Got the timing wrong. Anyway, clouds are hanging on a little too long I think. My guess is a peak at 88 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 On the 5 minute obs, KPIT is lagging so far behind the rest of the area. Most places are recording upper 70, low 80s, KPIT is at...73. No 90s today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's weird is this hasn't even been a stretch of unusually cool summers, but rather a stretch that has included some of the hottest summers in Wheeling weather history, including the hottest (2016), 5th hottest (2020), 8th hottest (2021), and 11th hottest (2018) on record.

Ahoff Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Lol, KPIT went from 82 to 77 from 12:05 to 12:15. Huge miss for today. Edit: down to 75 at 12:20. Is it raining there? It doesn't mention rain. But 88 in Ambridge? Really 80s everywhere, except to plunging temps at KPIT, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumped from 75 to 81 in 5 minutes earlier, then dropped in the same amount of time a little over an hour later. I trust the low 80s as accurate and the 75s seem to be an error.

That's what I wonder too. It hung onto 72 for the longest time this morning as well. Something always seems to be up with their sensor, lol.

TimB Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The 75 is definitely wrong. There is no PWS anywhere in the county that’s even below 80 at the moment. Most near the airport are in the low 80s. AGC is 83. Regardless, 90 wasn’t happening either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd they would consider that accurate, unless it really is that cool there. I'd be shocked if it was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Sensor is 100% messed up look at 1:05 to 1:10, 75 to 84. Has peaked at 85 for 1:51 then 1:55 went back to 75. Wonder what's up? Edit: Now it's up to 88. If we somehow manage 90 today, that be insane, lol. I expect 62 in the next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we get a no doubter 90 tomorrow so the record isn’t tarnished either way whether PIT gets to 90 today or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 Gonna be tough to get there today. 82 at 11am isn't a great place for 90 and with relatively heavy cloud cover that's not helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 I will say it is remarkable that in the all-time hottest month ever, in hundreds or thousands of years, based on 44 years of data, don't even ask a damn question about that stat, Pittsburgh still will struggle and maybe fail to reach 90 on a surefire day to do so. It is very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday if the clouds cleared earlier and same for today, probably wouldn't have been a question to getting to 90, but we can't buy clear skies on these type of days.

TimB Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Whether we hit 90 today or not, it’s very likely that would be our only 90 for the month. We had none in July 2021 and only one in July 2022. The last (and only) time we had 1 or fewer 90 degree days for at least three Julys in a row was from 1958-1962. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we make it today that's 90 degree days in the last three Julys, when we should average 12 in that span. Well below average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
