Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 3:56 PM EDT, 1 hour 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 356 PM EDT MON JUN 16 2008 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA EARLY TONIGHT... BRINGING AN END TO THE SEVERE STORMS. THIS 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 /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... 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 WATCHES IN EFFECT INTO THIS EVENING. 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 LL JET. 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 BY EARLY EVENING IN THE NW AND THE MID EVENING IN THE CENTRAL MTS AND PTS SE...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 /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... EXPECT DRY SLOT TO GIVE US SOME SUN EARLY ON...BUT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WEST AND NORTH LATER IN THE DAY...AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVE IN. TEMPS WILL STILL BE ON THE MILD SIDE. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... UPPER LOW WILL REMAIN STALLED NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...RESULTING IN A CONTINUATION OF THE COOL CONDS. SOME CHC OF SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY WED AND THU. WAVE FCST TO STAY SOUTH OF THE AREA ON SATURDAY...BUT FRONT MOVING IN FOR THE WEEKEND...AND ALSO MONDAY...SO WENT WITH 20 POPS. && .AVIATION /20Z 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.
