AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
649 PM EST FRI JAN 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL SWING TO THE SOUTH OF THE STATE LATE TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY. LIGHT SNOW IS ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE AREA
LATER TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD OVER THE
MIDWEST AND UPPER GREAT LAKES...CREATING A NORTHWEST FLOW. LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED FOR LATER SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT. ANOTHER WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE FOR THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
WEAK SUBSIDENCE AND LOSS OF HEATING THIS EVENING WILL BRING AN END
TO MOST OF THE CELLULAR SHSN/FLURRIES. UPSLOPE DOES NOT STOP OVER
THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS...BUT LESS MOISTURE AVAILABLE THIS EVENING
WITH FLOW FROM THE OHIO VALLEY AND NOT SO MUCH OFF THE LAKES.
NEVERTHELESS...WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY LIGHT SHSN IN THE GRIDS FOR
THAT AREA THROUGH THE EVENING...THEN RAMP UP MENTIONS AND ACCUMS
AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN UPPER LOW OVER LWR MI WOBBLES SOUTHWARD AND A
SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVE TROUGH WITH POTENT VORT MAX ROLLS ACROSS
SWRN PA LATE TONIGHT AND SWINGS ALONG/JUST SOUTH OF PA/MD LINE
THROUGH THE DAY. BUFKIT PROFILES AND NAM CROSS SECTIONS PORTRAY A
FANTASTIC BULLSEYE OF UPWARD VELOCITY/OMEGA IN THE MOIST -10C TO
-15C AIR ALOFT. THIS SHOULD PRODUCE ANOTHER VERY FLUFFY/LOW-WATER
CONTENT SNOWFALL. THE TIMING BY THE MESO MDLS CREATES A FIRST SHOT
OF SNOW AND MOVES IT INTO THE SWRN COS AROUND OR JUST AFT
MIDNIGHT. A LULL MAY THEN BE FOLLOWED BY ADDITIONAL SHOTS OF
ENERGY ALL TEAMED WITH THE CONSTANT UPSLOPE FLOW. THIS HAS
PROMPTED A WINT WX ADVY FOR THE LAURELS AS 2-4 INCH AMOUNTS
EXPECTED WITH 20:1 RATIOS EVEN WITH VERY LIMITED MOISTURE.

INITIAL CLEARING COULD ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS
IN AND LOWER TEENS ELSEWHERE. TEMPS MAY RISE BY MORNING - ESP IN
THE SW WITH THE THICKENING/LOWERING CLOUDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SNOW ONGOING IN THE SC IN THE EARLY MORNING WILL BE SLIDING EAST
THROUGH THE DAY...AND ANOTHER GENERALLY LIGHT SNOWFALL OF AROUND 2
INCHES IS EXPECTED FOR THE SRN HALF OF THE AREA BY LATE SAT - WITH
THE 2-4 IN THE LAURELS. WHILE THE UPPER LOW IS DIRECTLY OVERHEAD
DURING THE DAY...CELLULAR/CONV NATURE OF THE SNOW IN THE DAYLIGHT
AND LOW-WATER CONTENT OF THE SNOW MAY MAKE ACCUMS INEFFICIENT. WITH
THESE POINTS AND AMOUNTS IN MIND...WILL HOLD OFF ON AN ADVY FOR
MOST OF THE AREA - JUST THE LAURELS WHICH WILL RUN MOST OF THE DAY.
DYNAMICS/TRACK OF THE LOW AND LOW MOISTURE AVAILABILITY WILL KEEP
ACCUMS VERY MINOR N OF I-80. MAX TEMPS WILL BE A BLEND OF BIAS
CORRECTED NUMBERS...WHICH ARE NOT FAR FROM MOS GUID.

SHSN GET CONFINED TO THE LAKES AND WEST-FACING SLOPES OF THE
HIGHER ELEVS IN THE SW SAT NIGHT. CLEARING LIKELY IN THE SE. LAKE
EFF SN MAY BECOME HEAVY BUT A SHORT-FETCH IS ALSO POSSIBLE...WHICH
WOULD CONFINE THE WORST TO NW WARREN CO.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE NW FLOW PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES...ACCUMULATING SNOW OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN
MOUNTAINS...AND SCATTERED FLURRIES OR LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
ELSEWHERE.

SNOW SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVER THE MOUNTAINS SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH QUIET WEATHER ELSEWHERE AS CENTER OF LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH PULLS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES.
THE NEXT STORM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS ON MONDAY AND
MOVE TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST ON TUESDAY. MODELS STILL
PUSHING THE STORM MORE EAST THAN NORTHWARD...SO MAIN SURFACE LOW
STILL HEADS ACROSS THE CAROLINAS AND OFF THE EAST COAST AS IT
TURNS NE. UPPER TROUGH DOES SLIDE OVER PA TUE INTO WED
THOUGH...WHICH WILL LIKELY BRING A LIGHT SNOWFALL TO PA DURING
THAT PERIOD.

ONCE THAT SLIDES BY...NW FLOW AND SCT SNOW SHOWERS RETURN TO
HIGHER ELEVATIONS FOR REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE
GRADUALLY BUILDS IN FROM THE OHIO VALLEY.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A LOW PRES SYSTEM OVER THE GRT LKS WILL TRACK SOUTHEAST ACROSS
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SAT...BRINGING A
PERIOD LGT SNOW TO THE REGION. UPSTREAM OBS ALREADY SHOWING IFR
VSBYS ACROSS EASTERN OHIO AND WEST VIRGINIA...WHICH SHOULD
REACH JST THIS EVENING...THEN SPREAD NE OVER THE REMAINDER OF
CENTRAL PA LATE TONIGHT. BFD AND IPT WILL BE NEAR THE NORTHERN
FRINGE OF STEADIEST SNOW...SO SOME UNCERTAINTY WHETHER VSBYS WILL
REACH IFR THAT FAR NORTH. HOWEVER...LATEST SREF DATA SUGGEST A
HIGH PROBABILITY OF IFR VSBYS BY LATE TONIGHT FROM UNV AND MDT
SOUTHWARD.

IMPROVING FLYING CONDS EXPECTED SAT AFTN...AS LO PRES SYSTEM
PASSES EAST OF PA AND DRIER WESTERLY FLOW OVERSPREADS THE REGION.
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL PRODUCE PREDOMINANTLY MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS AT BFD/JST SAT NIGHT...WHILE DRYING/DOWNSLOPING FLOW
RESULTS IN PREDOMINANTLY VFR CONDS FURTHER EAST.

OUTLOOK...
