AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
1058 AM EST WED DEC 14 2005

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...

BIG MODEL DIFFERENCES STILL EXIST LATE THIS MORNING BETWEEN THE MAIN
DETERMINISTIC MODELS (NAM AND GFS). GFS HAS PROVEN TO HAVE A BETTER
TRACK RECORD WITH EAST COAST SYSTEMS (THIS SEASON SO FAR INCLUDED)
AND TENDS TO BE EAST AND COLDER THAN THE NAMS. WITH THIS IN
MIND...IN COORDINATION/COLLABORATION WITH KLWX AND KPHI...WE DECIDED
TO EXPAND OUR CURRENT WINTER STORM WATCH TO INCLUDE YORK...ADAMS AND
LANCASTER COUNTIES IN SERN PENN WHERE SIGNIFICANT ICING IS THE MAIN
THREAT.

THE PRIMARY DIFFERENCE OBSERVED BETWEEN THE NAM AND GFS APPEARS TO
BE THE LACK OF LAYER COOLING VIA EVAPORATION AND SUBSEQUENT STRONG
UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION. NAM LAGS THE GFS IN 925-850 MB WET BULB
COOLING THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT BY SOME 3-6 DEG C...WHICH LEADS
TO A MUCH QUICKER CHANGEOVER AND LIMITED SNOWFALL OVER ALL BUT THE
NORTH AND WEST. ANOTHER FACTOR IS AFTER A PERFECT RADIATIONAL
COOLING NIGHT AND RECORD LOW TEMPS...THICK HIGH CLOUD SHIELD THATS
OVERSPREAD THE REGION WAS KEEPING TEMPS UP TO SEVERAL DEG COLDER
THAN MAV AND MET GUIDANCE TEMPS.

THIS ALONG WITH LINEAR EXTRAPOLATION (WITHOUT A FURTHER EASTWARD
STORM TRACK) WOULD LEAD TO A GREATER ICING THREAT IN THE SOUTH AND
EAST AND MORE SNOW (DISPLAYED IN OUR GRIDS) FALLING ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND NW MTNS.

SREF PLUME DIAGRAMS ARE LEANING TO THE COLDER SOLUTION. FOR EXAMPLE
THE MEAN FZRA ACCUMULATION FOR KMDT IS AROUND 0.20 WITH THE MAX
VALUE OF 0.35 ON TOP OF 2-4 INCHES OF SNOW. FOR KUNV...THE MEAN AND
MAX FZRA OFF THE SREF PLUMES COMES IN A 0.22 AND 0.7...PRECEDED BY
A MEAN OF 4 OF SNOW WITH THE MAX AMOUNT BY ONE COLDER MEMBER AROUND
10. MOSTLY SNOW 6 TO 12 IS DISPLAYED BY THE PLUME DIAGRAMS ACROSS
THE NW MTNS.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 313 AM EST WED DEC 14 2005)

SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)...
HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE STREAMING EASTWARD THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY
TAKING ON A MOTHEATEN APPEARANCE AS IT DOES SO...HEADING INTO A
RATHER SHARP 500 MB SHORTWAVE RIDGE. STRONG 1040+ MB SFC HIGH OVER
SOUTHERN QUEBEC PRODUCING STRONG DAMMING SIGNATURE EAST OF THE
ALLEGENY PLATEAU...EXTENDING FAR SOUTHWARD TO THE CAROLINAS.
CURRENT TEMPERATURE RANGE ACROSS CENTRAL PA IS THE SINGLE DIGITS
(ABOVE AND BELOW ZERO). LOTS OF COLD AIR TO OVERCOME IN THE NEXT
24 TO 36 HOURS.

