AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 258 PM EDT TUE JUL 14 2015 .SYNOPSIS... A SLOW MOVING UPPER TROUGH AND CORRESPONDING WARM AND COLD FRONTS WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTHEAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL BRING A DRIER WEATHER PATTERN DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK BEFORE INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY RETURN FOR NEXT WEEKEND...ALONG WITH DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... CURRENT RADAR SHOWS STORMS FORMING ON A SHALLOW LINE FROM WARREN COUNTY THROUGH TO KAE ERIE...THIS LINE IS OUT AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND IS INCREASING IN STRENGTH. A DEEPER AND MORE THREATENING LINE IS EXTENDING FROM ERIE COUNTY THROUGH CENTRAL OHIO TO SOUTHWESTERN OHIO INTO INDIANA. THIS LINE WILL MOVE EASTWARD...ENTERING CENTRAL PA BETWEEN 4 TO 6 PM. CLOUDY SKIES HAVE REDUCED THE OVERALL DAYTIME MAX TEMPS...AND THE CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY. HOWEVER JOULES OF 2K SURFACE CAPE STILL EXIST THROUGH SOUTHWESTERN TO SOUTHCENTRAL PA. SPC HAS REDUCED CENTRAL PA TO A MARGINAL OUTLOOK. THOUGH OVERALL QPFS HAVE DECREASED...THE THREAT FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL REMAINS DUE TO CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY AND HIGH DEWPOINTS. CONSIDERING PORTIONS OF THE REGION REMAIN INUNDATED LOCALIZED FLOODING REMAINS POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHWEST. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY/...

SHOWERS WILL END OVER SOUTHERN/EASTERN AREAS BY 00Z THURSDAY AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES SEWD TOWARD THE MID ATLC COAST. BEHIND THE FRONT...A LARGE AREA OF BELOW NORMAL PW AIR WILL OVERSPREAD THE NORTHEAST AND MID ATLANTIC STATES FROM WED NGT THROUGH THURSDAY...ACCOMPANIED BY AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE MIGRATING EWD FROM SERN CANADA INTO THE N. ATLC OCEAN...WHICH WILL ENSURE DRY WX DURING THIS TIME. MUCH OF FRIDAY ALSO LOOKS DRY WITH A LOW RISK OF A LATE DAY SHOWER/TSTM ACROSS THE FAR WRN/NWRN ALLEGHENY MTNS. WED/THU NIGHTS WILL BE REFRESHINGLY COOL WITH LOWS IN THE MID 40S TO LOW 50S AND VALLEY FOG ACROSS THE NRN TIER. 500MB HEIGHTS SHOULD STEADILY REBOUND THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH VERY WARM/HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS FORECAST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

NRN STREAM S/WVS MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM THE WNW...ALONG WITH DIURNAL INSTABILITY...MAY BE A FOCUS FOR SHOWERS/TSTMS SAT- SUN.
