Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
843 PM EDT Wed Jun 19 2019

.SYNOPSIS...

An unsettled and stormy weather pattern will continue through
Thursday evening thanks to the close proximity of a slowly
meandering front. A pleasant and dry weekend is in store.
Temperatures will trend a little cooler than normal for Friday
and Saturday in the wake of a cold front. Warmer weather will
return next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...

The convection has been scattered about and locally heavy, but
most rain has been brief enough to cause only minor problems if
any at all.

The very humid airmass will remain in place overnight, and the
HRRR suggests the risk of showers/storms will continue. No real
organized feature is evident so it's hard to be specific with
timing and location, but the overall trend should be for the
activity to diminish in coverage over the next few hours, and
that seems to be the trend even now.

Convection rolling through central OH is brought into my
western zones right around sunrise. As it stands now the Flood
watch expires at 04Z/midnight. That seems reasonable, but
looking ahead to late night and Thursday morning, we may need a
new watch for additional heavy rain potential.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...

A distinct low center will develop and push into wrn PA in the
morning hours. This low is sub-1000mb and anomalously strong for
the beginning of Summer. It will push its southward trailing
cold front through during the afternoon and early evening. The
coincidence of the old west-east front, anomalously high PWATs,
and this decent long- wave trough + sfc low moving thru around
peak heating will generate thunderstorms. Some of them will
produce very heavy rainfall, and severe wind gusts/hail with as
increasing vertical shear and a veering/broad loop hodograph.

An isolated tornado or two is possible as well due to the
boundary/shear and low LCLs present - especially from the
KUNV/KIPT vicinity SE to the Lower Susq Valley.

The heavy rain will probably cause some flooding, but the
flooding threat area is not highly certain at this point. We may
need a flash flood watch for Thursday, but later shifts can
take a closer look. It's a little far out to post a watch just
yet.

The potent sfc low pressure center (~995 mb) should be over NE
PA by nightfall, and the cold front dragging down thru MDT. Wrap
around could make some sct SHRA over the W Thurs night, but it
will be drying out and getting a little gusty by Fri morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Breezy and drier/less humid conditions will arrive Thursday
night through Friday on the backside of the departing system.
Expect a break from the rain for 2-3 days with pleasant
conditions through the weekend before a surge in humidity
returns showers and storms to the forecast next week.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Showers continue to stream through the area. Thunderstorms are
beginning to subside with only isolated TSRA now, mainly
through the south and eastern portions of the region. Overall
VFR cigs and vsbys though passing showers are bringing MVFR to
brief periods of IFR vsbys in heavy rain. IFR is possible
overnight due to the light winds and the copious amounts of
moisture. So look for areas of fog/low stratus clouds similar to
early this Wednesday morning. Another round of showers and
thunderstorms will be possible late Thursday morning, early
Thursday afternoon.

.Outlook...

Thu...Rain/low cigs possible north. Scattered-numerous PM tsra
impacts likely Central and Southern PA.

Fri...AM low cigs possible W Mtns.

Sat-Sun...No sig wx expected.

&&

.CLIMATE...
Astronomical summer (solstice) begins Friday, June 21st at
1154AM EDT (1554 UTC).

&&
