AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
409 PM EDT SUN JUL 13 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH JUST TO THE SOUTHWEST OF HUDSON BAY
WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES BY
MONDAY...BEFORE SLIDING ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC INTO
THE MIDWEEK PERIOD. A PAIR OF SURFACE COLD FRONTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS TROUGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH AND BRING SEVERAL
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE COMMONWEALTH FOR THE MID
TO LATE WEEK PERIOD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
THE EARLIER...EXTENSIVE MID CLOUD DECK AND AREAS OF FAIRLY WEAK
CONVECTION CAUSED THE ATMOS TO TEMPORARILY STABILIZE WITHIN A BELT
OF WARM 700 MB TEMPS OF AROUND 8C. AS LLVL SWRLY FLOW...AND PWATS
INCREASE FROM THE WEST...AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN
SLIGHTLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING...WE/LL SEE AN
INCREASING TREND OF SHOWER/TSRA COVERAGE INTO EARLY THIS EVENING
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT.

THIS INITIAL FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS THE NWRN HALF
OF PENN OVERNIGHT...THEN ESSENTIALLY WASH OUT INTO A WEAK STNRY
BOUNDARY AS THE ANOMALOUSLY STRONG...MID SUMMER TROUGH RELOADS
WITH ENERGY WELL TO OUR NW.

AS THE DEVELOPING TSRA TO OUR WEST MOVE INTO THE BETTER DEEP LAYER
SHEAR ACROSS NRN AND WRN PENN LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING /WITH POCKETS OF 0-1 KM EHI EXCEEDING 2 M2/S2/...SOME
TSRA WILL DEVELOP TRANSIENT MESO. SOME OF THE LONGER-LASTING
SUPERCELLS COULD SPAWN 1 OR 2 BRIEF TORNADOES....ESP ACROSS THE NW
AND NCENT MTNS OF PENN WHERE LCL HEIGHTS ARE BELOW 1 KM AGL.

OTHERWISE...MINI BOW ECHOES WITH LOCALIZED DAMAGING MICROBURSTS
WILL BE THE MOST PROBABLE TYPE OF SEVERE WEATHER LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. MORE SCATTERED...MULTI-CELL /OR
PERHAPS A BRIEF SUPERCELL/ TSRA IS ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE SE HALF
OF THE CWA.

RAINFALL COULD BE LOCALLY HEAVY ACROSS NRN AND WRN PENN...WITH
A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING TSRA CLOSER TO THE
AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE STRETCHING OUT IN A MORE
EAST/WEST DIRECTION BY LATE TONIGHT.

LOCAL POOR DRAINAGE AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING IS POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER...1-3 HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE RATHER
HIGH...SO SERIOUS HYDRO PROBLEMS/FLASH FLOODING IS NOT
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME GIVEN THE FAST EWD MOVEMENT OF
INDIVIDUAL TSRA.

TEMPS WILL CLIMB ANOTHER FEW DEG F ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND ERN
ZONES...WHERE CONVECTION WILL BE AT A RELATIVE MIN THROUGH ABOUT
22Z.

LATER TONIGHT...THE LLVL JET LIFTS TO THE NE OF THE REGION...BUT
PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND AREAS OF WEAK UVVEL WILL REMAIN NEAR THE
STALLING FRONTAL BOUNDARY /SITUATED BENEATH THE BROADLY DIFFLUENT
WRLY UPPER FLOW/.

AFTER THE EVENING TSRA DISSIPATE/MOVE EAST OF THE AREA...SCATTERED
SHRA AND PATCHY FOG WILL REMAIN FOR THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.

LOW TEMPS EARLY MONDAY WILL BE MAINLY IN THE MID 60S ACROSS THE
NRN AND WRN MTNS...AND UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/...
ANOTHER DAY OF SHOWERS/TSRA EXPECTED AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
RIPPLES NE ACROSS CENTRAL OR WRN PENN ALONG A QUASI-STNRY BOUNDARY
AND WELL IN ADVANCE OF A STRONGER SFC COLD FRONT. THE SERN THIRD
/TO PERHAPS SE HALF/ OF THE CWA WILL REMAIN IN A SLIGHT RISK AREA
FOR SVR TSRA...WHILE MORE STRATIFORM RAIN/OR LOW-TOPPED TSRA ARE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE NW HALF OF PENN.

