AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
324 PM EDT SAT JUL 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL TROF WITH A WEAK SURFACE TROF/FRONTAL REPRESENTATION
WILL SLIDE EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT. ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES WILL
DROP SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE UPPER GREAT LAKES ON
SUNDAY AND MONDAY BRINGING DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION. THIS PARADE
OF FRONTS WILL KEEP THE WEATHER SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT
FEW DAYS WITH SCATTERED SHOWER OR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
EACH DAY. MID- WEEK LOOKS FAIRLY DRY...BUT SHOWERS MAY RETURN FOR
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING/...
WEAKLY FORCED CONVECTION WILL LAST INTO THE EVENING HOURS WITH A
FEW STORMS CAPABLE OF PULSING HIGH ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SMALL HAIL
AND GUSTY WINDS. BEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE
REGION SO SEVERE THREAT REMAINS LOW. WEAK BOUNDARY LAYER WIND
SHIFT WILL BE THE MAIN LOW LEVEL REFLECTION OF UPPER LEVEL
TROF/DRYING...WHICH IS CURRENTLY PUSHING INTO CENTRAL OHIO.
CONVECTIVE TEMPS CURRENTLY BEING REACHED OVER THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS
WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS SPROUTING OVER CAMBRIA AND SOMERSET
COUNTIES. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS AND NORTHERN TIER THROUGH THE MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON. SLIGHTLY MORE ORGANIZED ACTIVITY MAY APPROACH FROM THE
WEST AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES INTO WESTERN PA.

ISOLD-SCT CONVECTION WILL DIE DOWN AFTER SUNSET. BUT...LOW CLOUDS
COULD HANG ON IN THE NW OVERNIGHT.

OVERALL...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS MINIMAL...BUT DO EXPECT SOME
SMALL HAIL AND SUB-SEVERE GUSTY WINDS UP TO 35KTS WITH THE TALLEST
CELLS...WHICH SHOULD BE OVER THE NORTHWEST WHICH IS IN GREATER
PROXIMITY TO MORE FAVORABLE SHEAR...ALLOWING SHRA/TSRA TO MORE
EFFICIENTLY VENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /10 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
DRIER AIR AT THE SURFACE AND THE THE MAIN (ALBEIT SLIGHT) COOLING
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROF/WEAK SFC FRONT WILL HANG BACK IN
THE MIDWEST TONIGHT AND PASS THROUGH ON SUNDAY...AS HEIGHTS FALL
ALOFT AND THE LEFT- EXIT REGION OF A STRONG JET ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE TROUGH DROPS THROUGH OHIO. THIS WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS OVER MOST OF THE REGION ON SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
EAST. CAPES ARE GENERALLY LOWER SUN AFTN WITH A BIT OF MID-LEVEL
WARMING. AGAIN...MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL DIE OFF AFTER SUNSET.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LONGWAVE TROUGH LINGERS OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEK WILL KEEP
LOW POPS IN THE FORECAST WITH SEASONAL TEMPS.

FIRST DISTURBANCE SLIDES THROUGH SUN NIGHT WITH SHOWERS ENDING.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AT THE SURFACE. A MINOR E-W TROF WILL DROP
DOWN ON NW FLOW MONDAY AFTERNOON AND MAY CREATE SHOWERS MONDAY
AFTERNOON IN THE NW. THE REST OF THE AREA WILL BE UNDER WEAK
SUBSIDENCE AND WILL HAVE A VERY LOW CHC OF SHOWERS.

SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVES SLIDE OVERHEAD MON/TUE KEEPING LOW
CHANCE FOR TSTORM IN THE FORECAST. MORE SIG WAVE SLIDES THROUGH
WED WITH SURFACE REFLECTION BRINGING BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN THIS
WEEK. THEN CHANCE CONVECTION WILL CONINUE THU BEFORE A DRIER
PERIOD FRI/SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A WEAK TROF/SFC COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AIR MASS WILL BE UNSTABLE THROUGH THIS
EVENING ALLOWING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA...AT FIRST OVER THE
RIDGES...AND THEN SLIGHTLY MORE NUMEROUS AND ORGANIZED ALONG THE
BOUNDARY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. REDUCTION IN CIGS/VSBYS
FROM VFR TO MVFR WILL BE EXPECTED. IN AND ARND ANY TSRA CIGS/VSBYS
COULD EASILY FALL BRIEFLY TO IFR. CONDS WILL RETURN TO VFR CENTRAL
TO SOUTHEAST SECTIONS AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH SOME LOCAL MVFR CIGS
POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT AS THE UPPER TROF PASSES...WHILE THE NORTHWEST
WILL LIKELY KEEP MVFR CIGS AND LCL IFR CIGS OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING.

UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY NEXT
WEEK...WITH TYPICAL CONDITIONS BEING MAINLY VFR OUTSIDE OF THE
CONVECTION. THEN PATCHY FOG AND HAZE RESTRICTING THINGS AT NIGHT
INTO THE FEW HOURS AFTER SUNRISE.
