AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
921 PM EDT WED JUN 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
CENTRAL PA WILL REMAIN ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL
RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES. A NEARLY STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED ACROSS THE STATE WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. SLIGHTLY COOLER
AND DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED TO WORK INTO THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH FRIDAY AS THE FRONT SAGS SOUTH OF THE STATE. ENOUGH
MOISTURE WILL RETURN TO THE REGION THIS WEEKEND TO PRODUCE MAINLY
AFTERNOON SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ONCE AGAIN.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
SFC QUASI SNTRY FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE WCENT MTNS...EAST-
SOUTHEAST TO THE LOWER SUSQ VALLEY WILL ACT AS THE FOCUS FOR
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING THROUGH MUCH OF
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS AN INITIAL WARM ADVECTION ARM OF CONVECTION
TEAMS UP WITH AN EXTENSIVE MCS /FOLLOWING QUICKLY IN ITS WAKE/.

TREMENDOUS LIGHTNING DISPLAY /OVER 300 STRIKES DURING THE PAST 15
MINUTES/ ACCOMPANYING THE MINI BOW ECHO RACING INTO WESTERN
JEFFERSON COUNTY AND TWD KDUJ AND THE REMAINDER OF CLEARFIELD
COUNTY ATTM. ISOLATED SVR TSRA OVER THE PAST HOUR PRODUCED
LARGE...QUARTER-SIZE HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTHERN CLEARFIELD COUNTY OVER THE PAST 90 MINUTES. EXPECT THIS
BOW ECHO TO MAINTAIN FAIRLY STRONG INTENSITY WITH SVR/WIND GUST
POTENTIAL OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS ITS MOVES ALONG AND JUST
SOUTH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED QUASI STNRY BOUNDARY.

MESO LOW TRAINING THIS MCS...AND LINKED TO THE RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION OF 80-90 KT JET MAX ACROSS SRN ONTARIO...WILL SLIDE ACROSS
LAKE ERIE LATE TONIGHT...AND NWRN PENN THURSDAY MORNING HELPING TO
FOCUS THE GREATEST THREAT FOR EXCESSIVE RAIN ACROSS SEVERAL OF OUR
NW ZONES THROUGH MID MORNING THURSDAY. RECENTLY ISSUED A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH THROUGH 14Z THURSDAY /FOR 4 COUNTIES IN NW PENN/ IN
COLLABORATION WITH WFO PBZ.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN MTNS OF PENN...THE
THREAT EXISTS FOR FEW...TO SEVERAL HOUR PERIOD OF SHOWERS AND
PERHAPS A FEW STG TO SVR TSRA WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SLOWLY
WEAKENING MCS LATER TONIGHT. LOWEST PROBABILITY FOR CONVECTION
WILL BE ACROSS THE LOWER SUSQ VALLEY AND LIMITED TO VERY LATE
TONIGHT.

IT WILL BE WARM AND MUGGY OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE STATE THANKS TO THICKENING CLOUD COVER FROM THE WEST BY
SHORTLY AFTER DUSK. EARLY MORNING MINS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S
TO AROUND 70 IN SPOTS. ACROSS TO THE NORTHERN TIER...MINS WILL
DROP INTO THE MORE COMFORTABLE MID TO UPPER 50S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE
MORNING AS SFC FRONT SAGS SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTHERN PA. SOME
AREAS...ESPECIALLY THOSE THROUGH SOUTHERN PA...SHOULD HAVE
0.75 TO 1.5"+ PWATS ALLOWING FOR CONTINUED CONVECTION. LLVL DRY
AIR WILL FILTER IN BETWEEN 15 TO 18Z WHICH WILL TAPER OFF ANY
PRECIPITATION ALONG THE NORTH...THOUGH WARM AIR AND AN ADVANCING
SFC LOW COULD ALLOW CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A BATTLE BETWEEN UPPER LOW OVER EASTERN QUEBEC AND ATTEMPTS BY
THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SRN U.S. TO REBUILD INTO THE EAST WILL
DOMINATE THE LONG TERM PERIOD. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE
UPPER LOW WILL WIN OUT EARLY IN THE PERIOD WITH THE UPPER HIGH
CENTER RETROGRESSING SWWD TOWARD THE ARKLATEX BY FRIDAY NIGHT.

AN AREA OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP IT A BIT COOLER AND DRIER
ON FRIDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH OF
THE STATE BY THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD.

THE UPPER RIDGE IS FORECAST TO BUILD NORTH INTO THE GREAT LAKES
WHILE ONE SIGNIFICANT TROF SWINGS EAST OF THE COAST. THIS WILL
HELP THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT TO LIFT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT
EARLY IN THE WEEKEND. SEVERAL OTHER SHORTWAVES TRAVELING THROUGH
THE UPPER FLOW AROUND THE QUEBEC LOW ARE FORECAST TO PRODUCE A
SERIES OF SFC WAVES ALONG THE FRONT. THIS LOOKS TO BRING BACK THE
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STARTING EARLY IN THE WEEKEND
AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTN WITH THE THREAT FOR
TSTMS INCREASING THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE
GLOBAL AND HIRES MODEL DATA TEND TO FAVOR THIS IDEA...SUGGESTING
ANOTHER LATE DAY OR NOCTURNAL/OVERNIGHT TSTM EVENT. LOOK FOR
CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE AFTER 00Z THROUGH 12Z...ESPECIALLY FOR
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TAF SITES DUE TO LOW CLOUDS...SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS. MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN TSRA SHOULD ADVANCE
FROM THE WEST TO EAST...WITH PRECIPITATION AND POSSIBLE IFR
CONDITIONS BY MORNING. EXPECT SKIES TO IMPROVE BETWEEN 15 TO 18Z
IN THE NORTH AS DRY AIR MOVES IN.

OUTLOOK...
