AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
655 PM EST SAT DEC 27 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONT WILL LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY EVENTUALLY SPREADING
UNSEASONABLY MILD AIR OVER ALL OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. A COLD
FRONT WILL SWEEP EAST ACROSS THE STATE SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY COOLER
WEATHER THAT WILL LAST THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK. A PERIOD OF
LIGHT SNOW OR MIXED PRECIPITATION IS POSSIBLE LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER STORM EXPECTED AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
SFC OBS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE LOW LEVEL COLD AIR HANGING
TENACIOUSLY OVER THE CENTRAL VALLEY AREA WITH TEMPS AT JST IN THE
LOWER 60S...WHILE FIG/JST/UNV AND LOCATIONS EAST AND NORTHEAST
ARE STRUGGLING THROUGH THE MID 30S. SATELLITE HAS FINALLY STARTED
TO SHOW A NE TREND TO THE LOW CLOUD SHIELD...INCREASING MY
CONFIDENCE THAT AT LEAST THE SWRN 1/3 OR SO OF THE AREA WILL BREAK
OUT INTO THE MILD AIR. STILL HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE EASTERN
1/3 OR SO OF THE FCST AREA WHERE COLD AIR DAMMING CAN OFTEN HANG
ON FOR A FRUSTRATINGLY LONG TIME.

BOTH THE OPERATIONAL GFS AND NAM SHOW A TIGHT LI GRADIENT
REMAINING OVER ERN PA THROUGHOUT INTO THIS EVENING...WHICH HAS IN
THE PAST BEEN A GREAT INDICATOR THAT THE COLD AIR DAMMING SCENARIO
WILL BE SLOWER TO BREAK THAN THE GUIDANCE INDICATES. ANOTHER GOOD
INDICATOR IS THE LOW LEVEL AGEOSTROPHIC WIND...WHICH THE MODELS
AGREE TO KEEP OUT OF THE NORTHEAST AT 35-45 KT. AT THE VERY
LEAST...THIS LOW LEVEL COLD COMPONENT TO THE FLOW WILL NOT HELP
THE WARM AIR INTRUSION AND AT THE MOST...IT MAY THWART IT
ALTOGETHER.

NAM/WRF BUFKIT MSTR PROFILES SHOW LOW STRATUS AND FOG RE-DEVELOPING
ACROSS THE LWR SUSQ VALLEY TONIGHT...WITH OCNL DZ PSBL GIVEN A
MOIST SSELY FLOW. OTHERWISE...NO SIG WX IS ANTICIPATED THRU 12Z
SUN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL BE PLOWING THROUGH THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST
AFTER SUNRISE. A STEADY RAIN WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT FOLLOWED BY
DROPPING TEMPERATURES DURING THE AFTERNOON. WINDS MAY APPROACH
ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR MY WESTERN LINE OF COUNTIES BUT SHOULD
REMAIN BELOW FOR THE CENTRAL AND EAST AS COOL AIR REALLY NEVER
SCOURS OUT.

DIDNT PLACE THUNDER IN THE ZONES AHEAD OF THE FRONT SUNDAY...BUT
WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF A RUMBLE WAS HEARD IN A FEW LOCATIONS.
SFC BASED LIS DROP TO NEAR ZERO BUT CAPES AND MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES REMAIN MEAGER SO AM NOT TO TERRIBLY IMPRESSED WITH THUNDER
POTENTIAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY COOL BACK TO NEAR NORMAL BY LATE
WEDNESDAY...BUT TUESDAYS HIGHS SHOULD STAY SEVERAL DEG ABOVE
NORMAL AHEAD OF A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SEEN IN THE GEFS MSLP
PROGS...SLIDING OVER OR JUST TO THE NORTH OF PENN LATE ON
WEDNESDAY. A PERIOD OF LIGHT MIXED PRECIP NORTH...AND MAINLY
SCTD LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS SOUTH SHOULD ACCOMPANY THIS WEATHER
FEATURE. 6-HOURLY POPS FOR EVEN 0.05 ARE VERY MINIMAL ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA ON WEDNESDAY...SO MAX POPS AT THIS TIME
ARE IN THE 20-30 PERCENT RANGE THERE...AND NOT TO MUCH HIGHER
ACROSS THE NORTH.

HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY WITH FAIR WEATHER AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPS.

THE NEXT CHANCE FOR A SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE LATE IN THE
WEEK AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE IS FCST TO APPROACH THE EAST COAST WITH
SOME SORT OF CYCLONE APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE SW. AS IS
USUALLY THE CASE...DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE GFS/ECMWF AS TO
WHETHER THE SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN OR SNOW OR THE ALL TOO COMMON
WINTRY MIX. IT IS A WEEK AWAY SO NOT MUCH ELSE CAN BE SAID ABOUT
IT AT THIS POINT.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
COLD AIR DAMMING REMAINS ENTRENCHED OVER MOST OF CENTRAL PA...WITH
LIGHT NORTHEAST WINDS...AREAS OF FOG AND LOW STRATUS. THE WARM
AIR CONTINUES TO STREAM ACROSS WESTERN PA AND THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. KDUJ REPORTING 59
DEGREES WITH A SOUTHERLY WIND...WITH KFIG JUST A FEW MILES TO THE
EAST REPORTING NORTHEAST WINDS AND 42 DEGREES. WHERE WINDS HAVE
PICKED UP AND WARMER AIR HAS ARRIVED...MIXING HAS ALLOWED FOR VFR
CONDITIONS (AOO...JST AND BFD). OVER CENTRAL SECTIONS...CIGS AND
VSBYS GENERALLY IN THE MVFR RANGE AT UNV AND IPT. ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST...WHERE WIND ARE CALM...LIFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL. EXPECT
MUCH OF A CONTINUATION OF THESE CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE
OVERNIGHT. CENTRAL LOCATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO FLIRT WITH FOG AND
STRATUS FORMING AT TIMES WHEN WINDS SLACKEN...AND SEE IMPROVEMENT
WHEN WINDS PICK UP A BIT. LOCATIONS LIKE JST MAY REMAIN VFR
OVERNIGHT.

FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION SUNDAY MORNING...ACCOMPANIED BY
SHOWERS AND A SHIFT OF WIND INTO THE WSW. AFTER THE FRONT PASSES
SUNDAY MORNING...WE WILL TRANSITION INTO A MORE RECOGNIZABLE
PATTERN FOR THE TIME OF YEAR WITH COLD ADVECTION WESTLEY FLOW OVER
THE LAKES WHICH WILL KEEP THE HIGH TERRAIN TERMINALS IN THE WEST
UNDER THE WEATHER THE LONGEST...WITH IMPROVEMENT BEING FAIRLY
RAPID IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PART OF THE FLYING AREA.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP US BASICALLY FAIR AND DRY UNTIL ANOTHER
WEAK CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM SPREADS CLOUDS AND SOME REDUCED
CONDITIONS OUR WAY FOR LATER MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE RAPID FIRE
WEAK SYSTEMS KEEP UP THE PARADE WITH ANOTHER SLATED FOR EARLY WED.
