NWS seemed to be pulling back on that in some of their forecast discussions/grids/zone forecasts. I’m not sure that means anything, it seems like they’ve put the 60ish gusts back into the southern half of the county. On second thought, not sure I want a 2/24/19 type event. I think that one involved widespread power outages.

I mean, yeah if the threat lessens, good.  Widespread damage and power outages are not good.

Looking forward to the 70s this week.  At least they're more seasonably appropriate now, lol.

NWS discussion hinted at 80 or even higher by Wednesday with a shot at the record of 83 if frontal timing is slow like non-GFS models are hinting at. I hope the 18z RGEM is overdone, but this would be the earliest 86 on record at PIT by almost a week.

We legit have 2 and half months left of possible winter weather maybe even 3. Granted we are losing prime climo so it doesn't stick around. I'll honestly be amazed if we don't atleast get one noteworthy storm this year. I mean even 3-6 is noteworthy at this point. 

Welp

Lol, I'm gonna doubt this one.  80 maybe, but 86, I'd be surprised.  Though we did run into the upper 80s in the first half of April back in what 2010-ish?

2010 is correct. Mid 80s, not upper. 85 on the 2nd, 84 on the 3rd, 85 on the 6th. The two 85s are the earliest 85s on record.

NWS is currently carrying a high around 81 for Wednesday. TWC says 83.

NWS discussion contains this:

“NBM probabilities give a 30% chance of tying the KPIT record high of 83F.”

Maybe I'm thinking of upper 80s later in April.

NWS has KPIT at 82 as of Wednesday, maybe that 86 isn't so out of the question.

There are a few that come to mind. There’s 2009, which I think had a few days get to 87 around the last week of April. I want to say we had a few hot days at the end of April 2017, then there’s 2002 which had a few days get to 86 or so in the middle of the month. That one isn’t as noteworthy here as it is on the east coast, where it’s the standard-bearer for early season heat. NYC got to 96.

I might just say screw it and off myself if we ever hit 96 in april.

Daily record is 83.

The record earliest:

85: 4/2/2010

86: 4/11/1930

87: 4/17/1896

88: 4/18/1896 (actual high that day was 90)

So if we overperform, we’re talking about temperatures a full week or two before they’ve ever been observed.
