Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
407 PM EDT MON AUG 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper trough will drift slowly east across the state today,
supporting mainly scattered showers and thunderstorm into this
evening...mainly across the eastern half of Pennsylvania.

A ridge of high pressure at the sfc and aloft will build over the
commonwealth Tuesday through Thursday, accompanied by warm and
mainly dry weather. The surge of warm air will peak late in the
week ahead of a strong cold front. Ensemble model guidance shows
high confidence for cooler and drier air could moving in for the
weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to
develop the region into Early eyeing in ten warm and humid
airmass in place. Also helping to force convection is shortwave
trof moving east across into northern New England.

Stationary front along the PA/MD bordering helping to focus
strongest activity early should remain stalled in the region over
night.

Min temps Tuesday morning should be a bit cooler than this am, as
some drier/cooler air seeps in from the north.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
High pressure building over the region at the surface and aloft
will bring partly cloudy but dry conditions for tonight and
Tuesday...with still moderately high dewpoints ranging from the
upper 50s NW to mid and upper 60s in the southeast.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Latest runs of the operational models and ensemble means show
similar ideas for the large scale pattern through the period.
Compact shortwave system tracking east along the Canadian border
will suppress near-to-above average heights and eventually carve
out an upper level trough over eastern Canada and the Northeast
U.S. by the weekend. This system will also send a cold front
through the area Fri-Sat which will ultimately be the main focus
for convective rainfall during the period.

High pressure departing the New England coastal region should keep
a mainly dry pattern in place through midweek with isolated Tstorm
chances /20-30 POPs/ confined primarily along and west of the
Alleghenies near intersection of return-flow moisture/warm front
and terrain-induced lift.

Thunderstorms along and ahead of cold front progressing into the
area later Friday into Saturday may be on the strong side. Will
need to monitor SPC convective outlooks in the coming days for
more details. Current fropa timing in GFS/EC/CMC suggests central
PA may be in a somewhat of a void in storm coverage Friday night
into early Saturday, with the main convective risks focused more
over far northwestern and southeastern PA. This may change so stay
tuned. Behind the front, confidence is growing in an unseasonably
dry airmass pouring into the area with PWs dropping below normal
by early next week. This should also translate into lower and more
comfortable humidity along with cooler nighttime lows.

With an overall pattern that is fairly typical for August,
temperatures will likely be within 10F of climate normals. The
warmest days of the period will be Friday and Saturday. Heat
indices do not appear to be an issue with max values peaking in
the lower to mid 90s Friday/Saturday afternoon across the lower
Susq. Valley. Storms and frontal timing may impact max HX values.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to
develop the region into early eyeing in the warm and humid
airmass in place to the north of a stationary front along the
PA/MD border.

Most airfields will remain VFR through the evening unless
impacted by the storms. Exception will be over the lower
susq/KMDT and KLNS/ where lowered vsbys in haze will keep MVFR
conds in addition to the showers and thunderstorms.

OUTLOOK...

TUE...Am fog possible, mainly KBFD.

WED-THU...Patchy fog possible around dawn.

FRI...Isold pm tsra impacts possible western PA.

SAT...Psbl cold fropa with showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.CLIMATE...

July 2016 had a mean temperature of 76.8 degrees. This is the
8th warmest on record. This average temperature was warmer than
the 76.6 degrees set in July 1993. July 2011 and 2012 were also
