CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
920 AM EST MON JAN 24 1999

...WORK ZONES WILL BE SENT BY 1015 AM AS PHLADMCTP...

...ZONES TO FOLLOW BETWEEN BY 1045 AM...

BANDS OF FAIRLY HEAVY SNOW RACING ACROSS N PA...AS STRONG JET
MAX IS PRESENT ACROSS THE AREA.

SYSTEM IS MOVING FAST...SO AMOUNTS WILL NOT BE A LOT.  WILL
ADJUST FCST AS NEEDED.

EXPECT MUCH OF THE DECENT SNOW WILL BE GONE BY LATE MORNING
OR EARLY AFT.

00Z NGM A LITTLE COLDER FOR TONIGHT THAN THE ONE I SAW
YESTERDAY...BUT CURRENT FCST NOT BAD...THUS WILL NOT CHANGE OTHER
PERIODS FOR NOW.

WILL MOST LIKELY FINE TUNE FCST FOR FRI FOR N AND W AREAS
AFTER I GET A GOOD LOOK AT THE MODELS THIS AFT...BUT STILL
CONCERN THAT LACK OF SNOW COVER WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO SOAR
THIS WEEK...THUS WILL HAVE TO SLIP MAIN FRONT BACK TO THE SOUTH
EITHER LATE WED OR THU...TO GET ANY COOL AIR MUCH FURTHER SOUTH
THAN THE NY/PA BORDER OR ROUTE 6...UNLESS THERE IS SNOW COVER OR A
DECENT PUSH OF COLD AIR.

IN TERMS OF SNOW COVER...NEXT FEW DAYS WILL SLOWLY EAT AWAY AT THE
ICE...ESP. ON WED.  NIGHTS WILL PUT A BRAKE ON THE SPEED OF THE
MELT...THUS GIVING US TIME TO DRY OUT AND RETURN TO MORE OF A
NORMAL SITUATION ON AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS.

EITHER WAY...LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER LESS THAN PERFECT WEEKEND TAKING
FORM.

.CTP...NONE.
