Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
729 PM EDT Wed Jun 13 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A frontal system will move through the region today. Several
days of dry and pleasant weather will follow for Thursday into
the weekend. Mid summer-like heat and humidity will build in for
Sunday and Monday before another cold front cools things down
for the middle of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
SVR Watch #175 in effect until 11 PM EDT for my northern tier
counties...

High shear low CAPE environment over central and northern PA at
this hour as right entrance region of strong ULJ, and cold
front passing and moving into deep layer shear of 35-55kt.
Spinners occurring west of the Alleghenies, but cells have
continually weakened as they traverse east of the Allegheny
crest. Given impressive shear profile and rotating storms to our
west, earlier SVR Watch which covered just the far north was
accompanied by a companion watch covering the remainder of my
area sans the southeast. Best looking storms at this hour in my
CWA are pushing across Potter and Tioga. Fast moving line may
garner a severe warning shortly.

Showers should wind down pretty rapidly after sunset this
evening with most of the HREF members showing the convection to
have ended over all but perhaps the extreme SE zones. Drier air
will filter in pretty rapidly making for a comfortable night for
sleeping over most of the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
Thursday looks like it will be a bright day with just a few flat
cu and a gusty NW breeze. Highs will vary from around 70 along
the NY border to around 80 near the Mason-Dixon line.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As high pressure builds in from the Midwest, cooler and drier
conditions will continue through Friday. By Saturday the surface
ridge axis will drift to our east and eventually off the Mid
Atlantic coast, helping bring moderating temperatures and a
notable increase in humidity. The ECENS and GEFS are in good
agreement with a surge in the upper heights for the late
Saturday through early Monday timeframe, bringing warm and humid
conditions to end the weekend and to start the new week.
Sunday's highs will be pushing 90s over the SE third, with temps
peaking Monday in the lower 90s. Overnight lows will also be
very mild/muggy with readings likely hanging in the 70s over the
Susq Valley both Sunday night and Monday night. Temps across
the north also potentially quite warm, but could be tempered by
cloud debris from likely MCS development off to our W/NW.

The mention of a thunderstorm re-enters the forecasts for
Saturday night into Sunday with the hint of some sort of MCS
rotating over the top of the ridge in the increasing
heat/humidity. I leaned toward fairly low POPS for Sunday and
Monday. Mid level temps in the GFS and ECMWF are forecast to be
quite warm leading me to suspect that if this pans out, the
convection will be isolated at best. Monday may present the
better chance of the two days with the indication a
shortwave/cold front could enter the picture before the day is
over.

Scattered showers/tstms hang around on Tuesday as trough to our
north slowly drops southward. Temps/humidity then trends
gradually downward into midweek.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Updated the TAFS as of 5 PM, for some adjustment for timing
of showers and storms. Some small areas of showers and storms
just to the west of Clearfield, main area over Lake Erie.

The area mainly in the warm sector now, and VFR across most of
the area.

Earlier discussion below.

Murky, drizzly MVFR to occasionally IFR conditions prevail
across the central mountains this afternoon. High-res short term
models continue to indicate a line of SHRA and TSRA to cross the
region later this afternoon into evening.

Tried to time this event as well as not bring conditions down
too far as current cloud and drizzle may cap the atmoshpere from
realizing enough instability for large storms.

Once the frontal boundary sweeps through the area overnight,
conditions will improve to good VFR although there may be a
brief period of MVFR fog around sunrise.

There will clear skies tomorrow but northwest winds will
increase through the morning hours with gusts to 25 to 30 kts
through the afternoon.

.Outlook...

Thu night...Winds diminishing under clear skies.

Fri-Sun...No sig wx expected.

Mon...Chance of showers and storms, mainly north and west.

&&

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