AFTER A NIGHT OF HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA
VALLEY...THINGS HAVE QUIETED SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS THE CWA THIS

SNYDER COUNTY.  STILL A FEW FFW'S OUT FOR LOWER SUSQ VALLEY
COUNTIES ATTM...AS WELL AS A FEW TRIBS OF THE SUSQ ABOVE OR
APPROACHING FS.

LOOKS LIKE THE FOCUS OF HEAVIEST PCPN WILL BE EAST OF THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING AS NEXT MAIN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE SWINGS
THROUGH.  THETA-E RIDGE SLOWLY PULLS TO THE EAST TODAY...AND MODEL
SURFACE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALSO SHIFTS EAST WITH TIME.  CURRENT
ETA MODEL SHOWING A GOOD CORRELATION BETWEEN SFC MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE AND NARROW BAND OF RAIN OVER CENTRAL PA ATTM.

MID AND UPPER LEVEL FLOWS SLOWLY SHIFT TO THE SW THEN WEST DURING
THE NEXT 24 HOURS.  HOWEVER...FOR THE AFTERNOON...THE S-N FLOW @WILL
CONTINUE AND EVEN SMALL RIPPLES IN THE ATMOSPHERE WILL HAVE THE
TENDENCY TO PRODUCE N-S TRAINING BANDS OF PCPN.
