Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 3:20 PM EDT, 1 hour 53 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
320 PM EDT SAT AUG 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and Humid weather will persist across Central Pennsylvania
through Sunday. Warm and muggy overnight tonight followed by Excessive
heat conditions again in the lower to middle Susquehanna Valley
again on Sunday. Heat indices of 100 to 108 degrees are expected during
the afternoon and early evening.The heat and humidity will
continue to support scattered thunderstorms. Storms may produce
frequent lightning and heavy rainfall with the risk for some
localized flooding.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Scattered storms across the region this afternoon with dew points
in the in 70s. Heat indices were in the 100 to 105 range over the
Lower and middle Susquehanna Valley until some locations saw
temperatures drop from thunderstorms. Muggy conditions again
tonight. High Dew point temperatures continue in the 70s. Little
relief for those without AC tonight. Convective allowing models
continue isolated to scattered convection though about 06z. With
the high humidity, there has been a lot of cloud to ground
lightning strikes with these storms. Very weak frontal boundary
to drop southeast from the Great Lakes washes out. Still it may be
helping to keep some of the convection going.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
General pattern continues with the upper level ridge off the
Southeast Coast and a trough over the Upper MS Valley. A warm
humid southwest flow continues into PA with short-waves moving
through. Hence the hot muggy pattern with scattered thunderstorms
will continue. Excessive heat warning for the Lower Susq Valley to
Harrisburg continues with a Heat Advisory for counties surrounding
that up to Williamsburg and west out to Franklin County.

With the washed out frontal boundary and high PWs there remains a
concern for heavy rain and localized flooding if storms stall or
multiple storms move across the same location.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Storms will be more isolated Monday with weak ridging over the
area. Heavy downpours still possible in storms but lower chances
than Sunday. Dew points will be about 5 to 10 degrees lower and
high temperatures will not be in the 80s and hence the heat
indices will not be as high. Should feel a bit more comfortable
for people.

Warm front returns Tuesday with another short-wave moving
northeast out of the Ohio Valley. Likely to see scattered
thunderstorms across central PA with warm and humid conditions
back. High temperatures will not be as high as the last few days
though. Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible each day from
Wednesday into Saturday with Friday having the lowest chances.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
scattered thunderstorms across the region with local heavy rain
and gusty winds producing brief IFR condition. Outside of storms
it is generally VFR. Storms will diminish overnight but isolated
storms are still possible. Some areas of light fog and haze is
likely overnight particularly in areas that recieved a good rain.
Sunday looks to be a repeat. A cold front could bring drier air
in by late Monday, which would decrease the chance of convection
by then.

Outlook...

Fri-Mon...Localized restrictions in scattered to numerous mainly
afternoon shra/tsra.

Tue...Patchy fog possible early...otherwise mainly VFR.

&&

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Heat Advisory until 6 PM EDT Sunday for PAZ028-036-046-049>053-
056-058-063-064.
Excessive Heat Warning until 6 PM EDT Sunday for PAZ057-059-
