The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS State College, PA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Mar 1, 3:14 PM EST, 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 1, 3:14 PM EST, 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 314 PM EST Thu Mar 1 2018 .SYNOPSIS... March will come in like a lion with a complex storm system set to impact central PA Thursday and Friday. The storm will bring a widespread soaking rain to the area which will change to snow from west to east tonight. Strong, gusty winds are also expected later tonight into Friday. Improving conditions are expected over the weekend with winds gradually subsiding by Saturday as high pressure builds into the area. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 11 PM THIS EVENING/... Minor adjustments to the area of showers into this afternoon. This based on radar. Interesting banding to the south earlier...with returns moving in 2 different directions. As of mid afternoon...a minimum in the rain has just moved north of the MD border. Adjusted the grids for this. Low pressure lifting east will reform off the coast overnight. Potential for heavy snow across the far north late. Also of concern is strong winds across the far southwest toward late evening...working east late...as the the low bombs just offshore. && .SHORT TERM /11 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... The upper level low will dig southeast overnight...as the low reforms to the east. Potential for strong winds...snow...and heavy rain. Strongest winds still looking to be across the south...while areas near the NY border will have the highest potential for heavy wet snow. Some area rivers will approach or exceed CS if fcst rain occurs. Not looking as bad as last week...where it was quite wet for many days. Thus no flood watch at this point. Big issue for snow accumulation will be rather mild temperatures. WPC mentioned that the NAM is a little too cold. Thus snow grids a little higher than earlier shifts...but did not want to go too high. Temps on Friday will stay nearly steady. Winds will slowly die down Friday Night. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Large low pressure moves further off the East Coast on Saturday, but breezy conditions and light rain/snow showers will linger. Conditions dry out Sunday into Monday, though Sunday could end up with a decent amount of cloud cover as a weak shortwave dives SE in upper flow. Next system and accompanying precip set to arrive on Tuesday mainly in the form of rain, though could mix with snow showers in the NE and other usually colder areas. Temps fall back to near normal for the weekend yet stay near or a bit on the mild side of climo early next week. && .AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Rain just starting to result in lower conditions during the last hour. The first big issue will be some snow late tonight across the far west. Main issue will be strong winds late tonight into Friday. Winds may gust to near 60 mph at times. Improving conditions for the weekend. Outlook... Sat...Windy early. Sun-Mon...No sig wx expected. && .CLIMATE... February 2018 will also go down as a top-5 wettest month at several sites in south central PA including locally with the wettest February at the State College COOP site on the PSU campus. Monthly climate products will be disseminated by early this afternoon. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
