FOR NORTHERN WARREN COUNTY...

At 839 PM EDT, severe thunderstorms were located along a line
extending from near Jamestown West to 7 miles southwest of Frewsburg
to Russell to near Chapman State Park, moving northeast at 35 mph.

HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts and quarter size hail.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Hail damage to vehicles is expected. Expect wind damage to 
         roofs, siding, and trees.

be struck by lightning.

Torrential rainfall is also occurring with these storms, and may 
lead to flooding of poor drainage areas and some small streams. Do 
not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
333 PM EDT Mon Jul 16 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Very warm and humid weather will persist into Tuesday. Showers
and thunderstorms will precede a cold front which will move
through during the day on Tuesday. Canadian high pressure will
follow and bring a refreshing change back to much lower humidity
and near to slightly below normal temperatures for the second
half of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 2 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
Best convection so far is off the lake breeze just to our NW.
These are inching eastward thru time. The few cells which
managed to pop off the highest terrain have died quickly. They
were nearly motionless, so anything which can grow up through
the cap of warm air aloft could make very heavy rain. 91/72 here
at the office at 2 PM. Some of the hottest and muggiest we've
seen this summer.

Additional storms are expected to grow before sunset, but then a
short break later this evening and early tonight. Expect more
widespread convection to move in/develop over the NW after
midnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /2 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
A cold front will reach the northwest mountains around or very
shortly after sunrise Tuesday morning and take much of the
daylight hours to get past Lancaster Co. However, about half of
the area will be dry after 18Z. High PWAT air, increasing deep
layer shear (20-30 kt) and the cold front may lead to strong
thunderstorms depending on the amount of sunshine. SPC has
a portion of east Central PA in a marginal risk for severe. Most
likely timing for the strongest storms would be generally
during the afternoon hours when heating meets up with the front,
forcing and modest shear. Maxes will be highest in the SE, but
most places won't be more than 3-4F away from their normals.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Drier air and building pressure behind the cold front Tuesday
night into Wednesday helps clear things out and drop high
temperatures Wednesday about 5 degrees over Tuesday - but
biggest change will be that lowering dewpoints will make humidity
levels become notably more comfortable.

High pressure over PA Wednesday night will bring the coolest
morning of the week before it slided east off the coast on
Thursday. Flow aloft will shift from northwest to southwest and
surface winds will turn southeast. GFS hints at a marine layer
moving into lower Susq Thursday night and a return of higher dew
points may bring some patchy morning fog.

Next system slowly approaches by late Friday but stalls over the
Great Lakes as inverted trough develops on top of it. This
system will slowly work eastward into the Northeast over the
weekend bringing a return of unsettled weather. A weak low
center trying to form on the coastal front off the Carolinas
Saturday progged to move north to just of the Delmarva for
Sun/Mon, enhancing shower/tstm threat for eastern half of CWA.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A few showers/storms have popped up, but only a very few. BFD is
the terminal with the highest chc for a storm this evening. But,
JST and AOO are also close to some tall cu which have started on
the highest ridges. While some of the sun-supported storms will
die off, the larger-scale forcing and approach of a cold front
will keep isold-sct storms going through much of the night,
mainly in the NW. Not much fog is expected tonight with mild
temps and at least 50pct cloud cover in most places.

The cold front may reach KERI around sunrise and then slow a
little as it should take most of the day to get thru KLNS. But,
BFD should be dry aft 15Z and UNV/JST/AOO may be dry by 18Z.
Some storms with gusty winds and heavy rain are expected, mainly
in IPT, MDT and LNS where peak heating will meet up with
CFROPA. IFR is poss in any of the storms.

Drier and less humid conditions start Tues morning in the NW and
evening in the SE and last for the rest of the week.

.Outlook...

Wed-Fri...AM valley fog N, otherwise, no sig wx expected.

Sat...SHRA/TSRA poss vcty warm front.

&&

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