The radar

The Pittsburgh radar (KPBZ), 115 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:56 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 9, 5:03 PM EDT, 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 5:03 PM EDT, 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
503 PM EDT THU JUN 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY A COLD FRONT ACROSS
CENTRAL AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING. THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL NEAR OR SOUTH OF THE MASON
DIXON LINE TONIGHT BEFORE LIFTING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE
COMMONWEALTH ON SUNDAY. UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND WITH DRIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS BEHIND THE
FRONT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...

UPDATE TO CANCEL THE NW PORTION OF SVR TSTM WATCH #451. RECENT
RADAR TRENDS ARE DEPICTING MORE ISOLD TSTMS DEVELOPING FM THE
SCNTRL MTNS ENEWD INTO THE MID-LWR SUSQ VLY. EXPECT THE MAIN SVR
WX THREAT TO SHIFT INTO THESE AREAS OVER THE NEXT 1-3 HRS.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #451 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 00Z AND
INCLUDES ALL CENTRAL PA COUNTIES EXCEPT FOR WARREN. THE LATEST
OBSERVATIONAL DATA INDICATES THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH OR COLD
FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS PUSHED SEWD ACRS THE NW MTNS WITH CURRENT
RADAR TRENDS AND FUTURE STORM INITIATION EXPECTED MAINLY SE OF
DUJ-ELM LINE. THIS BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN THE FOCUS FOR NUMEROUS
STRONG TO SEVERE TSTMS AS IT CONTINUES TO PUSH SEWD OVER THE CNTRL
MTNS AND MID-LWR SUSQ VLY THROUGH THE LATE AFTN AND EVENING HOURS.
SPC 1630Z MODERATE RISK OUTLOOK IS WELL-PLACED COVERING THE CNTRL
2/3RDS OF MY CWA. VERY STRONG DIURNAL HEATING OF A VERY MOIST
/65-70 DEWPOINT/ AIRMASS WITH WIDESPREAD TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW
TO MID 90S HAS RESULTED IN VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND ABUNDANT
INSTABILITY. AS STORMS APPEAR TO BE EVOLVING INTO LINE
SEGMENTS...DMGG WNDS STILL APPEAR TO BE THE MAIN THREAT. HOWEVER
LARGE HAIL IS POSSIBLE BUT WILL BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED BY HIGH
ENVIRONMENTAL FGZ LEVELS AROUND 15KFT. AWIPS HAIL ALGORITHMS
SUGGEST 50DBZ CORES WILL NEED TO EXCEED OVER 35KFT FOR QUARTER
SIZE/1 INCH SVR HAIL. CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT SEWD INTO
TONIGHT AWAY FROM THE BEST SHEAR. THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND
WEAKER FLOW SUGGESTS A MORE ISOLATED SVR POTENTIAL SOUTH OF THE PA
TURNPIKE.

HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTL 00Z FOR THE LWR SUSQ VLY
CNTYS. CURRENT HX VALUES ARE GENERALLY BTWN 98-102F.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT PUSH S OF THE MASON DIXON LINE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
FRI MORNING...BUT FLOW ALOFT GOES NEARLY ZONAL WHICH WILL ALLOW
THE BOUNDARY TO BECOME QSTNRY. THE FRONTAL ZONE WILL PIVOT AND
BEGIN TO RETURN NWD AS A WARM FNT THROUGH FRIDAY AS SFC RIDGE AXIS
SLIDES EWD INTO NEW ENGLAND AND WK FNTL WAVE OF LOW PRES MOVES ENE
FROM THE MID MS VLY INTO THE SRN GRT LKS. COOL/STABLE AIR WILL
RESIDE N OF THE WARM FNT OVR THE NRN 1/2 OF THE CWA TOMORROW WITH
THE BEST CHC OF A SHOWER TO TSTM ACRS SW AND SCNTRL MTNS IN THE
WARM SECTOR.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WARM FNT WILL PUSH CONTINUE TO LIFT NEWD FRIDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY SATURDAY AS SWLY FLOW INCREASES AHEAD OF COLD FNT TRAILING
BEHIND ERN GRT LKS LOW PRES. SCATTERED TSTMS SHOULD DEVELOP
ALONG/AHEAD OF SFC COLD FRONT FROM LATE SAT MORNING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON...MOVING EWD ACROSS REGION. SPC DY3 SLGT RISK
OUTLOOKS THE WESTERN 2/3 OF THE AREA FOR POTENTIAL SVR WITH THE
PRIMARY THREAT BEING DAMAGING GUSTS. RELATIVELY BACKED SFC FLOW
INVOF THE RETREATING/PSEUDO WARM FRONT ALSO WILL LEAD TO ENHANCED
LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS/SRH AND STORM-RELATIVE BOUNDARY-LAYER WINDS
IN THAT AREA. AS SUCH...ANY RELATIVELY DISCRETE CONVECTION MAY
BECOME SUPERCELLULAR. DEEP-LAYER FLOW WILL BE MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL
FARTHER SW IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH MULTICELL BANDS/CLUSTERS
POSSIBLE. LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO REFINE POPS TO COINCIDE WITH
THE MAIN THREAT AREAS. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD CROSS THE
COMMONWEALTH SUNDAY MORNING. PRECIP CHANCES AND DEWPOINTS WILL
DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE WAKE OF THE CFROPA DURING THE
DAY SUNDAY WITH MUCH DRIER...LESS HUMID AIR DIRECTED INTO THE
REGION BEHIND A GUSTY NLY WND.

EARLY NEXT WEEK LOOKS COOL AND MAINLY DRY WITH NW FLOW ALOFT BUT
WILL NEED TO WATCH UPPER TROUGH DIGGING THROUGH THE NORTHEAST
STATES. UPPER RIDGE SHOULD ARRIVE BY LATE TUE/WED ACCOMPANIED BY
HOT/HUMID CONDS. THE NEXT CHC OF RAIN SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTL LATE
NEXT WEEK AS SFC HIGH MOVES OFF THE COAST AND FNTL SYS APPROACHES
FROM THE MIDWEST.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MVFR HZ FROM EARLIER TODAY HAS DISSIPATED ACROSS THE REGION AS OF
THE 18Z ISSUANCE. THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY WILL
BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDELY SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA AHEAD OF AN
ADVANCING COLD FRONT. STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE IN THE FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS PROVIDED BY THE WARM AND HIGHLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS.
TSTMS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER AS
OF 18Z AND WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH 03Z.

AFTER THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH TONIGHT...MVFR/IFR BR AND HZ IS EXPECTED
TO RETURN TO MUCH OF THE REGION. ISOLATED CASES OF LIFR CEILINGS
ARE ALSO POSSIBLE BEFORE 12Z. HAZE WILL LINGER ACROSS MUCH OF THE
STATE ONCE AGAIN...ESPECIALLY WHERE RAIN FALLS THIS AFTERNOON.
UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO RETURN TOMORROW
AFTERNOON...REMAINING IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF THE WEEKEND.

OUTLOOK...
THU NIGHT...MVFR NW / VFR SE. TSTMS LIKELY...REDUCING CIGS/VSBYS.
FRI-SUN...PRIMARILY VFR. SCT SHRA/TSRA WITH LOCAL RESTRICTIONS.
MON-TUE...MAINLY VFR.
