SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS...DESTRUCTIVE HAIL...
DEADLY LIGHTNING AND VERY HEAVY RAIN. FOR YOUR PROTECTION MOVE TO AN
INTERIOR ROOM ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS. HEAVY
RAINS FLOOD ROADS QUICKLY SO DO NOT DRIVE INTO AREAS WHERE WATER
COVERS THE ROAD.

PREFERABLY INSIDE A STRONG BUILDING AND AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

IN ADDITION TO LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...CONTINUOUS CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING IS OCCURRING WITH THIS STORM.  MOVE INDOORS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
745 PM EDT TUE JUN 17 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
CENTRAL PA WILL REMAIN ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH AT LEAST
WEDNESDAY. SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED TO WORK INTO
THE AREA FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 314 RECENTLY ISSUED FOR THE NORTHERN 2
LAYERS OF COUNTIES IN OUR CWA. BKN LINE OF STRONG TO POTENTIALLY
SEVERE TSRA CURRENTLY TRACKING QUICKLY ESE FROM THE LAKE ERIE
SHORE...VIA THE FAIRLY STRONG 40 KT 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR.

THE STRONG...PLUS 9-10C MID-LEVEL CAP IS PROGGED TO ERODE BY AT
LEAST A FEW DEG C ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF PENN THIS EVENING AS LLVL
MOISTURE FLUX RAMPS UP TO A VERY IMPRESSIVE...5-6 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF THE CWA BY 03Z...AND THE
SOUTHERN EDGE OF A RIBBON OF 50 KT 850 MB WINDS SLIDES ACROSS THE
REGION.

STRONG POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS NEAR THE LEADING
EDGE AND WITHIN THE CORES OF THE MORE INTENSE STORMS CONSIDERING
THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR...CURRENT SFC BASED CAPES IN THE 1500-2500
J/KG RANGE IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM OF THE TSRA...AND LINGERING SREF
CAPES OF 1200 J/KG LATE THIS EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF NCENT PENN.

POCKETS OF LOW LEVEL ENERGY HELICITY INDEX AOA 2 MS/S2 WILL BRING
THE CHC FOR SOME OF THE TSRA DEVELOPING SUPERCELL STRUCTURE...WITH
A CHC OF AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR 2 ACROSS THE NCENT MTNS THIS
EVENING. LCL'S ARE FAIRLY HIGH ATTM...SO INITIALLY A TORNADO
THREAT SEEMS REMOTE.

INSTABILITY IS PROGGED TO LINGER WELL INTO THE EVENING SUGGESTING
THAT ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS COULD BE ONGOING WELL BEYOND THE
NORMAL DIURNAL FADE AWAY TIME. EITHER WAY IT WILL BE ANOTHER VERY
MUGGY OVERNIGHT. LOWS WELL UP IN THE 60S WILL BE SOME 10-15 DEG
ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
LOW LEVEL NW FLOW ON WEDNESDAY WILL INITIALLY BRING SLIGHTLY
DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION...BUT A RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW IS MADE
TO RAPIDLY REDEVELOP BY AFTERNOON OVER OVER WESTERN AREAS. SHORT
RANGE MODEL SURFACE PRESSURE PROGS SUGGEST WE WILL BE BASICALLY IN
A COL BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE EAST AND WEST OF US...AND HIGH PRESSURE
NORTH AND SOUTH. MODELS ONCE AGAIN GENERATE A RESPECTABLE AMOUNT
OF INSTABILITY SO MORE DIURNALLY FAVORED CONVECTION SHOULD BE IN
STORE.

THE IMPLIED PRESENCE OF A LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY OVER SWRN PA SUGGESTS
THAT THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL WEST...WITH LESSER CHANCES
FURTHER EAST.

TEMPERATURES MAY BE A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER THAN TODAY...NOT
SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPPER RIDGE CURRENTLY OVER THE EASTERN U.S. IS FORECAST TO BE
SQUASHED BY AN UPPER LOW FORECAST TO DEEPEN OVER EASTERN QUEBEC
MIDWEEEK AND DIG INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES BY THE WEEKEND. THIS
UPPER LOW WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO THE AREA DURING
THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...BRINGING AN END TO THE SULTRY TEMPS.
THE FRONT IS FCST TO STALL JUST SOUTH OF PA AND SERVE AS A
POSSIBLE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION.

SEVERAL SHORTWAVES TRAVELING THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW WILL PRODUCE A
SERIES OF SFC WAVES ALONG THE FRONT AS IT LIFTS NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT AT SOME POINT OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THIS LOOKS TO SUPPORT AN UNSETTLED PATTERN...THOUGH CERTAINTY OF
PCPN ON ANY GIVEN DAY REMAINS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY GIVEN THE
TIME FRAME AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE OVERALL PATTERN.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ALL TERMINALS ARE VFR AS OF EARLY AFTERNOON...AND WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF HIT AND MISS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...THIS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH LATE DAY.

CONVECTIVE TRENDS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN LATER TODAY AND
OVERNIGHT...BUT STILL THINK SOME SORT OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IS
LIKELY TO FORM OVER THE LOWER LAKES/NWRN PA AND AFFECT THE REGION
STARTING LATER TODAY. HAVE NO MENTION OF THUNDER AT THIS
POINT OTHER THAN AT BFD...BUT WE WILL LIKELY BE INCLUDING IT ONCE
TIMING BECOMES MORE APPARENT.

THE OVERNIGHT WILL BE WARM AND HUMID AND IF A TERMINAL IS AFFECTED
BY A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM...REDUCED CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH SOME LOW CLOUDS...FOG AND HAZE. OTHERWISE NO WIDESPREAD
REDUCTIONS ARE EXPECTED.

WEDNESDAY LOOKS SIMILAR TO TODAY...WITH MAINLY AFTERNOON
CONVECTION PROVIDING LOCAL REDUCTIONS.

OUTLOOK...

THU...VFR WITH AREAS OF MVFR AND SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

FRI...NO SIG WX.

SAT-SUN...VFR WITH AREAS OF MVFR AND SCATTERED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.
