What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS State College, PA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Feb 11, 2:49 PM EST, 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 2:49 PM EST, 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 249 PM EST WED FEB 11 2009 .SYNOPSIS... A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSING TO OUR NORTH WILL PUSH A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH TONIGHT. A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR THIS EVENING AND EARLY TONIGHT. STRONG...GUSTY WINDS WILL FOLLOW THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE AND LAST MOST OF THURSDAY. MUCH MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WILL THEN OCCUR INTO THE WEEKEND. A WEAK UPPER LOW CAUGHT IN THE FAST WESTERLY FLOW WILL BRING A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW OR COLD RAIN ON SATURDAY...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTH. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... MAINLY DRY...AND UNSEASONABLY MILD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSES CENTRAL PA LATER TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD PASS THROUGH THE REGION BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z...MOVING VERY QUICKLY EASTWARD. THE N-S ORIENTATION OF THE FRONT AND THE VERY STRONG WSW FLOW THROUGH THE LOWEST 10-15KFT WILL ENSURE A BRIEF TIME FOR THE BEST INSTABILITY TO LINE UP WITH THE NARROW RIBBON OF HIGH MOISTURE OVER THE REGION. ALL THIS SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE LATE FOR THE BEST/DIURNAL INSTABILITY. STILL...THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR SOME SEVERE CONVECTION LATE THIS EVENING - MAINLY OVER OUR WRN COUNTIES. THE MORE-SURE THREAT IS FOR GRADIENT WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT TO GET CRANKING. DEEPENING SFC LOW WILL TRACK TO WEST OF PA THEN INTO WESTRN NY BY 12Z THUR. STRONG PRESSURE RISES KT LLJET WILL FOCUS STRONGEST WINDS OVER WESTERN CWA. WILL UPGRADE HIGH WIND WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR FAR WESTERN COUNTIES...FROM THE LAURELS NORTHWARD AND A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA. WITH PCPN CONFINED TO NEAR THE FRONT AND FAST MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT...STILL EXPECT LITTLE QPF /A QUARTER TO HALF INCH AT MOST/ WITH THE SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS EVENING...AS THE BEST MOISTURE IS HERE FOR ONLY A SHORT TIME...AND DRY SLOT WORKS IN QUICKLY. THE VERY WARM/NEAR RECORD TEMPS OCCURRING TODAY WILL FURTHER MELT AWAY OUR SNOW PACK - OR WHAT IS LEFT OF IT. THIS SHOULD LIMIT RISES ON THE WATERWAYS TO MINOR MOVEMENTS AT MOST. ANY LOCATIONS THAT ARE PRONE TO ICE JAMMING WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR PROBLEMS...BUT FLOWS ARE LOW AT THIS TIME...AND QPF NOT GOING TO PUT MUCH MORE INTO THE STREAMS. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... ENTIRE CWA WILL BE POST FRONTAL BY THUR MORNING WITH ONLY LINGERING SHOWER CONFINED TO AREAS DOWN WIND OF LAKE ERIE. EXPECT SOME SNOW TO MIX IN AFTER MIDNIGHT THERE...BUT NO ACCUMS EXPECTED BEFORE SUNRISE. TEMPS WILL PROBABLY BE AT THEIR HIGHEST THURSDAY MORNING. WILL CHANGE PRECIP TYPE TO MOSTLY SNOW IN THE NW AFTER SUNRISE...AND KEEP ACCUMS MINIMAL UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY AS TEMPS CONTINUE TO SLIDE. LITTLE/NO PRECIP WILL MAKE IT SE OF AOO/UNV/IPT THURSDAY. DISCUSSED POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADVISORY ACROSS NW COUNTIES WITH POSS SNOW ACCUMS OF 2-4 INCHES AND BLOWING SNOW...BUT WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW GIVEN MORE PRESSING WIND SITU...SMALL COVERAGE AREA OF PCPN AND THAT REGIONS FREQUENT EXPERIENCE WITH COUPLE INCH SNOW EVENTS. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... HIGH PRES WILL RETREAT NWD BY THE WEEKEND...AS IT APPEARS ANOTHER LOW PRES SYS SLIDES INTO THE OH/TN VLY. A CONSENSUS SOLUTION IS STILL NOT OFFERED BY AVAILABLE MODEL AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE FOR THE WEEKEND SYSTEM. THE GEFS IS ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE ENVELOPE OF SOLUTIONS. UNTIL BETTER AGREEMENT EMERGES...WILL CONTINUE CHC POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA FOR SAT. GEFS DATA SHOWS HIGH PRES RETURNING FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH HINTS OF ANOTHER SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. UNCERTAINTY REMAINS HIGH AND CONFIDENCE LOW BEYOND FRIDAY. && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... STRONG LOW MOVING NE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WILL PULL A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. FREQUENT RAIN SHOWERS WITH POSS SCT THUNDER WILL MOVE ACROSS AIR FIELDS THIS EVE...AFTER 00Z IN THE WEST...AFTER 02Z IN THE EAST. ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THUR.
