79F dew point here today. Gross.

Gonna be a hot week in Pgh, bros.

From last night

Micro/downburst in the first one?

Micro/downburst in the first one?

Storms are so cool...when the temperature plummets and wind picks up suddenly as a storm approaches , that's the cold air being driven down from miles high in the atmosphere and and slammed into the ground. The gust front is like the shockwave before the real stuff arrives.

And when you happen to be right near where that downburst is hitting the ground, you are getting the wind at its highest velocity.

The sky last night was amazing. Went from light orange to pink to purple. 10 minutes later, gray clouds totally consumed the sky, and about an hour later a heavy downpour.

Since nothing is being done to slow this down, I guess this is just a weather story now:

Things I like: golfing, kayaking, hiking, biking.
Things I don't like: Sitting inside for 8 months of PA fallwinterspring.

(Yes, I know, that's a power narcissist observation but I'll be damnned if it doesn't work on a practical level.)

All fun and games until it hits 110 in Pittsburgh, with humidity.

This next week is going to be **** terrible

Gonna be a hot week in Pgh, bros.

Played some indoor volleyball in a gym with no a/c tonight. Not the best idea. Not the best.

I have had my weather station for three years, to this date the highest temperature it ever recorded was 94.5 on August 13 of last year.

Interestingly, the highest heat index and dew point it ever recorded were two days prior to that, on 8/11/2021. 81.9 F dew point for a heat index of 115. That record will definitely be tested on Sunday, current forecast high is 97.

Beautiful day on the breezy Jersey Shore today. Love my job!

Going out at noon to do yard work was a bad idea. It’s miserable outside.

Doing farm tours in Tulsa this week. 105+

Joy

Locally, 3.72" of rain on the month. 

A whopping 79.3% of that total fell from getting bullseyed by tiny storms between 7/6-7/9. The last twenty days, we've eked out three quarters of an inch in dribs and drabs. 

Feast or famine indeed. 

Got a nice rainfall last night, 0.87".

I have noticed that the most frequent and prolonged lightning always comes after the main line of storms moves through. We had steady rain with cloud to cloud lightning for a solid two hours last night. Was a nice show.

Getting a proper rain right now.

Why the flying fock is it 85 degrees outside at 7:51

Sounds like someone is yearning for the winter solstice. Bad vibes

Spend some time in Vegas (or Phoenix, or wherever in the southwest). It'll still be 80+° like 30 minutes before sunrise. And then it just goes up and up and up...........

They've been talking for a week here about how unbearably muggy it is, monsoonal moisture, flash thunderstorms and flooding, etc.

I looked up the humidity, and it's a whopping 28%. lol

We don't talk about humidity % in here

I walked 9 holes in roughly 90 degree heat index and zero shade on vacation. Zero complaints about that heat. But a man (and his dog) deserves a cool summer night ever once in a while to get a good walk
