SATELLITE ALSO SHOWS DRYING IN THE MID AND HIGH LEVELS ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL PA WITH THE MULTI-LAYERED CLOUDS WRAPPED AROUND THE
TOP OF THE UPPER LOW FROM ERI SOUTHEAST TO ABE.  MODELS ALSO
CONCUR THAT UPPER CUT OFF LOW IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE FAST BUT WILL
GRADUALLY MOVE NORTHEAST OVER 48 HOURS. COORDINATED WITH PIT AND
PHL BY PHONE AND EXCEPT FOR SOME LAST MINUTE CHANGES CONSENSUS IS
TO KEEP THE WATCHES UP ACROSS UPPER SUSQUEHANNA AND PARTS OF
