AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
748 PM EST THU FEB 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER TEXAS THIS MORNING WILL MOVE RAPIDLY NORTHEAST
AND THROUGH SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR RAIN OVER MOST OF THE AREA...WITH THE NORTHERN TIER
COUNTIES ALONG THE NY BORDER SEEING SNOW OR A WINTRY MIX.

PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF AS A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE FOR SATURDAY.

A WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL BRING LIGHT SNOW TO THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE STATE LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY BEFORE A STRONG FRONT
BRINGS ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
A COMPLEX WEATHER SYSTEM IS SET TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. THE
LEADING PART IS A COLD FRONT THAT WILL SAG INTO THE STATE AND
BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY OVER NRN AREAS TONIGHT...PAVING THE WAY
FOR A DEEPENING LOW THAT WILL TRACK INTO SOUTHWESTERN PARTS OF
THE STATE EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES CONTINUE TO AFFECT SOME AREAS
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WITH JUST NUISANCE AMOUNTS OF PRECIP IF ANY
AT ALL.

SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE AGREES THAT PRECIP WILL SPREAD FROM SW TO NE
AFTER 00Z WITH A PERIOD OF MDT-HVY RAIN FALLING FROM ROUGHLY
MIDNIGHT THROUGH MID OR LATE MORNING FRIDAY. A WIDE SWATH OF
PRECIP BETWEEN .75" AND 1.50" LOOKS LIKELY AND IS SUPPORTED BY
NEWEST OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE AS WELL AS THE ENSEMBLE PRODUCTS. RFC
GUIDANCE BRINGS A LARGE RISE OF SEVERAL FEET TO VIRTUALLY ALL OF
THE REGIONAL RIVERS AND STREAMS WITH SEVERAL POINTS FCST TO
APPROACH FLOOD STAGE GIVEN THE EXPECTED RAIN FALL. AS A RESULT
WILL BE EXPANDING THE EXISTING FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE ALL BUT THE
FAR NORTHERN SLICE OF COUNTIES WHERE PRECIP COULD VERY WELL BE
MOSTLY SNOW AND THERE IS MORE SNOW ON THE GROUND TO ABSORB ANY
RAIN THAT DOES FALL.

WHAT IS APPARENT IS THAT THERE WILL BE A TIGHT BAROCLINIC ZONE
SETTING UP OVER THE NRN PART OF THE STATE. SREF THREAT PAGES
SHOWS MY NORTHERN TIER MOST UNDER THE GUN FOR SNOW...BUT STILL
SHOWS AMOUNTS BELOW WARNING NUMBERS. OBJECTIVE NUMBERS FROM AWIPS
ALGORITHMS AND BUFKIT SHOW AMOUNTS EXCEEDING 6 INCHES. WITH
UNCERTAINTY STILL HIGH...WILL LEAVE THE WATCH IN PLACE UNTIL IT
BECOMES CLEARER WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK ACROSS THE THE SRN PART OF THE
STATE ESSENTIALLY FROM NEAR PIT TO THE POCONOS DURING THE
MORNING. WEATHER WILL BE VERY CHANGEABLE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS
THE DAY WEARS ON AND THE RAIN TRANSITIONS TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF
SNOW OVER MOST OF MY FCST AREA. AS MENTIONED EARLIER...THE
NORTHERN STRIPE OF COUNTIES NEAR THE NY BORDER ARE STILL UNDER THE
GUN FOR SEVERAL INCHES TO PERHAPS WARNING TYPE SNOWS. MY THINKING
FOR THE AREAS THAT WILL BE MOSTLY RAIN IS THAT THE PRECIP WILL BE
ENDING AS FAST AS THE COLD AIR MOVES IN...LEAVING JUST MINOR
AMOUNTS IF ANY IN THE TRANSITION.

