AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
125 AM EDT TUE APR 4 1995

FIRST FRONT WASHED OUT...FEW SHOWERS TO THE W AND N OF STATE
COLLEGE...AND OUTFLOW OF COOLER AIR WENT THRU EARLY EVENING.  DRY
PUNCH OVER WNY...WITH VERY STRONG FRONT HEADING TOWARD REGION
TODAY.

MAIN DYNAMICS FCST TO LIFT NE AWAY FROM AREA THIS AM...AND WITH
COLDER AIR COMING IN RIGHT BEHIND FRONT...THINK SHOWERS WILL BE
EAST OF MTNS...BUT NOT AS MANY AS IS THE CASE TO THE N AN W...NOR
DO I SEE THUNDERSTORMS.

EFFECTS OF COLD AIR WILL TAKE HOLD BY SUNSET ACROSS THE ENTIRE
REGION...AND TEMPS WILL CRASH.  STRONG DOWNWARD MOTION TONIGHT
AND SOME SHEAR...THUS LE WILL BE LIMITED...BUT A BETTER CHANCE ON
WED...AS WINDS LINE UP BETTER.  BEST CHANCE WILL BE IN
CNY...GIVEN COLDER AIR ALOFT AND FETCH...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH
PORTIONS OF W AND N PA.

THINK MAX TEMPS FOR WED WILL BE COOLER THAN MODEL OUTPUT...THIS
IS VERY COLD AIR...AND WINDS WILL BE ON THE GUSTY SIDE.  HARD TO
SEE ANYONE GETTING ABOVE FREEZING WED...BUT MAYBE PHL.

500 MB WIND MAX WILL BE OVER REGION WED...THUS EXPECT SOME STRONG
WINDS...BUT MOST LIKELY BELOW DAMAGING LEVELS...AS SFC GRADIENT
FCST TO WEAKEN WITH TIME.  MIGHT BE A FUN DAY IN THE MOHAWK
VALLEY OF NY.

TO EARLY TO TELL ABOUT WARM ADV. SNOW FOR THU.

EXPECT SOME RECORDS TO GO...MAYBE SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR SO
LATE...ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL HELP KEEP TEMPS UP AT NIGHT...BUT SOME
READING CLOSE TO ZERO POSSIBLE.
