AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
454 AM EST FRI JAN 13 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
FLASH FREEZES ON UNTREATED ROADWAYS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING AS
ARCTIC AIR BLASTS ACROSS CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. WIDESPREAD SNOW
SHOWERS AND SQUALLS WILL AFFECT THE WEST AND NORTH UNDER A DEEP
UPPER LOW AND STRONG WEST WINDS. THOSE GUSTY WINDS WILL LAST ALL
DAY. LAKE EFFECT AND MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS WILL LAST MOST OF THE
WEEKEND BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL
MODERATE ON MONDAY BEFORE ANOTHER COMPLEX STORM DEVELOPS IN THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND SLIDES EASTWARD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON/...
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE ENTIRE AREA NOW. BEST PRESSURE RISES ARE
OCCURRING RIGHT NOW OVER THE SW AND WILL ZIP ACROSS THE SRN COS
THROUGH SUNRISE. G41KT AT LNS LAST HR AND G45MPH HERE AT THE
OFFICE WHEN THE FRONT CAME THROUGH. UPPER LOW WITH VERY HIGH
RELATIVE VORTICITY WILL PASS RIGHT OVERHEAD THIS MORNING. WINDS IN
THE LOWEST 5KFT ARE ALIGNING NOW...AND SHOULD ALLOW FOR PRETTY
EFFICIENT MIXING. TOP SPEEDS OF 45 TO 5KTS ARE SEEN IN THE LLVL
WIND FIELDS. SO GUSTS TO THOSE VALUES ARE POSSIBLE AS WE HAVE
SEEN.

TEMPS IN THE WEST ARE WELL BELOW FREEZING AND TEMPS IN THE EAST
ARE DROPPING FAST. ALL LOCATIONS HAVE ALREADY SEEN THEIR HIGH FOR
THE CALENDAR DAY. MOST PLACES WILL DROP TO THE COLDEST THIS
MORNING...THEN HOLD STEADY THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. DOWNSLOPE
IN THE SE MAY ALLOW THEM TO RISE A COUPLE OF DEGS. WIND CHILLS
AREN/T REALLY A CONCERN WITH VALUES 0 TO 10 ABOVE. BUT IT WILL
FEEL RAW WITH THE HIGH MOISTURE AND GUSTY WINDS.

DRY AIR WRAPPING AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW HAS CREATED A BRIEF
LULL IN THE MORE-STEADY PRECIP OVER WRN PA AND ERN OH.
HOWEVER...BANDED SNOW SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE. THESE NARROW BANDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
MORNING...THEN THE DEFORMATION ZONE TO THE WEST OF THE STORM
CENTER WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE NW ZONES. WILL CARRY ON WITH THE
GENERAL 3-5 FOR THE NW MTS...BUT LOWER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSIDERING THE WINDS MAKING IT
DIFFICULT TO MEASURE. WILL NOT DEVIATE FROM THE FORECAST AT THIS
POINT WITH THE MEAT OF THE EVENT STILL TO COME. SLR/S WILL BE
BETWEEN 15 AND 25:1...SO THE SNOW COULD PILE UP IF IT HAS A CHANCE
TO STAY IN ONE PLACE.

THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND WINDS GUSTING TO ALMOST 50 MPH LATER
WILL LIKELY CREATE VERY POOR DRIVING CONDS. THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN MTNS ARE UNDER A WINT WX ADVISORY FOR SN/BLSN...WITH AN
A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. CHOSE NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IF
THE WWADVY COVERED THE WIND ADVY CRITERIA GUSTS AND JUST ISSUED IT
FOR EVERYONE. THE SHARP DROP IN TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO TURN WET
ROADS TO ICE...CAUSING UNTREATED ROADS TO EXPERIENCE FLASH
FREEZES. STEADY PRECIP SHOULD BE OVER OR ABOUT TO LEAVE THE NORTH
AROUND 12Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM /4 PM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
LOW MOVES AWAY RAPIDLY THROUGH THE DAY AND EVENING. A STRONG
SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL CROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING AS HEIGHTS
LEVEL OFF AND STAY MAINLY ZONAL THROUGH THE NEXT 36 HRS. THE FLOW
IS INITIALLY A LITTLE TOO WRLY OR EVEN WSW AND MAY KEEP THE BETTER
LK EFF SHSN OVER WRN NY STATE. THE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS TYPICALLY
CYCLONIC AND TRAJS FOR LAKE EFFECT GET BETTER TONIGHT WITH LKS
HURON AND ST CLAIR ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO THE INSTABILITY AND
MOISTURE.

ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL CROSS PA SAT AM. THE FLOW THEN
BECOMES ANTICYCLONIC SAT NIGHT...AND SHOULD FINALLY SQUASH THE
LAKE EFFECT. WILL HOLD HIGH POPS AND ACCUMULATIONS OF AT LEAST AN
INCH IN THE FAR NW EACH PD. AS IS NORMAL...THE PLACES N OF ROUTE 6
WILL SEE THE MOST SNOW. THE WEST-FACING SLOPES OF THE LAURELS WILL
ALSO SEE A CONSTANT CHC FOR SHSN AND ACCUMS. BUT THE FLOW IS MORE
UPSLOPE THERE RATHER THAN HAVING A EXCELLENT GOOD FETCH FROM THE
LAKES. WILL KEEP HIGHEST NUMS IN THE FAR NW. WE MAY NEED
ADDITIONAL LK EFF FLAGS FOR THE NW FOR TONIGHT AND SAT...BUT WILL
REVISIT THAT IN A FEW HRS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
COLD CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP LAKE EFFECT AND
OROGRAPHIC SNOW SHOWERS GOING IN THE TRADITIONAL PLACES THROUGH
THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. ADDITIONAL LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY...WITH HIGHEST TOTALS IN THE NW MTNS.
TEMPERATURES WILL AVG A FEW TO SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL...WITH A BRISK BREEZE CONTINUING TO GIVE US A TASTE OF
MORE NORMAL JANUARY WEATHER.

THE ERN CONUS LW TROUGH IS FCST TO LIFT OUT OF THE MID-ATLANTIC
AND NORTHEAST STATES BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...BRINGING A RETURN OF
WAA. THIS SHOULD AFFORD A MODERATION IN TEMPS /30S ON MON WITH
30S AND 40S FOR TUE/...AS S/WV RIDGE SLIDES EWD FM THE MIDWEST/GRT
LKS AND MILDER SWLY FLOW DEVELOPS AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM CROSSING
THE ROCKIES/PLAINS. A N-S SFC RIDGE WILL PROVIDE FAIR AND DRY
WEATHER TO START NEXT WEEK BEFORE MIGRATING OFF THE ECOAST. MEDIUM
RANGE MDL AND ENSEMBLE GUID IS IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN
TIMING THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM AND ACCOMPANYING PCPN THROUGH THE
REGION TUE-WED. PRECIP STARTS OFF AS RAIN AND REMAINS PRIMARILY
RAIN BEFORE ENDING AS LIGHT SNOW AS COLDER AIR ON THE BACK END OF
THIS SYSTEM RETURNS TEMPS BACK TO NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
RAPIDLY CHANGING WEATHER CONDS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED ACRS WRN AND
CNTRL TAF SITES...AND EXPECT RAIN TO CHANGE TO SNOW AT IPT-MDT-LNS
BTWN 10-11Z PER CIWS DATA. RADAR LOOP SHOWS SW-NE ORIENTED UPSLOPE
SNOW BANDS AIMED INTO SW PA WITH WRAP-AROUND SYNOPTIC SNOWS
PIVOTING NWWD FM UNV TO BFD. STRONG PRES RISES AND TIGHT GRADIENT
WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT 30-40KT WIND GUSTS THROUGH THE DAY AS LOW
PRES OVR THE LWR LKS TRACKS NEWD UP THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY. THE
PATTERN WILL TRANSITION TO A MORE TYPICAL POST-FRONTAL REGIME WITH
THE WORST FLYING CONDS OVR THE WRN HIGH TERRAIN IN FQNT LAKE
EFFECT AND OROGRAPHICALLY ENHANCED SNOW SHOWERS/BLSN REDUCING VIS
TO IFR OR LOWER. MVFR CONDS WILL BE MORE COMMON THROUGHOUT THE
