AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
1053 AM EST THU DEC 6 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE STATE TODAY WILL SLIDE TO THE EAST. A FRONTAL
ZONE WILL SET UP OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND PENNSYLVANIA. WHILE THIS
WILL BE A RELATIVELY MILD PERIOD...IT WILL ALSO BE A WET PATTERN
THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. A STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON
MONDAY WILL RETURN TEMPERATURES TO SEASONAL NORMALS DURING THE
FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
BIG INVERSION THIS MORNING ALLOWED EVERY WIND FARM TO SHOW UP ON
THE LLVL RADAR REFLECTIVITY PICS. SFC RIDGE AXIS ASSOC WITH 1030MB
HIGH PRES WILL SLIDE TO THE EAST. CONSENSUS TEMP BLEND YIELDS
FAIRLY UNIFORM MAXES IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOW 40S...OR NEAR AVG FOR
EARLY DECEMBER. SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY WITH ONLY A GRADUAL
INCREASE IN HIGH CLOUDS. THE SFC HIGH WILL REACH THE NRN MID-ATLC
COAST BY THIS EVE...WITH THE LIGHT EASTERLY LLVL WINDS VEERING TO
THE SOUTHEAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
AN AREA OF ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL DEVELOP ALONG/AHEAD OF 850-700MB
THETA-E BOUNDARY RETURNING NWD THRU THE TN/OH VLY. APPROACHING
LOW-AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE TROF CROSSING THE MID MS VLY WILL INTERACT
WITH THE NWD-ADVANCING THETA-E FRONTAL ZONE AND AID IN GENERATING
LG SCALE LIFT. SWLY LLJ WILL ADVECT HI PWATS NEWD INTO THE AREA
WITH A RIBBON OF MODERATELY STG H85 MSTR FLUX CNVGNC SETTING UP
ALONG THE OH RVR INTO SW/S-CNTRL PA. MODEL QPF/S ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE WARM ADVECTION PCPN AS IT SPREADS NEWD LATE TNT
AND OVERRUNS A RETREATING SHALLOW COLD SECTOR ASSOC WITH DEPARTING
SFC HIGH MOVG OFF THE SRN NEW ENG COAST. SREF MEAN FCST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THERMAL PROFILES WILL BE INITIALLY SUPPORTIVE FOR A
PERIOD OF -FZRA AS SHALLOW POOL OF COLD AIR REMAINS ENTRENCHED
ALONG/EAST OF THE ALLEGHENY FRONT. CONFIDENCE IN SEEING SOME -FZRA
OVR PORTIONS OF THE CNTRL MTNS LATE TNT INTO THE PREDAWN HOURS
FRI IS IN THE MEDIUM TO HIGH RANGE...BUT EXPECT LITTLE TO NO ICE
ACCUM DUE TO SFC TEMPS WITHIN A DEGREE OR TWO OF FREEZING. WILL
ADD MENTION OF THE FZRA/LGT ICE ACCUM POTNL INTO THE HWO FOR NOW
AND WILL CONTINUE TO ASSESS THE NEED FOR BRIEF FZRA ADVY FROM
LATE TNT INTO EARLY FRI MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AN AMPLIFYING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT. ENOUGH COLD AIR MAY BE
TRAPPED IN THE VALLEYS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING FOR SOME ISOLATED
FREEZING RAIN...BUT EXPECT THIS TO BE SHORT-LIVED AND OVER WITH BY
15Z FRI.

A VIGOROUS PACIFIC DISTURBANCE COMING ONSHORE OVER WESTERN
BRITISH COLUMBIA ON FRIDAY WILL DIG INTO THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
U.S. ROCKIES THIS WEEKEND BEFORE EMERGING OVER THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. AS A LARGE SCALE TROF IS
FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES.

WHILE CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS OVER THE EVOLUTION OF THE
FLOW PATTERN FOR THE EARLY TO MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...THE MAIN FOCI
OF THE LONG TERM PATTERN WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND TRANSITION TO A WETTER PATTERN THIS WEEKEND.

WHAT HAS BEEN MOST CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...HAS BEEN
THE SOLUTION THAT A FRONT WILL APPROACH/CROSS INTO PA BY SATURDAY
AND STALL ACROSS THE STATE INTO SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY A SECOND COLD
FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE STATE ON MONDAY. THIS WILL BRING THE
LONGEST STRETCH OF WET WEATHER TO THE COMMONWEALTH IN SOME
TIME...AFTER A PARTICULARLY DRY NOVEMBER. ALSO CONSISTENT IS THE
IDEA OF THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST PRECIP RUNNING SW TO NE THRU WRN
PA...WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL LIKELY COMING WITH MONDAYS FROPA.

AFTER MONDAYS FROPA...THE PERIOD SHOULD END MAINLY DRY WITH CLOSE
TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
06/16Z - 07/12Z...

SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN VFR FLYING OVER CENTRAL PA
AIRSPACE INTO TONIGHT. A MOISTENING RETURN FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE
OF THE DEPARTING SFC HIGH WILL INTERACT WITH A WEAK MID-UPPER
LEVEL WAVE STREAKING EWD THRU THE OH VLY TO PRODUCE A
THICKENING/LOWERING CLOUD DECK AND AREA OF LGT PCPN - WHICH WILL
OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM THE SW LATE TNT INTO THE PREDAWN HOURS
FRI. AS THE MSTR OVERRUNS A RETREATING SHALLOW COLD SECTOR...SOME
-FZRA IS POSSIBLE BTWN APPROX 06-12Z FRI ACRS THE CENTRAL SITES
BEFORE SFC TEMPS WARM ABOVE FZG.

OUTLOOK...
