AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
328 PM EST THU DEC 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE STATE TODAY BEFORE ANOTHER
STORM BRINGS MORE WINTRY WEATHER LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. YET
ANOTHER POTENTIAL WINTER STORM LOOKS TO AFFECT THE REGION SATURDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...AND PERHAPS ANOTHER STORM WILL HIT FOR MID-
WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT/...
THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE STORM WILL LOWER AND THICKEN THROUGH THIS
EVENING WITH NO PCPN EXPECTED BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MIDNIGHT THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF WINTER STORMS...THIS ONE CURRENTLY OVER
THE SW U.S...WILL AFFECT CENTRAL PA ON FRIDAY. SPREADING FROM WEST
TO EAST...SNOW WILL START IN MOST PLACES BEFORE DAY BREAK FRIDAY.
FROM INTESTATE 80 NORTH TO THE NEW YORK STATE BORDER PCPN IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN MOSTLY AS SNOW. SOUTH OF I-80 TO THE PA
TURNPIKE...SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE BEFORE MIXING
WITH AND CHANGING TO FREEZING RAIN...RAIN AND SOME SLEET DURING
THE LATE MORNING AND AFTN HOURS. FROM THE TURNPIKE SOUTH TO THE
MARYLAND BORDER...SNOW/FZRA WILL QUICKLY CHANGE TO MOSTLY RAIN.

MODELS HAVE REMAINED IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF
THE SYSTEM...TAKING THE STORM ACROSS PA. LATEST SREF PLUMES AND
BUFKIT DATA SUGGEST THIS CURRENT TRACK WILL INTRODUCE ENOUGH WARM AIR
SOUTH OF I-80 TO LIMIT SNOW ACCUMS. ADDITIONALLY...CLOUDS
TODAY...THICKENING THIS EVENING WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM DROPPING TOO
FAR OVERNIGHT...THUS ALSO LIMITING ICE POTENTIAL OVER SRN
SECTIONS.

WILL UPGRADE CURRENT WATCHES TO WINTER STORM WARNINGS STARTING 09Z
IN THE WEST AND 12Z IN THE EAST. WILL ALSO ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY IN REMAINDER OF SRN COUNTIES WITH SIMILAR START TIMES
WEST TO EAST. CONTEMPLATED GOING WITH A WARNING FOR THE LAUREL
HIGHLANDS...CAMBRIA AND SOMERSET COUNTIES...WITH POTENTIAL FOR SIG
ICING...BUT BELIEVE ENOUGH WARM AIR WILL PREVAIL TO KEEP AVISORY
CRITERIA.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LATEST GEFS INDICATES PRECIP WILL BE TAPERING OFF DURING SUNDAY AS
SFC LO PUSHES EAST OF PA. ENS MEAN 850/925MB TEMPS SUGGEST A CHANGE
TO RAIN IS LIKELY OVR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STATE. MOST ENS
MEMBERS TRACKING PRIMARY LO TO OUR WEST AND SECONDARY ALONG THE
MASON DIXON LINE. THUS...EVEN NORTHERN PA MAY BECOME TOO WARM ALOFT
TO SUPPORT ALL SNOW. ALTHOUGH DETAILS W/REGARD TO EXACT TRACK AND
PRECIP TYPES REMAIN UNCERTAIN EARLY SUNDAY...ENS DATA SUPPORTS HIGH
CONFIDENCE OF COLD AND BLUSTERY CONDS IN WAKE OF THIS STORM EARLY
NEXT WEEK. GEFS MEAN 850T ON MONDAY ONLY ARND -17C...INDICATING
PERHAPS THE COLDEST DAY OF THE SEASON...WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE
ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY NW WINDS.

A PERIOD OF LE SNOW OVR THE ALLEGHENIES ON MONDAY SHOULD TAPER OFF
BY TUESDAY AS SFC HI BUILDS OVR THE REGION. NEXT STORM SYSTEM MAY
AFFECT PA BY WED OF NEXT WEEK. LATEST NAEFS DATA SUGGESTS MOST
LIKELY TRACK OF SFC LOW WILL BE TO OUR WEST. HOWEVER...ENOUGH COLD
AIR MAY BE PRESENT INITIALLY FOR SNOW.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MOST AIRFIELDS HAVE GONE DOWN TO MVFR CEILINGS AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
IS ON THE INCREASE. WILL BE A TOUGH CALL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON AND THE FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT AS TO WHETHER THE CLOUDS
HANG TOUGH OR BREAK FOR VFR CONDITIONS. CURRENTLY THINK MOST AREAS
WILL STAY WITH THE LOW OVERCAST... ALTHOUGH SOME BREAKS TO VFR WILL
BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT.

LATER TONIGHT OUR NEXT STORM APPROACHES BRINGING A MIX OF PRECIP
AND BAD FLYING WEATHER. PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO QUICKLY OVERSPREAD
THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST AROUND 12Z TOM. EXPECT SNOW ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND NORTH AND RAIN BEGINNING AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF SLEET OR
FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTH. THE PRECIP WILL TRANSITION TO
MAINLY SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE WEST AND CENTRAL AND
ONLY REMAIN ALL SNOW/SLEET IN THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE AREA FROM
IPT NORTH AND EAST. EITHER WAY CEILINGS SHOULD LOWER TO AT LEAST IFR
TOM MORNING AND VISIBILITIES SHOULD DROP TO 2 MILES OR LESS MAKING
FOR POOR FLYING WEATHER. THE HEAVIEST OF THE PRECIP MOVES THROUGH
FROM ABOUT 8AM- 3PM WITH MOST PRECIP ENDING BY 4PM. HOWEVER SOME
LIGHT SNOW MAY LINGER ACROSS THE EAST AND NORTH THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL HANG TOUGH FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...
SO EVEN THOUGH WE WILL BE DRY CEILINGS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MVFR TO
IFR RANGE THROUGH THIS PERIOD. THIS REDUCED FLYING WEATHER WILL
CONTINUE RIGHT UP UNTIL OUR NEXT STORM APPROACHES ON SAT NIGHT. THIS
STORM WILL BRING ANOTHER MIX OF SNOW...SLEET... AND FREEZING RAIN
ACROSS THE AREA. AFTER THIS STORM A LAKE-EFFECT PATTERN LOOKS TO SET
UP FOR LATER SUNDAY BRINING MVFR CEILINGS TO MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND
WESTERN AREAS. A HIGH LOOKS TO BUILD IN FOR LATER MONDAY BRINGING
IMPROVING CONDITIONS INTO THE FIRST HALF OF TUESDAY. BY LATER
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY ANOTHER STORM BRINGS YET ANOTHER WINTRY MIX
OF PRECIP AND POOR FLYING WEATHER.
