Heat Index of 99 also, maybe should have had a heat advisory, as it may still reach that 100 mark. Edit: in an off hour it hit 92. Tied for the warmest day so far. Also, a wild gradient is set up. 90s here, and 68 in Philly. Not something you see everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 HRRR may end up kind of close. My weather app shows downtown at 95 right now. 93 at the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat index at Youngstown is up to 105F, which is the highest heat index on record at that location in the month of June - surpassing the record of 104F set just last week. And there's not even a special weather statement, or mention in the hazardous weather outlook, let alone a heat advisory? It's difficult enough to realize heat advisory conditions around here.

I've looked but can't seem to find historical data. It'd be interesting to know how hot it's felt here in the past. I'm particularly interested in know heat indices during the 2012 heat wave.

TheClimateChanger Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I went to the website cited in that article and generated this for KPIT. It uses available hourly data for the temp and dew point to generate a heat index. Extends back to 1945. According to this, since 1945, the maximum hourly heat index at PIT was 106F observed at 2 PM on June 27, 1978. Last week's heat wave tied the highest recorded heat indices for any June day (dating to 1945) for the 8 PM hour (96F) and 10 PM hour (91F). Keep in mind since this is based solely on hourly data, there could be a higher intra-hour reading.

I just looked up June 29th 2012 and what a miserable day. Low was 82, and high was 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Looks like the highest heat index we ever reached was 114 degrees, and that was July 15, 1995...the last time we hit 100. Conversely the lowest wind chill of all time was -47 degrees in January 1985, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Official high of 94 today. Let’s hope that stays the hottest day of the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 High was 94 at 2:59, low was 71 exactly one hour later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Wow. HRRR was right on the money. Probably the first 94 degree reading in June since 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Bradford (2106' feet near the NY border) was 93 degrees yesterday. That was the highest June temperature ever recorded at the airport, dating to 1958. Actually beat the record of 90 set just last by three degrees. Just goes to show how hot it was aloft yesterday. I saw some of the models had H85 temps up to 23C yesterday.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 How did everyone fair with the storms yesterday? I was in Wexford and it was pretty mild, but at home I got blasted. Tree limbs everywhere, power outage, fence was crushed by a tree in one section, garbage cans with trash bags in them blown over and the bags blown out. I’m not far from that BP that had the gas pump blown over. Must have been a microburst or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not far from that BP that had the gas pump blown over. Must have been a microburst or something. Wasn't too bad IMBY. The (empty) garbage cans did blow around a bit, but I didn’t see any tree limbs down or anything like. It did rain quite heavily for a time, which was somewhat needed as the heat and sun had dried things out a lot (and it looks like rain is going to be limited for the next week or so).

Rd9108 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 So where I was up in Butler County just north of Mars we got hammered for like 30 minutes. We were standing on the 9th tee about to tee off and all of the sudden it dropped 20 degrees and the wind started gusting hard. We didn't finish the hole and waited in the cart barn until it blew over. There was a lot of lightning and our dumbasses figured that since the rain slowed down we should finish the hole. As I hit my 3rd shot 50 yards out on to the green a huge lightning bolt easily 100 yards in front of us. My butt puckered and I refused to go back out there for atleast 30 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted Monday at 02:19 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:19 AM What's with the security bubble over Allegheny county recently? The storms keep dodging us to the north and south. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted Monday at 04:19 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:19 PM Was looking at records to see if we had a shot at a record low tomorrow morning. We don’t, but interesting to note that that the record low of 47 was set in 1988, along with a low of 46 just two days later. We know what came both before and after those chilly mornings.

TimB Posted yesterday at 01:40 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:40 PM Looks like we’re going to finish June basically average for temps. We’re at +0.2 and today should be roughly normal with a low about a half dozen degrees BN and a high about a half dozen degrees AN, so should stay +0.2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
