Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 12:13 PM EDT, 3 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
1213 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DROP ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES TODAY AND SLIDE ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC INTO THE
MIDWEEK PERIOD. A WEAK FRONT WILL FOCUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WITH HEAVY RAIN OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA TODAY. A
SECOND AND MORE DEFINITIVE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SLOWLY ACROSS THE
COMMONWEALTH TUESDAY. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE
COMMONWEALTH FOR THE MID TO LATE WEEK PERIOD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SOUPY AIR SITTING OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH THICKENING/LAYERED
CLOUD COVER SPREADING QUICKLY NE AHEAD OF A WELL DEFINED UPPER JET
MAX AND WEAK SFC WAVE HEADING NE UP THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY.

A DISTINCT RELATIVE MIN IN PWAT /ONLY AROUND 0.75 OF AN INCH/ AND
SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER WAS NOTED ACROSS FAR NRN PENN AT
MIDDAY...WHILE NEARLY 2 INCH PWAT AIR WAS NOSING INTO SWRN
PENN...JUST TO THE SOUTH OF A WASHED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT
TRIGGERED SUNDAY/S SHOWERS AND TSRA.

WHILE THE WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER THROUGH MID AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH
OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PENN WILL ALLOW ON MINIMAL HEATING AND
MIXED LAYER INSTABILITY /CAPES ONLY ABOUT 500-1000 J/KG/...THE
VERY MOIST LLVLS /WITH PWATS AOB 2 INCHES/ AND BREAKS IN THE
CLOUD COVER ACROSS SCENT AND SERN PENN WILL ALLOW SFC BASED CAPES
TO RAMP UP TO THE 2000-3000 J/KG RANGE ACROSS SCENT PENN AND THE
LOWER SUSQ VALLEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

THE COLLOCATION OF THIS INSTABILITY WITH A BELT OF MDTLY STRONG
SWRLY 850 MB WINDS OF NEARLY 30 KTS WILL LEAD TO AN AREA OF EHI/S
OF UP TO 2.5 M2/S2 LIFTING NE ACROSS THE SERN ZONES LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING.

ALTHOUGH THE MAIN SVR THREAT TODAY WILL BE HEAVY RAIN AND STRAIGHT
LINE WIND GUSTS...ALONG AND TO THE S/E OF A JST/UNV/IPT LINE...A
FEW SUPERCELLS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SE WITH ONE OR TWO BRIEF
TORNADOES. LCLS TODAY WILL BE WELL UNDER 1 KM AGL IN MOST PLACES.

TEMPS SHOULD STAY A LITTLE COOLER TODAY THAN SUNDAY DUE TO MORE
CLOUD COVER AND THE PRECIP. IT WILL BE VERY HUMID.

THE REAL FRONT IS CURRENTLY DRAPED JUST N OF LAKE ERIE AND BACK
TOWARD CHICAGO. IT STARTS TO NUDGE INTO THE STATE LATER TODAY AND
THE LAKE BREEZE MAY ALSO HELP INITIATE SOME SHOWERS/STORMS IN THE
NW. COVERAGE THERE WILL BE LOWER THAN IN THE SE. MOST OF THE
STRONG SERN STORMS WILL BE PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST BEFORE 7
PM...BUT THEY MAY LINGER THROUGH 9-10 PM. SCT SHRA ARE THEN
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT DUE TO THE HUMID AIR AND POSSIBILITY OF
MANY MINOR BOUNDARIES LEFT UNDER NEUTRAL TO NEGATIVE FORCING. WILL
DIP POPS TONIGHT TO 30 PCT ON THE WHOLE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY/...
MODELS SEEM TO BE AGREEABLE ON THE MAJOR UPPER FEATURE OF NOTE ON
TUESDAY. THE UPPER TROUGH DOES CUT OFF AND MAKE A DIP TO 555DAM
AND IS CENTERED OVER SAGINAW BAY BY MID-DAY TUESDAY.
NOW...DEPENDING ON WHICH FLAVOR OF MODEL GUIDANCE YOU WISH TO
SAMPLE...THE MAIN/REAL COLD FRONT AT 18Z TUES WILL BE SOMEWHERE
FROM WESTERN PA TO OVER OUR EASTERN COUNTIES. THUS...CONFIDENCE
IN THE RE-DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS/STORMS DURING THE DAY IS
LOW...EXCEPT OVER THE EAST. THEREFORE...WILL HOLD THE LINE WITH
LIKELY POPS FOR THE ENTIRE DAYTIME...ESP IN THE EAST. THE STORMS
SHOULD PUSH TO THE EAST OF THE CWA AROUND SUNSET TUES. SEE HYDRO
SECTION FOR MORE. AFTER A MILD...MUGGY START TO THE DAY...MAXES
WILL BE EVEN COOLER THAN TODAY. PLACES IN THE NRN MTS MAY NOT GET
OUT OF THE 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
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 /16Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THICKENING CLOUD COVER WILL SPREAD NW ABOVE THE STUBBORN AREAS OF
LOWERED CIGS AND VSBYS PRESENT ACROSS THE CWA ATTM.

LOOK FOR AN INCREASING TREND IN SHOWERS AND TSRA THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON WITH FREQUENT MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS ACROSS THE SE HALF OF
PENN AND OCNL/BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS IN THE HEAVIER SHRA/TSRA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

KBFD WILL BE MAINLY VFR THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT...THOUGH SOME BRIEF
MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE.

MORE LOWERED CIGS AND AREAS OF FOG EXPECTED FOR LATE TONIGHT AND
EARLY TUESDAY AFTER TODAY/S EXPECTED WIDESPREAD RAIN...AND
PARTIAL CLEARING WITH LIGHT WIND AND LINGERING HIGH SFC DEWPOINTS
TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...
TUES...TSTM IMPACTS POSSIBLE.
WED-FRI...NO SIG WX EXPECTED.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
PROGGED MBE VECTORS TODAY IN THE SERN HALF OF THE AREA ARE FAIRLY
SHORT AS THE LLJET ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD COMPLEX SLIDES IN
FROM THE WSW. THESE 35-40KT WINDS SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY TO THE
NORTH OF THE TURNPIKE...AND LIFT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE MAXIMIZED IN
A CORRIDOR FROM CBE-HGR-MDT-ABE. MULTIPLE/TRAINING CELLS COULD
PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN WITH PWATS NEAR 2 INCHES. SOME OF THIS
AREA HAS RECEIVED TWO SHOTS OF HEAVY RAIN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF
DAYS...AND THE GROUND IS VERY WET. THE MOST-RECENT HEAVY RAIN HAS
NOT YET BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE LATEST FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE...SO
THE CURRENT GUIDANCE VALUES OF 2.5 TO 3 INCHES IN AN HOUR OVER
THE SE ARE MOST LIKELY TOO HIGH. THUS...HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR THE SERN THIRD OF THE REGION FOR TODAY/THIS EVENING.

THE MAIN FORCING MOVES TO THE EAST OF THE REGION THIS
EVENING...LEAVING A LULL IN THE HEAVY PRECIP TONIGHT AND EARLY
TUESDAY. ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE EXPECTED ON TUESDAY...BUT THE
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY MAY NOT BE QUITE AS HIGH AS TODAY.
THUS...HAVE LIMITED THE WATCH TO JUST TODAY. IF CONDITIONS
WARRANT...THE WATCH MAY BE EXTENDED INTO LATE TUESDAY OR AN
ADDITIONAL/SECOND WATCH MAY BE NECESSARY FOR TUESDAY.

&&

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR PAZ036-
056>059-063>066.
