10/6/2018 Colors of tide XTide graphs changed to emphasize that they were upgraded. See next note. Comments welcome. 10/4/2018 I have fixed XTide and updated the harmonic files. There were some name changes so you might have to click EDIT to find the new station name. |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kpbz 211848 afdpbz area forecast discussion national weather service pittsburgh pa 248 pm edt Tue may 21 2019 Synopsis Rain chances return with a late Wednesday warm front, and again with a Thursday cold front. Near term through Wednesday The bulk of the next 24 hours will be dry as a result of high pressure centered over lake superior that extends southeast across the rest of the great lakes. This quiet stretch of weather will be interrupted by the potent storm system that is currently producing severe weather in the central united states. The warm front from this system will approach the region Wednesday afternoon and bring a chance of thunderstorms. Respectable low level lapse rates and shear will pose a threat for severe storms, at least across eastern ohio if not farther east. The ensembles are more aggressive than the deterministic models with the coverage of thunderstorms, so increased pops across the area, but did not have enough confidence to go with likely pops at this time. After cooler temperatures today, highs should range from the lower 70s to the lower 80s on Wednesday. Short term Wednesday night through Friday The warm front with the low pressure system will move through the region Wednesday evening, with the associated cold front arriving late Thursday. Both wind shear and instability values will be higher on Thursday, and all locations will have the threat for severe weather, particularly during the late afternoon and early evening hours. However, the threat does not appear to be nearly as strong as the severe weather that has been ongoing in the plains. Still did not have enough confidence to add likely pops to the forecast, and the forecast thinking is that thunderstorm coverage will remain scattered. The threat of rain will continue Thursday evening, but |
conditions should dry out on Friday with the front pushing through to the south. Temperatures will be above normal, with highs ranging from the mid 70s to the mid 80s. Long term Friday night through Tuesday While there will be some ripples occasionally in the upper level flow, the flow will generally be zonal through the time period. This will allow multiple shortwaves to move through and bring a repeated chance for showers. The most defined feature through the extended forecast is a cold front that will move through Saturday, and modest amounts of wind shear and instability will allow for yet another chance of severe weather on Saturday. Confidence was not yet high enough to include in the hwo at this time. Temperatures will remain above normal through the period. Aviation 19z Tuesday through Sunday Vfr is expected through most of the TAF period under high pressure, though mid level clouds should increase in warm advection later today and tonight. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible between 18z wed and 00z thu, but confidence is not high enough to include a mention in the extended portion of the pit TAF at this time. Outlook Restrictions are possible with crossing disturbances late Wed and thu, and again sat. Pbz watches warnings advisories Md... None. Oh... None. Pa... None. Wv... None. |

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
