AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
952 AM EST WED NOV 23 2005

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)...

WILL SEND ANOTHER UPDATE LATE MORNING...ONCE LAKE EFFECT BAND IS
GONE.

LAKE EFFECT BAND MOVING...SO NOT A LOT OF ACCUMULATION...BUT
TRAFFIC THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING IS NORMALLY VERY HEAVY...THUS
ONLY A DUSTING TO AN INCH OF CONCERN.

BAND SHOULD FALL APART...AS RIDGE BUILDS IN THIS AFT.

...GENERAL THINKING ON UPCOMING SYSTEM...

VERY STRONG WARM ADVECTION...FOLLOWED BY RAPID HEIGHT FALLS. WILL
HAVE TO WATCH FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND SQUALLS...AS PAST EXPERIENCE
WITH SUCH SYSTEMS IS THAT EVEN SEVERE STORMS CAN OCCUR...IF ENOUGH
MOIST AIR IS PULLED NORTHWARD. IN THIS CASE...NOT LIKELY...BUT
STILL CONCERN ABOUT SQUALLS AND STRONG WINDS...ALTHOUGH BULK OF
SQUALLS MAY BE NORTH OF US...HAVE NOT LOOKED AT NEW DATA/RUNS YET.
LAKE EFFECT COULD LINGER WELL INTO FRIDAY...AS LAKES ARE STILL
QUITE WARM...AND WINDS ALOFT ARE EVEN MORE NW BY THEN.

SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)...

UPDATE ISSUED TO ACCOUNT FOR ADVISORY IN THE LAURELS EXPIRING. NO
OTHER CHANGES MADE.

LA CORTE

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 451 AM EST WED NOV 23 2005)

SHORT TERM (TODAY AND THANKSGIVING)...

CHILLY AND BREEZY NIGHT IN PLACE WITH LAKE STREAMERS MEANDERING
ABOUT THE REGION. ADVISORY FOR THE LAURELS WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE
AS THE RIDGE BUILDS IN AND BOTH CHANGES THE BEST OVER LAKE
TRAJECTORIES AND CAUSES INVERSION HEIGHT TO LOWER. A RELATIVELY
TRANQUIL DAY WILL BE IN PLACE FOR THE HOLIDAY TRAVELERS BEFORE AN
ARCTIC FRONT BRINGS A CHANGE FOR THE WORSE LATER TONIGHT AND
ESPECIALLY THANKSGIVING DAY INTO FRIDAY. BITTER CHILL AND A STRONG
WEST TO WSW FLOW WILL POUR INTO THE REGION AND BRING SOME LIGHT
SNOWS INITIALLY...THEN POSSIBLY A ROUND OF SNOW SQUALLS WITH THE
ARCTIC FRONT AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE REGION. IT POINTS TO A LESS
THAN IDEAL DAY FOR HOLIDAY TRAVELERS.

ISSUED A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH FOR WARREN COUNTY FOR A POSSIBLE
LONG DURATION EVENT STARTING DURING THE DAY THURS. MODELS DRIVE AN
ARCTIC FRONT ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE MORNING. OUTPUT SUGGESTS
WE GROW SOME RESPECTABLE COLD SEASON INSTABILITY WITH PROGGED
TOTAL TOTALS FROM THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S FROM CENTRAL PA
NORTHWARD...AND 850-700MB LAPSE RATES EXCEEDING 8C/KM. WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISED TO SEE THUNDER SQUALLS ACCOMPANY THE FRONT.

ETA/GFS AND SREFS ALL PROCEED TO DEVELOP A STRONG WESTERLY
FLOW...SOME 2-3 STD DEV ABOVE NORMAL WHICH THEY PERSIST INTO AT
LEAST FRIDAY MORNING. THE FETCH ACQUIRES ENOUGH OF AN OVER LAKE
TRAJECTORY TO PUT WARREN COUNTY IN THE CROSS HAIRS FOR A POTENTIAL
SIG LAKE EFFECT EVENT. UPSLOPE AREAS OF THE LAURELS WILL ALSO HAVE
TO BE WATCHED...BUT AT THIS TIME AM THINKING MAINLY ADVISORY TYPE
SNOWS AS THERE SHUD NOT BE A SIG CONTRIBUTION FROM THE LAKES GIVEN
THE EXPECTED FLOW. ALSO STRONG WINDS WILL CREATE THE POSSIBILITY
OF CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCED VISIBILITIES.

LA CORTE

LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...

ONCE WE WEATHER THE ARCTIC BLAST...SOME MODERATION LOOKS TO BE IN
THE CARDS. THE SFC HIGH SLIPS OFF TO OUR EAST BY SATURDAY...AND
500 HEIGHTS RECOVER TO 5700+ BY EARLY IN THE NEW WORK
WEEK...ACCORDING TO THE 00Z GFS. THE CONFIDENCE IN A SIG WARM
UP IS LOW HOWEVER AS 18Z MREF WAS NOT NEARLY AS AGGRESSIVE IN
BUILDING THE ERN HGHTS. IT INDICATED A NOSE OF COLD AIR HANGING
TOUGH OVER THE NERN US...AND GIVEN THE COMPLEX UPPER PATTERN
ADVERTISED IN THE OPERATIONAL GFS...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
THE WARM UP NOT MATERIALIZE. THE COMPLEX SPILT FLOW ADVERTISED IS
NOTORIOUSLY HANDLED POORLY BY SHORT RANGE MODELS.

LA CORTE

AVIATION...

LAKE EFFECT RESULTING IN MVFR CIGS OVR THE ALLEGHENY MTNS THIS AM
WITH LOCALIZED IFR VIS IN NARROW SNOW BANDS. HI PRES PRES RIDGE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION BY LATE AM...BRINGING AN END TO THE LAKE
EFFECT AND A RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS. INTENSIFYING LO PRES
APPROACHING FROM THE GRT LKS WILL RESULT IN A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW
FOR THE REGION OVERNIGHT. EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP FIRST
OVR THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS ARND 00Z...THEN SPREAD EAST TO THE SUSQ