RIBBON OF DECAYING UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL TRANSLATE EASTWARD INTO
WESTERN PA TODAY...FILTERING THE SUNSHINE SOMEWHAT. BY THIS
EVENING...EXPECT THE HIGH CLOUDS TO HAVE DISSIPATED...WITH CLEAR TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH MIDNIGHT FOR MOST LOCATIONS. AFT 06
UTC...CLOUD COVER SHOULD RAPIDLY INCREASE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHWEST
AS OUR POTENTIAL WINTER STORM APPROACHES THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES...AS A RESULT...WILL REBOUND AND BE NEARLY 15 DEGREES
WARMER TOMORROW NIGHT THAN THIS MORNING. SNOW MAY BREAK OUT TOWARDS
12 UTC THURSDAY OVER THE LAURELS...BUT WITH LITTLE ACCUMULATION
UNTIL AFT 12 UTC.

LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
CONCERNS OVER PTYPE CONTINUE TO ABOUND FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT. CLASSIC COLD AIR DAMMING SIGNATURE WITH ANOMALOUS SFC HIGH
LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE NAM HAS BEEN OVERDOING THE WARMING IN THE
BOUNDARY LAYER...LEADING TO MORE MIXED PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. SREF PLUMES SHOW AGREEMENT OF MEMBERS FOR
PRECIPITATION STARTING AS SNOW EVERYWHERE DURING THE DAY THURSDAY.
THE FAR SOUTHEAST QUICKLY CHANGES TO A MIXTURE OF SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN...THEN EVENTUALLY TO RAIN...WITH ZR AMOUNTS FAR TOO
LOW TO CONSIDER WS WATCH FOR ADAMS...YORK AND LANCASTER.

FURTHER NORTH...PLUMES SHOW SEVERAL HOURS OF ACCUMULATING
SNOW...MIXING WITH SLEET THURSDAY EVENING...AND CHANGING BACK TO
SNOW FRIDAY MORNING AS THE LOW WINDS UP OVER SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY.
AND FROM JUST NORTH OF THE LAUREL MOUNTAINS THROUGH NORTHWEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL PA...PLAIN SNOW IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

SNOW AMOUNTS WITH THE MIXING ARE PROBLEMATIC. ASSUMED A 7:1 RATIO
WITH QPF VALUES 1 INCH W.E. - SO MAX AMOUNTS TOPPING OUT NEAR 7
INCHES IN MY GRIDS OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...WHERE QPF WAS
HIGHEST. FURTHER WEST AND NORTH...AMOUNTS DROP OFF SOMEWHAT IN THE
W.E...SO EVEN THOUGH THOSE AREAS STAY MOSTLY SNOW...THE AMOUNTS
SHOULD END UP LESS BUT STILL WITHIN WATCH CRITERIA.

TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE MAX SNOWFALL...SIGNIFICANT ICE
ACCUMULATION WILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY SOUTHEAST OF A STATE
COLLEGE TO ALTOONA LINE. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WILL ONLY BE ON
THE ORDER OF 2 TO 4 INCHES THERE...BUT SLEET AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS
COULD EASILY EXCEED 0.25. CONFIDENCE ON MEETING WATCH CRITERIA IS
CERTAINLY 50/50 FROM FRANKLIN COUNTY NORTHEASTWARD TO SCHUYLKILL
COUNTY...BUT GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DAMMING...CAUTION IS THE
ORDER OF THE DAY IN PLACES LIKE DAUPHIN AND CUMBERLAND COUNTY. A
SLIGHT DEVIATION IN THE TRACK OF THE SFC LOW WILL MEAN MORE WARM
AIR INTRUSION INTO THE MIDDLE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER VALLEY AND SOUTH
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...AND LESS IN THE WAY OF A SNOW/ICE THREAT. TOO
EARLY FOR SPECIFICS...BUT A WATCH IS DEFINITELY WARRANTED GIVEN
THE THREAT.

THINGS SHOULD WIND DOWN BY MIDDAY FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY A RATHER
PROLONGED LAKE EFFECT REGIME WHICH WILL LAST FROM FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION INTO MID MORNING THU AM.
THERE COULD BE AN ISOLATED AREA OR TWO OF FOG AND SMOKE EARLY THIS
AM...GIVEN A STRONG INVERSION.
