CORRECTED TYPO :(

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
248 AM EDT MON MAY 13 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A PAIR OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
COMMONWEALTH EARLY TODAY BRINGING WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES...
AND A GUSTY DAYTIME NORTHWEST BREEZE. THE BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WILL LAST THROUGH TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND
DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...WITH THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM THIS MORNING/...
SHOWERS HAVE DIMINISHED EARLY THIS MORNING AS H5 WAVE LIFTS OUT OF
FAR EASTERN PA IN FAVOR OF SHARPLY DIGGING TROF DROPPING SOUTHWARD
THROUGH MICHIGAN. TEMPORARY SHORTWAVE RIDGING HAS ARRIVED IN FACT
WITH NEARLY NEUTRAL BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURE ADVECTION.

SFC TEMPS ACROSS THE FROST ADVISORY AREA RANGE FROM 35 TO 40
PRESENTLY...BUT SHOULD SEE A 2-5 DEGREE DROPOFF BETWEEN 400 AND
700 AM AS DECREASING VALLEY BREEZES ALLOW MORE COOLING. THIS WILL
PRODUCE FROST IN MANY OF THE CENTRAL VALLEYS.

MINS IN THE LOWER SUSQ /WHERE MAINLY CLEAR SKIES WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT/ WILL BE CLOSE TO FROSTING UP...BUT WILL
CONT TO KEEP A PATCHY FROST MENTION THERE FOR NOW SINCE THE TYPICAL
RURAL AREAS WILL SEE TEMPS INTO THE MID 30S. SPS SENT TO FURTHER
PUBLICIZE THE INFO IN THE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
THE MAIN CHANGE FOR THIS PERIOD WAS TO ISSUE A FREEZE WATCH FOR LATE
MONDAY NIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY. ALL NUMERICAL AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE
POINTS TWD THE LIKELIHOOD OF WIDESPREAD SUB-FREEZING TEMPS
THROUGHOUT THE CENTRAL RIDGE AND VALLEY REGION WHERE THE GROWING
SEASON /IN MOST LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE WATCH AREA/ BEGAN LESS THAN
TWO WEEKS AGO. IN FACT...RECORD LOW TEMPS APPEAR EASILY ACHIEVABLE
SHOULD THE WIND DIMINISH TO NEAR CALM AND SKIES TURN CLEAR FOR MUCH
OF THE NIGHT. A HARD FREEZE IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN SOME OF THE
PERENNIAL COLD RURAL VALLEYS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SCENT MTNS.

THE NRN MTNS AND LAURELS ARE STILL AROUND 1 WEEK AWAY FROM THE
OFFICIAL...COLLABORATED START TO THEIR GROWING SEASON...SO NO
WATCHES WILL BE ISSUED FOR THOSE LOCATIONS EVEN THOUGH MIN TEMPS
WILL BE WELL DOWN IN THE 20S IN MOST PLACES. A FEW OF THE NORMALLY
COLDEST SPOTS COULD SEE A LOW OF 18 OR 19F...GIVEN SIMILAR SFC
DEWPOINTS ON MOS GUIDANCE.

CONCERNING THE TANGIBLE WEATHER FEATURES...UPPER TROUGH ACTUALLY
SHARPENS UP DURING THE DAY AS THE AXIS SLIDES OVER THE CWA...AND
THEN EAST OF THE AREA. THE 8H TROUGH AXIS IS ALSO STILL WEST OR OVER
THE AREA THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. THUS...A RETURN OF THE DIURNAL
INSTABILITY IS CERTAIN AND ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WILL BE GENERATED
ACROSS THE NRN MTS. THE BASE OF THE SHORT WAVE THAT WILL SHARPEN THE
TROUGH COULD EVEN MAKE A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE SWRN COS. AS
THE TROUGHS ALOFT SWING EASTWARD...THE LIFT WILL WANE AND THE DRY
AIR WILL MEAN NEARLY CLEAR SKIES ON MON NITE. THIS WILL LIKELY MAKE
A FROST/FREEZE OVER THE ENTIRE AREA. HOWEVER...TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT
OF CONFUSION...ANY HEADLINES FOR THAT TIME FRAME WILL BE HELD OFF ON
AT THIS TIME. IT ONLY TAKES AN HOUR OR SO TO COVER UP ANY SENSITIVE
PLANTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH-AMPLITUDE FLOW IN PLACE ON TUESDAY WILL TRANSITION TOWARD A
FLATTER/MORE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN BY THURSDAY. SFC HIGH PRESSURE
EXTENDING INTO PA FROM SE U.S. TUES WILL ALSO GIVE WAY TO MORE
UNSETTLED WEATHER BY LATE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

