Should get a good amount of precip over the next few days.
Quote:
For the rest of the day, and likely for the foreseeable future,
scattered showers and thunderstorms will move further inland
during the late morning and early afternoon hours. Chances 40-50%
across SE TX/SW LA, going a little higher 50-60% for C and SC LA
with increased moisture with the approaching tropical wave and
slight breakdown of the ridge aloft along the Gulf coast. The
showers and thunderstorms expected to diminish after sunset, but
with increasing tropical moisture from the east, will keep a
slight chance this evening and overnight.
The tropical wave axis is expected to move across the NW Gulf into
LA/SE TX over the weekend, bringing increased deep layer moisture
and instability. The moisture will likely linger into the early
part of next week, continuing better than normal chances of
afternoon showers and thunderstorms. For this, chances of 60-70%
or better expected during the daytime Saturday through Monday,
with lingering chances overnight across any given location.
For Tuesday through Thursday, blended guidance gradually decreases
chances to 50% chances for Tuesday, and 30-40% for Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons.
I'm still in the 60s. lol Feels weird. Last time staying below 65°F in July was in 2005. Couple more days like this and the monthly Avg would take a nice hit downwards.
As we were talking about the other day, the Moon Twp location is 2 to 4 deg cooler than the lower valley locals. But 90% of our metro is in the hills in the 1000' to 1400' elevation so it is relatively representative of Allegeheny County IMO. Moon twps population density is average for a suburban area (a bit over 1000 ppsm) so it's not "sparsely developed". It's not northeastern urban, but it's much more representative than a temperature reading in the north side.
If it were in Armstrong County, I'd agree
Moon Township does not have uniform population density or development. The National Weather Service Pittsburgh office is located in a residential area next to an elementary school, but the vast majority of the township's population and development is to the south and east. There's little development to the north and west. The estimated population within a five-mile radius of the office is only 64,126, with almost all of it to the east. Furthermore, despite the majority of Allegheny County being more than 1,000' above sea level, the elevation at the National Weather Service office (1,185') is still higher than the county's average elevation (approximately 1,050' per USGS elevation data), and closer in elevation to the county's highest point (1,399') than its lowest point (686'). My point stands. The National Weather Service Pittsburgh office has their thermometer stuck in the bushes on a hilltop with a negligible urban heat island effect nearby. The area nearby is a lot more dark green than gray.
Max temps... but until midnight comes some of these might not be actual. Might get bit warmer next few hours. But wow... at the 60s