HAVE A PLETHORA OF HEADLINES FOR THE DAY INCLUDING A HIGH WIND
WATCH FOR THE SERN 1/3 OR SO OF THE STATE. BOTH THE OPERATIONAL
GFS AND NAM BLOW UP A 22MB ISALLOBARIC RISE CENTER AND TRACK IT
RIGHT THRU CENTRAL PA IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS SHUD
SUPPORT STRONG WIND GUSTS BUT WILL NOT EXPAND THE WATCH AS YET
SINCE THE MODELS ALSO WANT TO DROP OFF THE WINDS FROM 700MB
DOWNWARD VERY QUICKLY. FEEL CONFIDENT THAT ADVISORY TYPE GUSTS ARE
A GOOD BET...BUT ITS HARD TO GET WIDESPREAD WARNING WINDS.

HIGH TEMPS FRIDAY WILL RANGE FROM NEAR FREEZING NORTH...TO NEAR 50
OVER THE SE. TEMPS WILL STEADILY FALL IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE LOW
DEPARTS TWD SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
STILL LOOKING AT SOME LIGHT SNOW LATE SAT ACROSS N PA...FOR NOW
LOOKING AT 1 TO 3 INCHES.

THIS SNOW LINGERS INTO AT LEAST EARLY SUNDAY. HAVE TO WATCH
THIS SITUATION...HAVE SEEN THESE WARM FRONTS DUMP UPWARDS
OF 6 INCHES.

NOT MUCH GOING ON AFTER THIS UNTIL MONDAY. LOOKING AT GUSTY
WINDS AND SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY. SOME HEAVY
DOWNPOURS...BUT THINK AMTS WILL BE LESS THAN 1 INCH. ALSO
WHILE A STRONG THUNDERSTORM COULD OCCUR...THINK BEST THERMAL
RIDGE IS OUT OF PHASE WITH BEST DYNAMICS TO THE NW...THUS
WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS WITH 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN NOT REAL
LIKELY AT THIS POINT. MOST AREAS WILL SEE 50 DEGREES OR HIGHER.

WINDY AND COLDER FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUE...AS WE TAP
THE REAL COLD AIR AGAIN TO THE NORTH. SOME DIRECTIONAL SHEAR...
THUS SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE LIMITED.

A SECONDARY FRONT FOR WED...PERHAPS A SNOW SHOWER ACROSS THE
FAR NE.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR THU.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT MOST SITES THROUGH
THE LATE EVENING HOURS BEFORE MAIN AREA OF PCPN MOVES INTO THE
STATE FROM THE SOUTH OVERNIGHT. CURRENTLY...WEST TO EAST BAND OF
LIGHT...MAINLY SCT PCPN ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL PA LOOKS TO KEEP KIPT
BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH FROM MVFR TO IFR FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS. WITH SFC TEMPS AROUND FREEZING AND SFC DEWPOINTS JUST BELOW
FREEZING...EXPECT PDS OF SLEET AND SNOW TO MIXED IN WITH THE RAIN AT
TIMES ACROSS NCENTRAL PA.

WIDESPREAD IFR WILL PERSIST INTO FRIDAY...BEFORE CONDITIONS BEGIN
TO IMPROVE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING.

STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THE STORM
FRIDAY...POSSIBLY GUSTING IN THE 40-50KT RANGE IN SOME AREAS.

OUTLOOK...

SAT...VFR.

SUN/SUN NIGHT...MVFR TO IFR WITH CHC -RA/-SN...MAINLY NORTH

MON...MVFR/IFR WITH RA WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WINDY.

TUE...MVFR/IFR EARLY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...OTHERWISE VFR.

.HYDROLOGY...
GIVEN WIDESPREAD MDT-HVY RAINS OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS...WILL BE
EXPANDING THE FLOOD WATCH. CURRENT RFC NUMBERS TAKE SVRL POINTS
CLOSE TO FLOOD. HAVE TO THINK THAT SOME AREAL MINOR FLOODING WILL
BE POSSIBLE BEFORE THE STORM DEPARTS FRI AFTERNOON.