500MB HEIGHTS REBOUND TUE-WED-THU AS DEEP ERN TROUGH LIFTS OUT OF
THE MID-ATLC REGION. AFTER A CHILLY MORNING TUES...WITH POTENTIAL
FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES WHERE THE GROWING SEASON IS UNDERWAY ALONG
AND TO THE SE OF THE I-99/RTE 220 CORRIDOR...TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO
MODERATE. WED MORNING WILL STILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE...BUT WARM
FRONT PUSHING THROUGH WED WILL BRING NOTICEABLY MILDER LOWS FOR
LATE WEEK AS HIGHS CLIMB PAST SEASONAL NORMALS TO 5-10F ABOVE.

THAT WARM FRONT WILL ALSO BEGIN A PERIOD OF MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER
FOR CENTRAL PA AS WEAK TROUGH SETS UP OVER HUDSON BAY. BY LATE
WEEK...E-W STRETCHING WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BECOME FOCUS FOR
DAILY SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS. TIMING VARIES BETWEEN MODELS AS SUBTLE
DIFFERENCES IN SHORTWAVE TIMING CREEP IN...SO BROAD-BRUSHED POPS A
BIT. BUT CAPE INCREASES THU INTO FRI NIGHT...INCREASING CHANCES
FOR TSTMS.

MODEL DIFFERENCES INCREASE FURTHER BY NEXT WEEKEND...BUT WEAK
SECONDARY FRONT MAY NUDGE ORIGINAL BOUNDARY A BIT FURTHER SOUTH -
KEEPING MENTION OF SHOWERS HIGHER ACROSS SOUTHERN HALF THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WINDS DIMINISHING AND INSTABILITY SHOWERS ACROSS THE N MTNS
RAPIDLY DISSIPATING LATE THIS EVENING...AS THE BOUNDARY LYR
COOLS/STABILIZES. DIURNAL CU HAVE COLLAPSED ACROSS MUCH OF
CENTRAL PA LATE THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...AN INCREASINGLY COLD WNW
FLOW SHOULD GATHER ENOUGH MOISTURE FROM THE GRT LKS TO PRODUCE A
GOOD DEAL OF STRATO-CU ACROSS THE CENTRAL MTNS LATER TONIGHT.
CAN/T RULE OUT A DIP TO MVFR CIGS AT BFD LATE TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH
BULK OF MDL DATA SUGGESTS CIGS WILL REMAIN JUST ABV 3 KFT.

WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN LATE MON MORNING WITH HEATING AND
PASSAGE OF A STRONG SHORTWAVE WHICH WILL SHARPEN AND DIG THE BASE
OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH AS IT MOVES OVER HEAD. EXPECT A SIMILAR
SITUATION TO TODAY WITH SCT AFTN INSTABILITY SHOWERS UNDER THE
COLD POOL ALOFT. WIDESPREAD VFR CONDS EXPECTED...BUT A BRIEF VSBY
REDUCTION IS POSSIBLE IN A PASSING SHOWER...MAINLY OVR THE
NORTHERN AND WESTERN MTNS.

.OUTLOOK...
TUE...NO SIG WX EXPECTED.
WED...SCT THUNDERSTORMS IMPACTS POSSIBLE.
THU-FRI...SCT PM TSRA IMPACTS POSSIBLE...MAINLY SOUTH.
