Scott Harbaugh: Extended Forecast (10/17)
Let’s talk about the last ten days of October. A couple shots of colder than normal air should provide us with our first true “cold spell” of the fall season. Temperatures will average below normal from October 21-31, especially near Halloween. It also looks like we’re setting up for a fairly wet pattern. Keep in [...]

80 degrees in the middle of October? It is certainly not unheard of around here, but it is a bit on the rare side. Pittsburgh has seen two true October heat waves since records have been kept in the 1870s. A heat wave, in October, is usually considered to be three consecutive days at or more [...]

Each week I do an extended forecast that airs Sunday mornings on Channel 11 News Weekend. It is basically a general outlook for a period beyond the 5-day forecast. However, I decided for the true weather connoisseur I’d start going a little more in depth each week right here on our blog page. So, here goes [...]

There is definitely some color now. I noticed it full tilt on my way home from work on Thursday. i take Camp Horne Road from the Parkway North to route 65. It’s very tree-lined and really pops this time of year. Most of the Pittsburgh area is only running about 20%-30% of color right now, [...]

Mid-October, five days of sunshine, highs approaching 80 degrees – must be Indian Summer. Ehhhhh. . . maybe, maybe not.
Traditionally, the definition of Indian summer is a prolonged period of warm, dry weather (so far so good) . . . . following the first frost. There’s the caveat. Only part of our area has seen the first frost. [...]
Scott Harbaugh: Well, This is Disappointing
I make no secret of my love for snow. Winter is my favorite season (mainly because of Christmas). When the calendar turns to October I start to get excited about the first snowfall. So, imagine my disappointment this morning as I’m looking up snowfall records from the past 125 years and come to realize we’re [...]

Every Friday in October I’m going to try to give you an update on fall foliage in the area. Peak season in southwestern Pennsylvania is mid-October, so you can imagine there is not much to report this week.
I did notice a little bit of color in Latrobe the other day when I was at Latrobe [...]
Scott Harbaugh: Do You Know Where You Put Your Coat?
October arrives on Wednesday and with it the coldest high temperatures we have seen since May. May 22 was the last time we had high temperatures in the 50s. We should be able to pull off two straight day in the 50s this week….. ehh, maybe three days in a few locations.
Now, clouds at night [...]
Scott Harbaugh: It’s Not Your Imagination . . .
. . . It’s DRY! We’re about to break the mark for driest stretch of days in 2008. Look at the list – what you’ll notice is the three driest stretches of the year have all occurred in the last 40 days. Not exactly a biblical stretch of rain. The good news is it looks [...]

Last week I wrote about lightning safety and Major League Baseball. Apparently, I am not the only one a bit concerned with how long umpires allow a game to continue. Check out the link and read my post below: Someone Remind Me to Call MLB.
