Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
1211 PM EDT Tue May 30 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level trough will remain centered over southeast Canada
and the northeast conus through the next week. With the
exception of Thursday, shortwaves rotating through the trough
will bring unsettled weather with frequent opportunities for
showers.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Mother nature has already given us a peek at the cards she's
playing as earlier radar echoes with a few low-topped tsra
exhibited some weak llvl rotation near a distinct and quasi
stnry boundary between overcast skies/low stratus across the SE
half of the state, and warmer air with partly sunny skies across
the central and western part of the CWA.

Within the Central third of the state and SPC's Slight Risk area
will be a rather narrow north/south belt where there's a high
prob for sfc based capes to exceed 1000 j/kg with localized max
capes around 2000 j/kg that will fuel some fairly strong
updrafts and discrete TSRA cells.

Preferred storm type based on 1) model hodographs, 2) EHI
values of 1-2 m2/s2 and 3) several runs of the HRRR indicate
that short/bowing line segments and supercells will occur
between the rt 219 corridor and Interstate 81 this afternoon
into very early this evening (with the target area between the
I-99/rt220 and the wrn edge of the stratus deck across the SE
half of the CWA).

In addition to the threat for localized damaging wind gusts and
a few instances of large hail with the expected supercells,
there is the potential for one or two EF0-EF1 tornadoes based on
the strength of the LLVL shear within the region bounded by
a line from KBFD-KFIG-KAOO-KHGR-KIPT-KELM.

Max temps will be in the mid to upper 70s throughout the
South Central PA Valleys just east of the Allegheny front, and
lower 70s elsewhere across the Ncent/NW mtns and Laurel
Highlands. The Susq Valley and Western Poconos will struggle to
make it to the mid and upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Convection is expected to die out pretty quickly around 00Z
this evening, as showers/storms encounter more stable
environment across eastern Pa and shortwave lifts northeast into
New Eng. Additional weak shortwave energy is progged to rotate
through tonight. However, only very marginal instability will be
left over, resulting in only isold showers after midnight.
Partial clearing, wet ground and light wind will likely result
in patchy fog overnight across much of the region.

Next in series of shortwaves is progged to swing through the
region Wednesday, accompanied by scattered showers/storms
occurring mainly during the afternoon. Despite lack of much
CAPE, strong mid level flow and associated 0-6km shear could
support organized convection with the threat of damaging wind
gusts in a few locations. Well mixed soundings and mean 850mb
temps of 8-12C should translate to max temps from the mid 60s
over the highest terrain of the Alleghenies, to the upper 70s
across the Lower Susq Valley.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
There is fairly strong model consensus for a mostly sunny/dry
Thursday, as surface ridge and associated low PWAT air mass
builds across the region. In the longer range, persistent upper
level trough over southeast Canada and the northeast conus will
dominant our wx pattern Fri-Mon, producing frequent
opportunities for showers and temperatures around to slightly
below normal.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
IFR-LMVFR ceilings expected to persist for much of the day
across the eastern TAFs in ZNY sector.

Periods of MVFR cigs across the central third of the state with
larger breaks in the clouds and generally sct-bkn vfr cigs over
western PA helping to fuel another band or two of developing
TSRA.

The most likely timing for scattered strong to severe storms
will be 17-22z along/ahead of weak surface front pushing east
across the airspace.

included a few 2-4hr MVFR TEMPO group for sites to the west of
the Susq River to account for the approx timing of individual
bands of convection. This may need to be enhanced with the
18z TAF issuance.

It is still unclear how much the shallow bkn-ovc low clouds
will impact tstm risk as storms push east over ZNY sector and
have opted for shra (vs -tsra) as the primary weather type at
KMDT and KLNS due to limited instability, with a tempo TSRA
group at KIPT til 19Z then VCTS afterward until 23Z.

The models seem to be in agreement with patchy fog/low stratus
redeveloping tonight especially over the eastern 1/2 of the
airspace with restrictions possible into Wednesday morning.

.OUTLOOK...

Wed...AM Low cigs psbl ern 1/3. PM Isold-sct strong/svr storms
psbl.

Thu...AM fog/low cigs psbl wrn 1/2.

Fri-Sat...Periods of sub-VFR likely with showers and
thunderstorms.
