NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
824 PM EDT TUE JUL 25 1995

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STATE COLLEGE HAS ISSUED A
FLASH FLOOD WARNING EFFECTIVE UNTIL 1030 PM EDT
FOR PEOPLE IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS......

IN  PENNSYLVANIA

   ...NORTHERN CAMBRIA COUNTY

A HEAVY THUNDERSTORM MOVED ACROSS NORTHERN CAMBRIA COUNTY BETWEEN 730
AND 830 PM. HEAVY RAIN FROM THIS STORM IS CAUSING SMALL STREAMS IN THE
NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY TO RISE. SOME FLOODING HAS ALREADY BEEN
REPORTED IN THE TOWN OF ST. BONIFACE DUE TO RAPIDLY RISING WATERS IN
SMALL STREAMS.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY.  THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO
CROSS SAFELY.  VEHICLES CAUGHT IN RISING WATER SHOULD BE
ABANDONED QUICKLY.  MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
800 PM EDT TUE JUL 25 1995

TONIGHT/S CONVECTION NEVER SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN ON THE ORGANIZED
APPEARANCE ONE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED LOOKING AT THE MODELS SFC MSTR
CONVERGENCE OR UVV PROGS.  ACTIVITY OVER THE CTP 33 HAS BEEN NON-
SEVERE AND NON-FLOODING ..... LET/S KEEP IT THAT WAY!  LOOKING AT
RAMSDIS... AREA OF CONCERN SHOULD PROBABLY BE FOCUSED MORE ON
ACTIVITY OVER SE OH/WV ATTM...ALTHOUGH THE LAST PICTURE AT 2315Z
SHOWS SOME WARMING OF THE COLDEST TOPS IS NOW OCCURRING THERE AS
WELL.

EXPECT ACTIVITY TO SLOWLY DIE OFF TONIGHT AS THE PCPN CONTINUES
TO TREK NORTHEAST.  THINK THE SVR POTENTIAL IS JUST ABOUT
OVER...JUST WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR HEAVY RAIN.  TOMORROW WILL BE
ANOTHER 3H DAY.  POTENTIAL FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION SEEMS LESS
TOMORROW... WITH MODELS NOT INDICATING ANY SYNOPTIC SCALE
FORCING.  STILL...OROGRAPHIC AND MESOSCALE EFFECTS WILL LIKELY
ACT TO TRIGGER SOME CVCN.  JUST A WAIT AND SEE GAME AS TO WHERE
THEY EVENTUALLY POP UP.

FOR NOW... CURRENT ZONES LOOK GOOD WITH EVENING RW/TRW ENDING...
THEN PARTLY CLOUDY.  ANOTHER ROUND OF CHC POPS FOR TOMORROW
AFTERNOON LOOKS GOOD AS WELL.  PERHAPS WOULD WANT TO ADD THE
MENTION OF SOME FOG IN THE OVERNIGHT ZONES...ESP WESTERN PA.
