Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
332 PM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm and more humid conditions will prevail for the rest of
today until a strong cold front pushes east through the region
tonight, bringing cooler and drier conditions for the weekend.
Unseasonably cool weather will continue into early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
Instability continuing to increase in the warm and humid airmass
and some of the stronger cells (occurring mainly in small
clusters so far) have had cores of 50 dbz a few kft above the
-20C level with borderline large hail and a few instances of
 localized wind damage in the form of downed trees.

Severe TSRA watch #439 in effect until 01Z Sat for all but 4 of
our SE CWA counties.

The latest several runs of the RAP13 continue to paint
an area of increasing 0-1km EHI working its way gradually nwd
across the lower and mid Susq Valley during the afternoon hours.
although most cells occurring in that area now appear sub-
severe, the enhanced southerly LLJ (and apparent highest ML cape
in the CWA of 2000+ J/kg) has resulted in some reports of wind
damage just to the west and north of KCXY over the past hour or
so.

The focus from now until the CFROPA tonight will be on areas of
increasing low-mid level shear and small areas of EHIs
exceeding 2 m2/s2 (mainly across the nrn and eastern parts of
the CWA, where the near sfc wind remains backed to the SE or
SSE, helping to enhance llvl theta-e convergence and updraft/EHI
strength). These values of EHI will support some isolated
supercells with a chc for an isolated EF0/EF1 tornado.

The other threat from the SHRA/TSRA will be at least some
localized poor drainage flooding and minor stream flooding as
there are several areas of low 1-hour FFG just a tad over one
inch, thanks to small pockets of recent very heavy rainfall.

Little change made to temps for the rest of this afternoon,
while pops were adjusted upward slightly in most areas to
the likely and categorical range.

Storms will persist for a few hours after dark (01-06z Sat)
given the degree of large-scale ascent with vigorous upper
level system and timing of the seasonably strong surface cold
front. A blend of WPC/NBM QPF depicts a zone of 0.50-1.00 inch
rainfall amounts along/ahead of cold FROPA ending 06z Sat with
localized 1.5 to 2.5 inch amounts (especially across the Susq
Valley and Ncent mtns.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
Following the cold front, Saturday will turn significantly
cooler with just the chance of a few showers/thunderstorms as
the still strong mid summer sun and relatively cold air aloft
combine to support steepening lapse rates with daytime heating.
With the upper shortwave expected to begin shearing out to our
north, models suggest the best chance for a shower will be over
the higher elevations of the west and north.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High pressure builds over central PA with a cool Sunday morning
lows from the upper 40s in the northern tier to the mid 50s in
the south. Sunny and dry in the east as the high center slides
off the coast. Some clouds in the west with a slight chance of
showers in the afternoon over the mountains and northwest. This
is as the ridge breaks down and weak short-waves move east in
the flow. Increasing chances for showers into the evening and
overnight into Monday. Some thunder possible mainly Monday
afternoon. High temps Sunday and Monday in the 70s.

Low and front crosses PA monday and off the coast Monday night
with diminishing POPs. Just a slight chance of lingering showers
Tuesday in the Northeast and Poconos and Southwest Laurel
Mountains. High pressure and cooler air moves in by Tuesday
night into Wednesday morning with lows again in the 50s most
areas. Just a slight chance of a shower in the Laurel Mountains
Wednesday afternoon. Next system increases chances for rain
moving back into Central PA wednesday night into Thursday. With
a chance of showers or thunderstorms lingering into Friday.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
some additional heating for the mid to late afternoon should
continue to gradually expand the areal coverage of convection
across the entire area. More certain timing for TSRA will be
late in the aftn and through the entire evening as a strong
cold front approaches from the west and is preceded by a few
compact mid/upper level jet maxes.

The timing of the cold frontal passage late tonight across the
Susq Valley and points east will mean the likelihood of
shra/sctd TSRA lingering from KMDT and KLNS...north to KIPT.

Will knock the mentions of thunder out after 04Z over the west
and 09Z east.

.OUTLOOK...
Sat-Sun...No sig wx.
Mon...Showers likely, chance of thunderstorms.
Tue...Chance of showers.

&&

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
