AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
1047 PM EDT TUE JUL 1 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH CENTRAL PA WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WITH COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS
WILL BUILD INTO THE STATE JUST IN TIME FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE
LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND. A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO TRACK
ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST...BUT SHOULD VEER JUST OFFSHORE
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WITH CURRENT PROJECTIONS SPARING CENTRAL PA
FROM ANY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
EARLIER CONVECTION HAS DIED OUT AND SKIES ARE EITHER CLEAR OR
ABOUT TO BECOME CLEAR ACROSS CENTRAL PA AT 0230Z. MAIN FOCUS OF
THIS FCST PERIOD WILL BE THE CHC OF ADDITIONAL SHRA/TSRA LATE
TONIGHT ASSOC WITH SHORTWAVE LIFTING OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY.
REGIONAL RADAR LOOP SHOWS CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG QUASI-
STATIONARY BNDRY...WHICH CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM THE OHIO RIVER
VALLEY INTO NW PA. WILL REINTRODUCE CHC OF SHRA/TSRA LATE TONIGHT
ACROSS ROUGHLY THE NW HALF OF THE CWA...AS LG SCALE FORCING
OVERSPREADS THIS BOUNDARY AND ASSOC AXIS OF INSTABILITY.

IT WILL BE ANOTHER MUGGY NIGHT ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION WITH MINS
VARYING FROM THE MID 60S IN THE NW...TO THE LOWER 70S SE OF THE
ALLEGHENIES. HAVE ALSO ADDED PATCHY FOG TO THE LATE NIGHT
FCST...GIVEN THE CLEARING SKIES AND LGT WIND. BEST CHC OF FOG WILL
BE IN THOSE SPOT THAT RECEIVED RAIN LATE THIS AFTN...SUCH AS THE
SC MTNS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
SCT SHRA/TSRA COULD BE ONGOING OVR PARTS OF CENTRAL AND NW PA AT
DAWN. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATING THRU THE
EASTERN GRT LKS...COMBINED WITH DIURNAL HEATING OF MOIST/UNSTABLE
AIR MASS...SHOULD YIELD A GREATER COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA DURING THE
AFTN HOURS. 18Z GEFS INDICATING A HIGH CAPE ENVIRONMENT BY AFTN
OVR CENTRAL/EASTERN PA WITH VALUES BTWN 2000-3000 J/KG. UNLIKE
TODAY...MID LVL WIND AND ASSOC 0-6KM SHEAR WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY
STRONGER AHEAD OF APPROACHING TROF...INDICATING THE POTENTIAL OF
AN ORGANIZED SVR WX THREAT. SPC HAS PLACED MUCH OF THE CWA IN THE
SLGHT RISK AREA.

MDL 8H TEMPS STILL INDICATE IT WILL BE ANOTHER HOT DAY...WITH
MAXES AS HIGH AS THE L90S ACROSS THE LOWER SUSQ VALLEY.
HOWEVER...NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO CONSIDER A HEAT ADVISORY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MED RANGE MDLS ALL SHOWING A DEEPENING UPPER LVL TROF OVR THE
MIDWEST DURING THE MIDWEEK PERIOD...RESULTING IN COLD FRONT
STALLING OUT ACROSS CENTRAL PA. THUS...THE CHC OF SHRA/TSRA WILL
REMAIN IN THE FCST INTO THU NIGHT.

BASED ON THE ABOVE INFO. AND TROPICAL SYSTEM LIFTING NE...LEFT
SOME SHOWERS IN EASTERN AREAS FOR FRIDAY. LATER SHIFTS CAN CUT
BACK AS NEEDED.

DESPITE MINOR TIMING DIFFS...MED RANGE GUIDANCE STILL CONSISTENT
IN PUSHING COLD FRONT EAST OF THE REGION LATER FRIDAY WITH HIGH
PRES DELIVERING COOL AND DRY WEATHER IN TIME FOR THE BEGINNING OF
THE 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND.

WENT WITH A DRY FCST FOR NEXT MONDAY AND TUE. SOME SPREAD IN
DIFFERENT MODELS AND MODEL RUNS.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO CENTRAL PA OVERNIGHT...THEN STALL
OVER THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY.

AFTER VERY ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA THIS EVENING...FORECAST AREA
REMAINS CONVECTION FREE WITH VFR CONDS WIDESPREAD AT THIS TIME. A
LINE OF TSRA EAST OF LAKE ERIE MAY AFFECT KBFD IN THE 04-05Z TIME
FRAME. AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER CENTRAL OHIO IS FORECAST TO MOVE
EAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS WELL. TIMING FORECASTS BRING
THE REMNANTS OF THIS AREA INTO WRN CWA AROUND 08-10Z.

OTHERWISE...MAIN FORECAST CONCERN OVERNIGHT IS DEVELOPMENT OF
AREAS OF FOG/HAZE. WITH SFC DEWPOINTS 70F OR HIGHER AND GENERALLY
CLEAR SKIES...TEMPS DO NOT HAVE FAR TO COOL TO LEAD TO RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES NEAR 100 PERCENT OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL SUPPORT FOG AND
HAZE ACROSS THE REGION...WITH VSBYS SINKING TO MVFR RANGE THROUGH
SUNRISE. THESE RESTRICTION APPEAR MOST LIKELY AT CENTRAL AND
EASTERN TAF SITES WHERE DEWPOINTS ARE HIEST.

OUTLOOK...
WED-THU...SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL BRING SCT SHRA/TSRA AND
LOCAL RESTRICTIONS. FRI-SUN...VFR.
