AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA
200 AM EDT SAT APR 2 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
MUCH COLDER WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND...WITH RAIN SHOWERS
CHANGING TO SNOW SHOWERS TONIGHT. COLD AND DRY SUNDAY...WITH THE
NEXT SYSTEM EXPECTED ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD...REMOVED POPS AND MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO
CLOUD COVER. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN UPDATED WITH A BLEND OF HIRES
GUIDANCE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
A FAST MOVING AND STRONGER SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH LATE IN THE
DAY. INITIALLY THE PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN AS RAIN...BUT WILL
CHANGE OVER TO SNOW FROM NORTH TO SOUTH TONIGHT AS STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL RAPIDLY ENSUE BEHIND THE EXITING SYSTEM.

THERE SHOULD BE BE SOME ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE FAR NORTH
TONIGHT...BUT AT THIS POINT CANNOT GET A FIRM GRIP ON AMOUNTS DUE
TO THE WARM GROUND AND HOW FAST THE SNOW SHOULD END THERE. THERE
WILL ALSO BE ACCUMULATIONS OVER THE RIDGES WHERE AN ENHANCEMENT
TO SNOW SHOWERS IS POSSIBLE THANKS TO THE VERY COLD AIR...WHICH IS
PUSHING THE SNOW GROWTH ZONE DOWNWARD INTO THE SATURATED LAYER AND
AN IMPRESSIVE UPSLOPE FLOW SETTING UP. FOR CURRENT FORECAST...WILL
GO WITH A GENERAL 1-2 INCHES ACROSS THE NORTH AND 2-3 IN THE
RIDGES.

WITH THE ENTIRE SYSTEM MOVING SO QUICKLY THROUGH THE UPPER OHIO
VALLEY...EXPECT THE BULK OF THE SNOW SHOWERS TO END LATE TONIGHT.
MODELS ARE PICKING UP ON THIS RATHER WELL...INDICATING A
STABILIZING OF THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE AND ALSO MUCH DRIER AIR
OVERSPREADING THE REGION. AGAIN...THE EXCEPTION WOULD BE ACROSS
THE RIDGES...FOR REASONS MENTIONED EARLIER.

I THINK THE MAIN WIDESPREAD CONCERN IS WIND. MODELS CONTINUE TO
SHOW VERY STRONG WINDS ABOVE THE SURFACE RAPIDLY MIXING DOWN IN
THE COLD AIR ADVECTION...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT. LAPSE RATES ARE QUITE
IMPRESSIVE AS ARE THREE HOUR PRESSURE RISES. MODELS ARE SHOWING
PRESSURE RISES OF GREATER THEN 5MBS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA
TONIGHT...WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF AND
RIDGES. IN ESSENCE...THE MODELS ARE INDICTING THE VERY WINDY
ATMOSPHERE ALOFT...SLAMMING TO THE SURFACE TONIGHT. WITH ALL OF
THESE INDICATORS...THINK THAT A WIND ADVISORY IS NEEDED ACROSS
THE ENTIRE AREA TONIGHT...WITH A WARNING IN THE RIDGES.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MORNING SNOW SHOWERS IN THE RIDGES...SUNDAY
WILL BE DRY BUT COLD WITH PERIODS OF SUNSHINE.

THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL RAPIDLY APPROACH THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. WARM
ADVECTION IS EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...WITH PRECIPITATION
OVERSPREADING THE AREA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING.
LOOKING AT CRITICAL LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES AND BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPERATURES...PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY BEGIN AS SNOW SHOWERS
ACROSS THE NORTH...BUT WOULD EXPECT MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE AREA TO
SEE RAIN SHOWERS...IN THE WARMER AIR MASS.

THE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH ON MONDAY AND EXPECT ANOTHER
SHOT OF STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND IT MONDAY AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES ARE BASED ON A GUIDANCE BLEND.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A FAIRLY ACTIVE PATTERN WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE LONG TERM
PERIOD. THE EASTERN U.S. WILL REMAIN IN A MEAN TROUGH INTO TUESDAY
WITH CONTINUED TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS BETWEEN BELOW NORMAL AND
NORMAL VALUES.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
EXPECT PREVAILING VFR AT MOST TERMINALS THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT
MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO DVLP IN THE WEAK COOL FLOW TO THE NORTH
OF PIT IN THE WAKE OF THE RAIN-SUPPORTING EVE DISTURBANCE...AS PER
THE LATEST SHORT-CONSENSUS GUIDANCE.

A RETURN OF VFR IS ANTICIPATED ON SATURDAY...UNTIL THE NEXT FAST MOVING
LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES TOWARD LATE AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...WIND GUSTS
OF 25 TO 35 KTS ARE FORECAST ONCE AGAIN IN THE RETIGHTENED PRES GRADIENT
IN ADVN OF THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW.

.OUTLOOK /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
PERIODIC RESTRICTIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE
AREA UNDR BROAD UPPER TROUGHING.

&&
