AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
308 AM EST FRI MAR 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LARGE/LONG-DURATION STORM WILL MOVE UP INTO THE REGION FROM THE
SOUTH/WEST LATER TODAY AND LAST INTO SUNDAY MORNING. HEAVY SNOW IS
POSSIBLE FOR THE NW WITH RAIN AND FLOODING POSSIBLE IN THE
SOUTH/EAST. MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL BE ACROSS THE REGION ON
SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY MODIFY EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS. SOME PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER
NEXT WEEK...AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES EASTWARD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
BIG STORM DEVELOPING RIGHT ALONG THE GULF COAST STATES EARLY THIS
MORNING WILL BE ACCELERATING NE DURING THE DAY. SKIES CLEAR RIGHT
NOW...BUT HIGH CLOUDS SHOULD INCREASE RAPIDLY BEFORE SUNRISE AND
CLOUDS WILL GET THICK AROUND 18Z IN THE FAR WEST AND BY SUNSET
ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA. REALLY GOOD LIFT AND ERLY FLOW WILL
TRANSPORT MOISTURE IN FROM THE ATLANTIC AND GIVE AN INITIAL SHOT
AT PRECIP STARTING LATER THIS AFTN. MOSTLY LIQUID STUFF FOR THE SE
TWO-THIRDS OF THE CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SEE HYDRO SECTION FOR MORE ON FLOOD WATCH.

PRECIP WILL COME IN TWO WAVES...ONE THIS AFTN/EVE WITH A LITTLE
BREAK TONIGHT. QPF MAY NEAR AN INCH IN THE EAST...WITH A HALF INCH
THE MAX IN THE WEST. DURING SOME OF THE LULL/BREAK TONIGHT WE COULD
HAVE SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE...ESP IN THE ZONES BETWEEN UNV AND
BFD. FOR THIS AND OTHER REASONS...WILL POST AN ADVSRY FOR THERE.
THE SECOND SLUG OF PRECIP WILL BE A LITTLE COLDER ON THE WHOLE ON
SAT...BUT SIMILAR QPF TO TODAY...WITH SNOW EXPECTED TO REACH
FURTHER EAST/SOUTH...ESP INTO THE LAURELS AND MAYBE THE CENTRAL
MTNS.

WHILE THE SNOW ACCUMS IN THE NORTHWEST...AND THE MIX IN BETWEEN...
MAY NOT BE SIGNIFICANT THIS AFTN/EVENING -- BUT SINCE IT IS
STARTING THIS AFTN/EVENING...WILL START THE WINTER WEATHER FLAGS
DURING THIS TIME AS WELL. INITIAL P-TYPE IN THE ADVISORY AREA FROM
LAURELS THRU CLEARFIELD AND UP TO TIOGA COUNTY WILL BE MAINLY
RAIN...BUT GO TO MIXED PRECIP TONIGHT. THREAT FOR FREEZING RAIN
ACCUMS IS THE MAIN REASON FOR AN ADVISORY HERE...BUT SOME PLACES
IN THE ADVSRY AREA COULD PICK UP 3-5 INCHES OF SNOW BY END OF SAT
NIGHT. THE WINTER STORM WARNING WILL COVER MOST OF THE CURRENT
WATCH AREA. WE EXPECT THE LONG DURATION OF PRECIP TO PRODUCE OVER
A FOOT OF SNOW IN THE FAR NW...WITH 6-12 IN MUCH OF THE WARNING
AREA. WHILE NO 12 HR PERIOD MAY TOP 6 INCHES...THE SAT AFTN-
EVENING PERIOD WILL HOLD THE HEAVIEST SNOW FOR THIS STORM UNDER A
DEFORMATION BAND.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
DIMINISHING SNOW SHOWERS LIKELY SUN MORNING AS SNOW SHOWERS UNDER
THE UPPER LO DECREASE. WINDS WILL REMAIN ON THE GUSTY SIDE INTO
SUNDAY.

OTHERWISE...MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS NEXT WEEK WITH A MODERATING
TREND. SOME SHOWERS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE WEEK WITH THE NEXT
FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CIRRUS/HIGH CLOUDS CONTINUE TO STREAM IN FM THE SW...AHEAD OF
DEV LOW PRES ALONG LA/TX COAST. EXPECT CIGS TO GRADUALLY
LOWER/THICKEN OVRNGT AS MOISTURE INCREASES IN ADVANCE OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED GULF COAST CYCLONE.

MINIMAL SPREAD IN TEMP/DEWPT AND NEAR CALM SFC CONDITIONS COUPLED
WITH RESIDUAL LL MOISTURE FROM SNOWMELT/RAINFALL...SHOULD ALLOW
FOR PATCHY MVFR TYPE FOG FOR ALL AIRFIELDS EXCEPT KJST.

CEILINGS WILL START TO DETERIORATE EARLY /TO MVFR/ FRIDAY ACROSS
THE NW AS LOW CLOUDS QUICKLY SNEAK NEWD ALONG/NORTH OF THE
INVERTED TROF AXIS. THE SFC LOW PRES SYS WILL TRACK NEWD FM THE
SRN APPALACHIANS AND INTO THE MID-ATLC BY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. A
GRADUAL SATURATION OF THE ATM COLUMN WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS WITH PCPN OVERSPREADING THE AREA FM SW TO NE BY THE
EARLY AFTN. PCPN SHOULD BE MAINLY SNOW AT BFD WITH A RA/SN MIX
PSBL AT JST. ELSEWHERE...-RA WILL INCREASE IN INTENSITY BY THE
LATE AFTN AND INTO THE EARLY EVE. WIDESPREAD IFR/MVFR LIKELY OVER
ALL TERMINALS BY THIS TIME. SFC WNDS ESE TO NNE 5-15KTS.

ONCE CIGS/VIS COME DOWN...AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF LESS THAN VFR
FLYING EXPECTED TO LAST INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. AS THE LOW PRES SYS
PULLS NEWD SAT NGT...XPECT RA TO CHANGEOVER TO WINTRY PCPN AS COLD
AIR WRAPS AROUND THE BACKSIDE. NNWLY WINDS SHOULD ALSO INC MAKING
FOR A RATHER BLUSTERY NIGHT. LOW CLOUDS/LINGERING -SHSN WILL LKLY
HANG IN ACROSS THE WRN MTNS INTO EARLY SUNDAY...BUT BRIEF IMPROVEMENT
LOOKS TO BE IN STORE WITH HIGH PRES MOVG IN. ANOTHER UPR LVL
WAVE/WEAK SFC CLIPPER-LIKE LOW IS FCST TO SWING THROUGH THE REGION ON
MONDAY WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME REDUCED CONDS AND PDS OF -SN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
DESPITE FALLING STAGES ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE LOWER MAIN STEM
SUSQ BASIN...THE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL EXPECTED THIS AFTN INTO SAT
NIGHT - MUCH OF WHICH SHOULD BE RAIN FOR THE SOUTH AND EAST HALF
OF THE AREA - SHOULD PUSH MANY OF THESE POINTS BACK NEAR OR OVER
FLOOD STAGES. THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE POINTS WILL BE THE LOWER SUSQ
TRIBUTARIES...BUT RECENT HEAVY RAIN HAS LEFT THE SOILS VERY WET
OVER THE SC MTNS AND CENTRAL MTNS...AND A LITLE SNOW STILL OUT
THERE TO MELT LOCALLY. SO WILL POST FLOOD WATCH FOR SE HALF.
