AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
203 PM EDT MON JUN 16 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA EARLY TONIGHT... WITH
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT.
THE FRONT WILL SIGNAL A PATTERN CHANGE...AS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL SETTLE OVER THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS WILL
RESULT IN BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
HEATING HAS RESULTED IN SCT/NMRS TSRA ACROSS THE NORTHERN
MTS...BUT THE CLOUDS AND RAIN IN THE SOUTH ARE KEEPING THAT AREA
SUPPRESED FOR NOW. EXPECT FURTHER DESTABILIZATION WITH THE STRONG
JUNE SUNSHINE. SVR BOX COVERS MOST OF THE REGION...AND ANOTHER MAY
BE ISSUED SHORTLY FOR THE SERN QUARTER. DROPPING HEIGHTS/TEMPS
ALOFT WILL HELP US TO REACH CAPES IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE.

SFC DEW POINTS KINDA LOW FOR SVR...AND CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH IN
WV/KY COULD ROB US OF A SIGNIFICANT INFLUX OF MSTR FROM THE
LLJET. HOWEVER...SINCE TROF IS DIGGING IN...AND A COLD FRONT WILL
BE MOVING THROUGH THIS EVENING...WE STILL EXPECT THUNDER TO OCCUR
OVER MOST OF THE AREA. DEEP UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR VALUES AND THOSE
MOD CAPES PUT US IN A GOOD CHC OF SEVERE.

SVR THREAT WILL DIMINISH DURING THE LATE AFTN IN THE NW AND THE
LATE EVENING IN THE CENTRAL MTS...AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH.
IN THE WAKE OF FRONT...EXPECT PARTIAL CLEARING OVR MOST OF THE
REGION LATE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY DOWNWIND/EAST OF THE ALLEGHENIES.
THE MOISTURE MAY LINGER IN THE WESTERLY UPSLOPE OF THE MTS...MUCH
MORE LIKE A TYPICAL WINTER SCENARIO THAN JUNE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
ENSEMBLE 850 TEMPS CROSSING LK ERIE FALL TO NR 3C LATE TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY...WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN SCT LAKE EFFECT SHRA ACROSS THE
NW MTNS. ELSEWHERE...EXPECT DRY BUT COOL CONDS WITH PLENTY OF
DIURNAL CU DEVELOPING TUES AFTN AND TEMPS WELL BLW NORMAL FOR
JUNE...ESPECIALLY OVR THE ALLEGHENIES WHERE CLOUD COVER WILL BE
THE MOST EXTENSIVE.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
UPPER LOW WILL REMAIN STALLED NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO
WED/THU...RESULTING IN A CONTINUATION OF THE COOL CONDS. MREF
PLUME DATA CLEARLY SHOWING THE BEST CHC OF SHWRS WED AFTN
ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORTWAVE ROTATING ARND SOUTHERN BASE OF UPPER
LOW. WILL CARRY LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE NW MTNS WED AFTN...WITH
EVEN A SLIGHT CHC ACROSS THE LOWER SUSQ VALLEY.

GEFS DATA SHOWING UPPER LO LIFTS OUT LATE WEEK...RESULTING IN
MODERATING TEMPS. HOWEVER...NEXT SHORTWAVE REINFORCES TROF BY NEXT
WEEKEND. 00Z MREF PLUMES INDICATE A SATURDAY ARRIVAL OF THIS
FEATURE IS MOST LIKELY...WHICH COULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A ROUND OF
CONVECTION AT THAT TIME.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
INITIAL LINE OF HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY JUST NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 80. THESE WILL SAG SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH 22Z. ADDED TEMPO TSRA CONDITIONS AS CELLS DEVELOPING AREA
WIDE. ANOTHER AREA OF LIGHTER RAIN OVER SOUTHERN PA MAY LIMIT THE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IN THAT AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL FOCUS ACTIVITY SO KEPT A SIMILAR
FORECAST FOR KMDT AS AIRFIELDS FARTHER TO THE NORTH.

ACTIVITY WILL WIND DOWN AFTER 01Z BUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL KEEP
A SCATTERED LAYER IN OVERNIGHT. STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING A
FALL-LIKE DAY ON TUESDAY. A BKN040 LAYER WITH VCSH WILL BE THE
RULE. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL GUST IN EXCESS OF 15 KTS DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

GENERALLY VFR CONDS ONCE AGAIN FOR WED/THU...ALTHOUGH SCATTERED
SHOWERS WILL BE AROUND EACH AFTN...ESP OVER THE MTS OF THE NORTH
AND WEST - WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS ABOVE 3KFT. FRIDAY LOOKS LIKE A
DRY DAY WITH LIGHT WINDS.

&&

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