TheClimateChanger Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 52 minutes ago, TimB said: That’s the other thing. Actual extreme heat in western vs. central PA looks different. 97 and above isn’t uncommon at MDT, and in fact recently seems to occur in as many summers as it doesn’t. PIT has only reached 97 in one summer (2012) since 1995. A lot of that is just elevation. MDT is 300 feet ASL, whereas PIT is 1200 feet ASL. Temperatures decline about 3-4 degrees, per 1000 feet rise. If records were still taken downtown (700-ish feet, plus UHI), there probably would be a handful of additional 97 degree readings in that timeframe. MDT also benefits from being downwind of the mountains, so downsloping effects can even enhance these differences on the hottest days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we're going to have a year without a summer this year. Year without a summer is super interesting. Apparently it would sometimes be hot and then suddenly get super cold randomly. "Rapid, dramatic temperature swings were common, with temperatures sometimes reverting from normal or above-normal summer temperatures as high as 95 °F (35 °C) to near-freezing within hours." It would also be very wet and damp feeling but chilly at the same time which is interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Both the CMC and GFS would end the discussion of a record setting dry May (as depicted) when a whirling dervish low gets cut off over in the SE, slowly moves up the coast and minors out. CMC is less but probably enough to get us out of record territory. To the surprise of no one, Memorial Day is ditched sun and fun wise for many beach communities again.

He only said less and shorter heat waves. More of a normal summer. If may can hold on for Bn that will be 3 of the last 8 months Bn. Not great but not a 100 full on heatbox either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 51 for the low here...normal or slightly BN at MDT with 53. Does MDT break out of their recent BN streak today? Meso's suggest the front will be too slow and MDT will get to the required 77 to go AN today as they top out near 80. On the GFS, back to BN tomorrow then another week near normal heading into the holiday. Today is the warmest day, high temp wise, on the entire GFS run. The areas gets caught in a slow moving ULL as we move into Met Summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USGS has to be getting their crayons out to color up the LSV on the drought map next week if nothing big happens today. This map is as bad as I have seen it (have not looked at it prior to moving back to PA). It was probably worse before the April rain but did not check it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The Roofus is not too bad for Western and Northern LSV today. Not going to change any drought designations but will water the grass. 3K not too far off this depiction. No droughts at the shore. This crappy trend of wet weekends there continues.
