Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
258 PM EDT Fri Jun 23 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
The combination of an approaching frontal system and the
remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy will funnel a plume of deep
tropical moisture into the region today and tonight.
The cold front will push east across the region during the
morning Saturday, followed by drier and cooler air with
comfortable humidity that will last through much of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Showers are becoming more numerous once again as the leading
edge of the deep plume of tropical moisture begins to nose into
western PA.

Additionally on the southern edge of the clouds over the lower
Susq Valley, temperatures have warmed into the 80s. Combined
with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s, ML CAPEs have cooked up
to between 500 and 1000J. Moderate to strong deep layer shear
also is supporting a large area of EHI's over 1 m2s-2, with
much of the lower Susq in excess of 2 m2s-2. So before the heavy
rain threat evolves, we could be dealing with severe storms
with the potential for supercells. SPC has expanded their Slight
Risk to cover much of SRN PA as a result. A Severe Thunderstorm
Watch has been issued for much of southern PA.

Analysis shows PWATs exceeding 2" (2-4 sigma) in a wide plume
from the Louisiana Gulf Coast up into central PA, and moisture
transport vectors indicate a continued advection of this
tropical airmass into our region.

With the convection starting to surge into the area, the
remainder of the afternoon into the evening will just see an
increase in the extent and intensity of the rain. QPF on the
order of 1.00" to 2.50" looks reasonable with the usual embedded
areas of higher amounts which could cause flooding. The most
vulnerable area looks to be the Laurels where instability will
combine with terrain bringing enhanced lift causing localized
heavier amounts. As a result we have issued a Flash Flood Watch
for our SWRN 4 counties.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY/...
Conditions will improve rapidly Saturday morning as the deep
moisture speeds eastward. NHC expects whatever is left of Cindy
to be on the MD coast by 8AM so the best of the rain will be
over with drier air sweeping in behind the departing low and
cold front.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Models have trended toward much better agreement with the
evolution of the seasonably strong large scale upper trough over
the Eastern U.S. A couple of shortwave impulses reflecting weak
surface fronts or troughs will provide a limited/mainly diurnal
opportunity for widely scattered showers/isolated low- topped
thunderstorms Sunday-Tuesday. However, much of the this period
will be pleasant and dry with below normal PW supporting low
humidity and below normal temperatures relative to late June
climatology.

The trough is fcst to lift out and leave a more zonal pattern by
the middle of the week, followed by a resurgence of the
Southeast U.S. upper ridge. Models and ensembles show the ridge
breaking down in the west as a trough shifts east across the
Rockies into the Plains. Southerly flow increasing ahead of its
attendant frontal system should result in an upward/warmer trend
in temperatures accompanied by low level moisture/humidity.
Expect max/min temps to get back to seasonal levels around
midweek and likely reaching above normal levels by next Friday.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Widespread MVFR/IFR remains in place across central PA this
aftn, as the remnants of TS Cindy make their way across the
area. Showers are moving in from the west, some with locally
heavy downpours and sudden reductions in vsby. Thunderstorms
should develop as well, especially across srn PA where the sun
has come out. Storms may contain gusty winds.

Showers/storms will persist into this eve and tonight, with
localized downpours remaining likely. This will result in
significant reductions in both vsbys and cigs.

Gradual improvement to VFR is expected area-wide on Saturday,
as the system pulls east of the region.

.OUTLOOK...

Sat...Scattered restrictions in AM showers...otherwise
becoming VFR.

Sun...Mainly VFR.

Mon-Tue...Mainly VFR, but with a chance of SHRA/TSRA.

Tue-Wed...VFR.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
KCCX radar will be offline for approximately 4 days starting
Saturday, June 24th for technicians to install the first of 4
major service-life extension upgrades. The work on the radar has
been scheduled to minimize potential impacts to operations and
will be delayed if hazardous weather is forecast.

&&

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Flash Flood Watch from 6 PM EDT this evening through late
tonight for PAZ024-025-033-034.
