Pittsburgh/Western PA WINTER ‘25/‘26

[Gordo74]

Well don’t I look the fool for making fun of the ides of March storm and now I’ve been without power since 6pm with no ETA.

Hey all.  With all the crazy weather I’m sure like you guys.  I’m always the ‘weather guy‘.  So I decided to create a mini hyper local weather app.  
 

This combines: 

1. my house tempest weather direct feed 

2. hrrr data from gribstream

3. Google pollen api  

4. nexrad level 2

5. open meteo aqi and pmi 

6. Rainviewer (regional rain and satellite) 

7. NOAA spc meso 

8. GOES-East from Iowa state  

 

https://scarlett-weather.delightfulplant-db525447.eastus2.azurecontainerapps.io

this is super beta and was a fun project with Claude code but I thought you guys would like it.   I’ll probably put it on a domain sometime soon. It was really meant for my neighbors but would love weather geek feedback.

Very cool! What did it pick up as far as max winds?

Yesterday it topped at 50mph before the power clipped out and the feed dropped.   May have been a higher gust.  It’s in a relatively good spot but still can be blocked from NW gusts.

0Z NAM with a mini-Namming, showing 6”+ with the frontal passage of the big Midwest storm Monday afternoon. As you would expect, that backed off a little this morning

Will still be interesting to see if that’s just a little white rain, or if there can be a period of accumulating snow.

Up to 66F at PIT. If we can hit 70F, that would be the fifth 70+ day of the year already, which would match 2025, 2000, 1946 & 1876 for most on record. Little bit of weather trivia there.

68.7 on my tempest right now

Looks like we might get a repeat of what the east coast dealt with last week with their frontal snow. I think it was mostly in the 2-3 range.

Hrrr like Beaver Co thru Cranberry

Im done with snow but if I can get 3-5” on the grass when it’s cold I’ll take it-it can be gone Wednesday

High end would be wild....

NAM had this look a couple days ago, and now has it back. Would have to thread the needle with timing. I’m on a work trip, so book it! :-)

Well defined cold front just entering into Pennsylvania.

Nws mentioned up to 1.5 inches per hour rates. Shaping up to a be surprise event

I'm not expecting much accumulation, but I won't be mad if I see some moderate to heavy snow briefly. NWS did mention amounts increased again with 12z, it should help it will be late evening so sun angle won't be a huge impact, it will just need to overcome the warmer ground.

Heavy snow here now. Laying on mulch and roofs so far
