JUNGWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS State College, PA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 3, 1:13 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 1:13 PM EDT, 1 hour 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 113 PM EDT THU JUL 3 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL INTERACT WITH A PLUME OF DEEP MOISTURE TO THE NORTH OF HURRICANE ARTHUR TO FUEL THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY INTO EARLY TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE ACCOMPANIED BY COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS WILL BRING A VERY COMFORTABLE AND DRY 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED. ACTIVITY IS FIRING NOW IN THE BROAD CONVERGENCE/SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE. MESO ANAL SHOWS MUCAPE EXCEEDING 2000J WITH STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR CENTERED OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE MODEST BUT HEATING IS STRONG IN THE RIBBON OF ELEVATED PWATS...CONTRIBUTING TO THE STRONG INSTABILITY. EXPECT ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO FIRE AND SPREAD EAST IN RESPONSE TO FALLING HEIGHTS AND THE APPROACH OF A ROBUST JET ENTRANCE REGION/UPPER DIVERGENCE MOVING THROUGH THE LOWER LAKES TOWARD THE LOCAL AREA. THE ADDED THREAT TO TODAY'S STORMS WILL BE AN ENHANCED POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING FROM NEWD MOVING/TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS. LOCALIZED RAINFALL OF UP TO 2 INCHES IN LESS THAN AN HOUR COULD EASILY OCCUR ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN PA...ALTHOUGH BASIN AVERAGE AMOUNTS WILL BE OBVIOUSLY MUCH LOWER AND GENERALLY BETWEEN 4 AND 8 TENTHS OF AN INCH BY DUSK. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF OUR CWA BEGINNING AT 17Z TODAY...AND CONTINUING UNTIL 01Z FOR MUCH OF THE REGION /EXCEPT FOR THE FAR SE WHERE THE WATCH EXPIRES AT 04Z FRIDAY. HIGH TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON WILL VARY FROM THE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE MID 70S ACROSS THE NW MTNS...TO THE MID AND UPPER 80S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN VALLEYS. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/... IMPROVING CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP FOR LATER TODAY /ACROSS THE WEST/...AND LATE TONIGHT IN THE FAR EAST THU INTO FRIDAY AS THE FRONT EDGES EAST OF THE CWA. HOWEVER...SOME SOME SHOWERS SHOULD LINGER ACROSS THE FAR EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. COOLER AIR MOVING INTO THE REGION TONIGHT ON A 4-8 KT WNWRLY BREEZE SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDS...SO FOG SHOULD BE ON THE PATCHY LIGHT SIDE IN MOST PLACES. LOW TEMPS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 50S ACROSS THE NW MTNS...TO MID AND UPPER 60S ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND LOWER SUSQ VALLEY. INDEPENDENCE DAY SHOULD SHINE IN ALL OF IT/S GLORY THANKS TO A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN AND PROVIDING INCREASING SUNSHINE BUT DECREASING /AND VERY REFRESHING/ DEWPOINTS IN THE 40S NW AND 50S ACROSS THE SE. AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN MTNS...AND UPPER 70S IN THE SE. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE AMOUNT OF CLDS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SAT...GETTING CONCERN ABOUT HOW MUCH COOL AIR IS ADVECTED SE ACROSS THE LAKES. EXPECT A NICE DAY ON SUNDAY. WENT WITH LOW CHC POPS ACROSS THE NORTH ON MONDAY...THEN ALL AREAS FOR TUE INTO WED...AS EC AND OTHER MODELS HINT AT A WEAK FRONT DROPPING SOUTHWARD. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... HUMID AIR REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE AREA DAY WITH POTENTIAL REDUCTIONS DUE TO ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY BEGINNING TO FIRE OFF. ANY SITE THAT RECEIVES PRECIPITATION THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING WILL HAVE AN ELEVATED CHANCE FOR LOW CLOUDS/PATCHY FOG TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. OVERALL LOOK FOR IMPROVING CONDS TONIGHT WITH PREDOMINATELY VFR FLYING FRI INTO THE WEEKEND. OUTLOOK... FRI-EARLY SUN...VFR. LATE SUN-TUE...CHANCE REDUCTIONS WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
