AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
331 PM EDT TUE MAY 17 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEP UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY NORTHWARD OVER
THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF CLOUDY AND COOLER WEATHER WITH
PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN STREAMING NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE OUT TO SEA
BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO MODERATING
TEMPERATURES AND IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR THE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
DEEP MOISTURE AND LAYERED CLOUDS BLANKETED ALL OF CENTRAL PENN AT
MID AFTERNOON...WITH RAINFALL CONFINED MAINLY ACROSS THE NW HALF
OF THE CWA. A STATIONARY FRONT JUST SOUTH OF THE MASON DIXON
LINE SHOULD LIFT A LITTLE MORE TO THE NORTH THROUGH THIS
EVENING...BASED ON THE LATEST HRRR'S MIXED LAYER CAPED QUICKLY
CLIMBING TO 1000-1500 J/KG BETWEEN 20-23Z TODAY. THIS MAY BE A
BIT OVERDONE...CONSIDERING THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE THICKER CLOUDS
WAS STILL A FEW LAYERS OF COUNTIES SOUTH OF THE MASON DIXON LINE
AT 1830Z.

HEAVIEST RAIN THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
TIER COUNTIES OF PENN...BEFORE PIVOTING MORE NORTH AND EAST LATE
TONIGHT. HOURLY RAINFALL RATES IN THE BRIEFLY TRAINING BANDS OF
HEAVIER SHOWERS /AND POTENTIALLY LOW-TOPPED TSRA/ WILL BE BETWEEN
0.50-1.00 INCH.

SPC DAY 1 SLIGHT RISK OUTLOOK COVERS SEVERE COUNTIES IN SCENT
PENN...AND WE'LL BE WATCHING THE NWD PROGRESSION OF STORMS FROM
NRN VA DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS THIS AREA NEAR AND JUST
NORTH OF THE BLYR WARM FRONT IS CONDUCIVE TO BRIEF SUPERCELL
STRUCTURE.

LATE AFTERNOON TEMPS RANGING FROM THE LOWER TO MID 50S ACROSS THE
NW MTNS...TO THE LOWER AND MID 60S IN THE FAR SE...WILL ONLY DROP
3-5 DEG F OVERNIGHT BASED ON THE VERY TIGHT T/TD SPREAD OF JUST
1-2 DEG F...AND EXTENSIVE THICK CLOUD COVER.

MOST PLACES OVERNIGHT WILL SEE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AVERAGING
BETWEEN 3 AND 6 TENTHS OF AN INCH...BUT LOCALLY OVER AN INCH IS
POSSIBLE FROM THE LOWER SUSQ VALLEY...NWWD TO NEAR KUNV.

THIS PERSISTENT RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO PRIME THE GROUND FOR
EFFICIENT RUNOFF INTO STREAMS AND CREEKS....SOME OF WHICH WILL
APPROACH FLOOD STAGE LATER WED INTO THURSDAY ACROSS THE LOWER SUSQ
VALLEY AND ADJACENT PART OF SCENT PENN/AND THE SOUTHERN POCONOS.

FLOOD WATCH /ISSUED LATE THIS MORNING/ FOR THE REGION NEAR AND TO
THE SE OF INTERSTATE CONTINUES TO LOOK IN GOOD SHAPE FOR LATE
TODAY THROUGH WED EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
THE CUTOFF LOW IS FCST TO WOBBLE NWWD ACROSS THE CENTRAL
WEDNESDAY WITH SEVERAL SPOKES OF UPPER ENERGY LIFTING NORTH AND
NWWD ON ITS EAST SIDE...BRINGING BANDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD TO HALF OF THE CWA.

VERY SIMILAR CONDITIONS /COMPARED TO TODAY/ EXPECTED WEDNESDAY IN
THE TEMP/POP AND WIND DEPT. QUITE OBVIOUSLY...THE EXACT
DISTRIBUTION OF HEAVIER BANDS OF RAINFALL WILL LIKELY BE THE MAIN
DIFFERENCE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN ATTM...AS THIS TYPE OF
SLOW MOVING CUTOFF RESEMBLES THE PRECIP PATTERN ASSOCIATED WITH A
SLOWLY DISSIPATING SUMMER-TIME TROPICAL SYSTEM.

THE HEAVIEST STORM TOTAL RNFL IS STILL EXPECTED TO FALL OVR THE
SE AND ECENT MTNS WITH 48 HOUR STORM TOTAL BASIN-AVG QPF BETWEEN
1.5 AND 3.00 INCHES. LESSER AMTS /BY NEARLY ONE INCH/ ARE FCST
FARTHER TO THE NW.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES FOR MIDWEEK...THOUGH MODELS
CONTINUE TO HAVE A GOOD GRASP ON MAIN FEATURES LEADING TO A HIGHER
CONFIDENCE FORECAST INTO SAT.

LARGE AND STUBBORN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF
THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE COUNTRY THROUGH FRIDAY...AS IT
SHIFTS SLOWLY NORTH INTO THE UPPER OH VLY THUR AND THEN EAST TWD
THE MID ATLC COAST. PERSISTENT HI MSTR FLUX INTO ERN/NERN PA VIA
DEEP/VERY MOIST SELY FLOW SUGGESTS ANOTHER BROAD AREA OF 0.50 TO 1
INCH QPF OVR 24 HRS ENDING 12Z THUR.

COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL BRING A DIURNAL INCREASE IN MORE SHOWERY
PRECIPITATION ON THU...WITH A SCT TSTM POSSIBLE. ANY HEAVIER
SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL STILL HAVE VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL GIVEN HIGH
DEEP LAYER RH/S AND PWS.

SLOWLY DIGGING /AND SLIGHTLY RETROGRADING/ TROUGHING ACROSS
EASTERN AND CENTRAL CANADA SHOULD ESCORT THE ERN CLOSED LOW OUT
TO SEA BY SUN...WHICH THE GUIDANCE GENERALLY AGREES UPON. THOUGH A
FEW SHOWERS COULD LINGER FRI AND SAT...MAINLY IN THE EAST. AN
AMPLIFIED UPPER RIDGE SHOULD FOLLOW BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ACCOMPANIED BY MODERATING TEMPERATURES AND
MAINLY DRY CONDS. RIDGE FLATTENS THROUGH MIDWEEK AS SW FLOW
DEVELOPS AHEAD OF WAVE PUSHING EWD FROM THE PLAINS STATES.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A NEARLY STATIONARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SOUTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WILL
COMBINE WITH A DEEP EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW OF MOITS AIR OFF THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC TO PRODUCE POOR FLYING CONDS ACROSS MOST OF
CENTRAL PA THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK. WIDESPREAD IFR/MVFR CONDS
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH LATE TODAY/TONIGHT WITH PERIODS OF RAIN /SOME
MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES/.

TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE AS FAR NORTH AS A LINE FROM KJST TO
KAOO...KMDT AND KMUI LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING.

LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WAS INCLUDED AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH ABOUT
THE FIRST HALF OF TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...
WED/WED NIGHT...RAIN WITH IFR/LIFR CIGS...AND MVFR TO IFR VSBYS LIKELY.
THU- FRI...SCT PM TSRA POSSIBLE.
SAT AND SUN...NO SIG WX EXPECTED.
