AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
728 AM EST SUN MAR 1 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL CONSOLIDATE OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES
TODAY...GATHERING INTO A SIGNIFICANT COASTAL STORM. THE STORM WILL
BRING MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW UP INTO EASTERN PA TONIGHT AND MONDAY
MORNING. A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SETTLE IN FROM THE NORTHERN
PLAINS FOR THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK...PROVIDING
MAINLY DRY WEATHER BUT ALSO UNSEASONABLY COLD TEMPERATURES. A
GRADUAL MODERATING TREND APPEARS IN STORE BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL NOON TODAY/...
DRY AIR HAS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE PRECIP TO GET TO THE
SFC IN THE SOUTH...BUT IT HAS MADE SOME SNOW AT KTHV IN THE LAST
HR. EXPECT ONLY LIGHT SNOW OR SLEET MIX TO OCCUR THIS
MORNING IN THE SRN TIER - ESP EAST OF CHAMBERSBURG. THIS STUFF
SHOULD JUST BE A NUISANCE...AND ONLY A DUSTING POSSIBLE THERE.
THE OTHER 3/4 OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE FAIR WITH THE MID/HIGH
CLOUDS THINNING A BIT THROUGH NOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /NOON TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TEMPS TODAY ARE MORE CHALLENGING THAN I EXPECTED...WITH CLOUDS AND
SOME LIGHT PRECIP IN THE SOUTH ATTM BUT THE CLOUDS MAY THIN OUT A
BIT THIS AFTN...AND ALLOW MORE SUN IN. THE NRN TIER MAY END UP
BEING JUST AS MILD AS THE SE IF THE CLOUDS HANG ON IN THE SE
LONGER THAN EXPECTED OR JUST STAY THICKER LONGER. THUS...WILL MAKE
THE MAXES MORE HOMOGENEOUS OVERALL...ABOUT 5F EITHER SIDE OF
FREEZING.

THE CLOUDS GET THICKER AGAIN FROM THE S BY LATE AFTN AND EARLY
EVENING. THE NW COULD STAY CLEAR WHILE THE REST OF THE AREA GOES
CLOUDY. THEN...THE PRECIP BEGINS. IT SHOULD ALL BE SNOW...AS THE
FCST SOUNDINGS HAVE BECOME DECIDEDLY COLDER THROUGH TIME/DURING
THE LAST 48 HRS OF MDL RUNS AT LEAST. NO WARM LAYER ALOFT IS
RATHER UNUSUAL FOR ANY STORM THAT AFFECTS PA DURING THE MONTH OF
MARCH. BUT THE HIGH TO OUR NORTH IS SUPPLYING VERY COLD AIR AND
THE ZERO LINE AT 8H IS STICKING ALONG THE NJ SHORELINE. THE SFC
LOW PASSES RIGHT OVER KHAT DURING THE EVENING...AND FOLLOWS THE
GULF STREAM FOR THE MOST PART BUT STAYS TANTALIZINGLY CLOSE TO
NANTUCKET/CAPE COD AS IT GOES TO THE NE. BRIEFLY COUPLED JET
STRUCTURE AND AN UPPER TROF THAT STARTS TO GO A LITTLE NEG TILT
AS IT GETS TO THE LOCAL AREA WILL PUT SOME DEFORMATION ZONE SNOW
OVER ERN PA DURING THE PRE-DAWN TO RUSH HOUR/S OF MONDAY MORNING.

THE 8H LOW STAYS TO OUR EAST AND MOISTURE WILL BE TOUGH TO FIND
THE FARTHER WEST YOU GO. WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY SNOW SO
CLOSE WILL TAKE A SMALL STEP TO POST A WINTER STORM WATCH...BUT
JUST FOR THE FAR SERN COS. IT WILL PROVIDE A CLOSE CALL FOR MUCH
OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY THE HARRISBURG METRO AREA. HARRISBURG
ITSELF AND PLACES JUST TO THE NW OF THEM COULD GET ADVSRY
SNOWS...BUT THE GRADIENT FROM HEAVY SNOW TO ALMOST NO SNOW WILL
BE VERY TIGHT...AND STATE COLLEGE...ALTOONA AND WILLIAMSPORT MAY
NOT GET MORE THAN A DUSTING. SERN YORK COUNTY COULD ALSO GET THE
HEAVY SNOW AS THE STRIPE OF BEST SNOW WILL MOST LIKELY BE IN A SW-
NE ORIENTATION FROM DC TO PHL TO NYC.

MONDAY LOOKS PRETTY COLD WITH CLOUDS AND SNOW IN THE EAST EARLY.
8H TEMPS DROP INTO THE -20C RANGE AS THE STORM PULLS AWAY TO THE
NE ON MONDAY. N-S DEFORMATION BANDS PERHAPS LINGER INTO THE
AFTERNOON IN THE FAR EAST. OTHERWISE...IT WILL THEN JUST GET COLD
WITHOUT THE CLOUDS AND MOISTURE MON NIGHT AND TUES. HAVE GONE FOR
TEMPS AT OR BELOW MAV GUID FOR THOSE TIMES.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HEIGHTS BEGIN TO INCREASE TUE THRU WED NGT ALONG WITH A DRY
AIRMASS...EXPECT FEW CLOUDS. THERMAL RIDGE IN MID-LVLS ARRIVES
WITH A FRONTAL BNDRY EARLY THUR...WITH NEXT CHC OF PRECIP ARRIVING
THUR/FRI. CONFIDENCE IS LOWER IN THE LATER PERIODS...HOWEVER
APPEARS ANY SFC VORTS WILL TRACK ACROSS GREAT LAKES WITH A
PERSISTENT SW FLOW. ATTM THE QUESTION IN THE LATER PERIODS REVOLVE
AROUND LLVL MOISTURE WHICH WILL RESULT IN HOW COOL/WARM SFC TEMPS
WILL BE FRI/SAT.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR FLYING WILL CONT THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS AND A
LULL IN THE COASTAL STORM OCCURS. LIGHT SNOW WILL RETURN TO
MAINLY SOUTHERN AIRFIELDS LATER THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT AS A
SECONDARY SFC LOW MOVES UP THE COAST. MVFR/IFR CONDS IN WINTRY
PCPN WILL BE PSBL TONIGHT ALONG AND S/E OF A JST/UNV/IPT LINE
WITH HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN LOWERED CIG/VIS RESTRICTIONS OVER THE
SERN LWR SUSQ VLY AIRFIELDS.

NORTHEAST TO EAST SFC WINDS OF 5-10 KT WILL OCCUR
OVERNIGHT...BEFORE BACKING MORE TO THE NORTH AND INCREASING
TO 10-15KT LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS AROUND 25 KTS
POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
