AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
949 AM EST WED FEB 7 2007

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...

WEAK LOW PRESSURE THAT BROUGHT LIGHT SNOW TO THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
PENN OVERNIGHT WAS EXITING QUICKLY EAST OF THE VIRGINIA COAST THIS
MORNING. OVERNIGHT SNOWFALL RANGED FROM A DUSTING TO ONE HALF OF
AN INCH ACROSS THE CENTRAL MTNS...TO BETWEEN 1 AND 1.5 INCHES NEAR
THE MARYLAND BORDER.

NORTHWEST BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW AND A BRIEF INCREASE IN THE DEPTH OF
THE COLD AIR WILL MAINTAIN FAIRLY NUMEROUS SHSN ACROSS THE FAR NW
MTNS AND LAUREL HIGHLANDS THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE A COATING TO AT MOST 2 INCHES ON
THE WINDWARD SLOPES OF THE RIDGES.

LOW WIND CHILLS /WITH A NORTHWEST WIND OF 10 TO 20 MPH...GUSTING
TO AROUND 25 MPH/ WILL BE THE MOST NOTABLE ADVERSE WEATHER
ELEMENT IN MANY AREAS TODAY...AND WILL AVERAGE BETWEEN ZERO AND 10
BELOW ACROSS THE MTNS AND ZERO TO 10 ABOVE THROUGHOUT THE SUSQ
VALLEY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 506 AM EST WED FEB 7 2007/

SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

LATEST SFC OBS SHOW A WEAK SFC LOW ASSOCIATED WITH SHORT WAVE
TROF MOVING EAST NEAR THE VIRGINIA/NORTH CAROLINA BORDER.
DEFORMATION ZONE ALONG NRN EDGE OF LOW BECAME ACTIVE EARLY THIS
MORNING WITH LIGHT SNOW BREAKING OUT OVER GOOD PORTION OF CWA.
THIS AREA OF SNOW IS MOVING SOUTH AND EAST AND WILL BE EXITING THE
CWA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH MOST AREAS RECEIVING ONLY A
DUSTING OF NEW SNOW. BEHIND THIS SYSTEM SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY
SUNNY BY AFTERNOON OVER MANY EASTERN SECTIONS. LAKE ENHANCE CLOUDS
WILL DOMINATE THE WESTERN AND NORTH MOUNTAINS.

THOUGH STILL COLD AND BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS...TODAY WILL FEEL
WARMER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS. LAST NIGHT WAS A MUCH BALMIER NIGHT
..WITH WIND CHILL VALUES EARLY THIS MORNING ONLY IN THE LOW
SINGLE DIGITS.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD SO WILL KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET...AS
COLD BUT DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED INTO NEXT WEEK. IN FACT...AFTER
THE DEPARTURE OF THIS MORNINGS SNOW...WE DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR SIGNIFICANT PCPN FOR SOME TIME...SAVE SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS DOWNWIND OF LAKE ERIE. IN FACT MREF ENSEMBLES DO NOT
SHOW THE PROBABILITY OF A TENTH OF AN INCH OF PCPN AFFECTING ANY
PART OF PA UNTIL NEXT TUESDAY WHEN A SRN STREAM WAVE IS PROGGED
TO MOVE TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.

AVIATION /10Z-06Z/...
VERY LIGHT SNOW FALLING ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL PA. THUS MANY SPOTS
WILL HAVE MVFR CONDITIONS TO AROUND SUNRISE. EXPECT THINGS TO
IMPROVE AFTER THIS...AS A WEAK STORM MOVES OF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST.

AFTER THIS...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE
BFD AT TIMES...WHICH MAY BE MVFR AT TIMES INTO THU. HOWEVER...EVEN
BFD MAY BE VFR FOR MUCH OF TODAY...AS THERE IS A LOT OF DIRECTIONAL
SHEAR EARLY ON. BETTER CHC OF LAKE EFFECT ACROSS THE NW MOUNTAINS
WOULD BE THU...AS WINDS ALOFT BECOME MORE NW.

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
