Pittsburgh Spring 2025


Recommended Posts

Another day and another chance for severe. Yesterday stayed west and east so hopefully the same happens. There's still lines and trees down all over the city. 
I haven't really had anything severe since Tuesday and even that storm was just wind for me. Unfortunately, just enough to knock my power out for a day. But, I'm fine with this. That was no fun. And I was one of the lucky ones to get it back in a day.

Through yesterday, this has been the sixth warmest spring to date.

By my calculation, May would need to finish with an average temperature of 68.1F to tie the record for warmest spring (set in 2024). Currently, the month to date is at 65.4F. We will lose some ground this week; however, there are some indications of a warmer weather pattern by the middle of the month. Either way, a top five warmest spring season is looking increasingly likely.

A touch of frost on my roof earlier, but that was it. Low of 36 on my weather station. Otherwise, looks like a beautiful weekend for a change. Trey from KDKA did note a little wildfire smoke might make things a touch hazier tomorrow morning, but doesn’t look like it should be too thick by the time it reaches our latitude.

Apparently, there was indeed a tornado on Friday, but damage was minimal. It appears to have touched down a little before this warning was issued.