MAX TEMPS WILL SLIDE BACK TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL ACROSS
THE NW MTNS...BUT TOP OUT NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL ACROSS THE
SE HALF OF THE CWA.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

BY 00ZZ TUESDAY THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE ON THE LOCATION OF THE
CLOSED LOW. THE EC HAS IT FURTHEST SOUTH...THE NAM THE FURTHEST
NORTH...AND THE GFS SPLITTING THE DIFFERENCE. OUTSIDE OF THIS
HOWEVER THEY ARE ALL IN FAIR AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF THE
SYSTEM.
 SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OUT AHEAD OF A DEEPENING 850MB TROUGH SHOULD
PROVIDE ENOUGH INSTABILITY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF MONDAY NIGHT. THE MID LEVEL TROUGH
SHOULD DEEPEN INTO TUESDAY...WHERE THE ACTUAL FRONT WILL SHIFT
INTO THE REGION LATE TUESDAY. HIGH PWAT ANOMALIES AND DECENT LIFT
FROM THE APPROACHING FRONT...ALONG WITH STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT
ALOFT SHOULD ALLOW FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TUESDAY...MAINLY THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DUE TO
ADDITIONAL ENERGY THAT SHOULD BE DRIVING SSE INTO THE BACK SIDE
OF THE HIGH AMPLITUDE MIDWEST TROUGH.

THE PATTERN OVER THE NRN CONUS AND SRN CANADA APPEARS TO DE-
AMPLIFY BY MID WEEK THE EASTERN U.S. TROUGH BEGINS TO SHEAR OUT
TO THE NE AND DRY AIR ADVECTS IN BEHIND THE FRONT.

THE DRIEST PERIOD OF THE LONG TERM WILL BE THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...THOUGH SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION STILL CANT BE RULED OUT
EITHER OF THOSE TWO DAYS. DURING THIS TIMEFRAME...THE COLD FRONT
SHOULD BRING IN COOL TO AT LEAST 4-6F BELOW NORMAL DAYTIME HIGHS
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. TEMPS WILL LIKELY REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL
LATE THIS WEEK.

A WEAK RIDGE WILL SHIFT EASTWARD INTO SATURDAY...WHERE ALL LONG
TERM GUIDANCE SHOWS A WEAK NEGATIVELY TILTED LOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR
A SHIFT TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW...WHICH COULD SPARK SOME SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AN APPROACHING FRONT WILL BRING THE CHANCE OF TSRA IMPACTS TO THE
MAINLY THE NORTHWEST MTNS OF PENN /THEN CENTRAL COUNTIES/ LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. LOOK FOR AN INCREASING TREND IN
SHRA/TSRA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS /MAINLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL
AND WRN PENN TAF SITES/ AS A SFC COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM OHIO.

AIRFIELDS WILL REMAIN MAINLY VFR THROUGH THE BULK OF THE TAF
PERIOD...BUT TEMPORARY REDUCTIONS IN VSBY AND CIGS WILL OCCUR
LATE TODAY...AND AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON IN THUNDERSTORMS.

FOR LATER TONIGHT...DECREASING WIND...AREAS OF CLEARING WILL
COMBINE WITH THE ABUNDANT LLVL MOISTURE AND SFC DEWPOINTS OF
65-70F TO CREATE AT LEAST PATCHY 2SM FOG.

OUTLOOK...
MON-MON NIGHT...NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSRA WITH MAINLY BRIEF PERIODS
OF IFR TO MVFR.

TUES-WED...THUNDERSTORM IMPACTS POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN THE
AFTERNOON AS ANOTHER SFC COLD FRONT...AND PRIMARY UPPER TROUGH
SLOWLY PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE STATE.

THU-FRI...NO SIG WX EXPECTED.

&&

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
