Severe Thunderstorm Warning 191, NWS State College, PA

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
509 PM EDT Sat Jul 6 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front over Northwestern Pennsylvania late this afternoon
will push southeast across the remainder of the state late today
and tonight, reaching close to the MD border by sunrise Sunday.
Locally heavy rain and gusty winds are expected from
thunderstorms developing ahead of this frontal boundary this
afternoon and evening. The cold front will move only slowly
southward on Sunday and Monday. The air will dry out noticeably
over the northern half of the state on Sunday, but still feel a
little humid in the south. High pressure centered to our north
will continue to bring in drier air in for the first half of the
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT/...
Several BKN lines of strong to locally severe TSRA were moving
fairly quickly to the ESE along and just ahead of a cold front.

Outflow boundary were outpacing the briefly the line segments
in most locations. However better shear/buoyancy balance in a
few spots were helping to form some very tall cores with radar
indicating some localized hail in excess of 3/4 inch and wet
microbursts/mini bow echoes.

Very high PWAT air averaging 1.75 to 2 inches across the CWA
will help fuel the TSRA with enough juice to bring the potential
for locally torrential rain over over 2 inches within just a 30
minute period where some temporary training occurs. FFG values
on the 1-3 hour timeframe are 1.5 to 2 inches across portions of
our Western while guidance is near or over 3 inches across much
of the Central mtns and Susq Valley, so there's less of a flash
flooding concern there.

Flash Flood Watch is in effect across the western mtns through
04Z Sunday.

SPC MRGL risk also has been carried forward to Day 1. Freezing
level is around 13-15KFT AGL so large hail is not a significant
threat, but localized wet microbursts could occur beneath the
collapsing taller cores in the TSRA, especially across the north
where 0-3km bulk shear will be somewhat stronger at 25-30 kts.

Heat index will be in the 90s in the SE half of the area, with
temps in the u80s to lower 90s. The NW that had the earlier
convection still experienced max temps in the low-mid 80s.

By sunset, the storms should be drifting to the south of UNV-
IPT. As usual, the SE will storms last a little longer into the
night with the sfc front/trough and some lift ongoing at sunset.
But, the convection will become less numerous as we approach
midnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MIDNIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
The drier air will lag a little behind the back of the main
batch of convection. There will probably be some showers over
the nrn mtns as the real push of dry air goes through in the
late evening and early night. The dewpoints and PWATs should
begin to fall off gradually - but only for the north tonight.
The dry air will have trouble getting down to the Turnpike as
the front hangs up just to the south of the state on Sunday and
perhaps into Monday.

Deepening East to NE flow Sunday afternoon and evening will
maintain fairly thick and layered cloud cover with a likelihood
of showers across at least the southern tier counties and
scattered showers with plenty of clouds lingering even as far
north as the I-80 corridor.

Min temps tonight will dip to near 60F in the nrn tier, but
hang in the 70s in the S.

Considering the developing East-NE flow in the wake of the
sagging cfront, weighted max temps as a blend of the NBM and NAM
which led to slightly cooler values than contained in the
previous forecast.

More sun in the north (after some morning low clouds and fog)
should help temps get back to the mid-u70s on Sunday, and most
other places will be back into the upper 70s and low 80s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The long term period begins with a quasi stationary boundary
just sound the Commonwealth. This will bring drier air through
the northern half of the state. However, the stalled boundary
should maintain a low chance for afternoon/early evening showers
through Monday. Fairly dry weather will dominate through the
first half of the week. Higher humidity never makes it very far
to our south and it will gradually return northward into
central PA later next week. Along with increasing humidity will
come the potential for diurnal convection.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Updated TAFS several times for ongoing showers and storms.
Some storms with gusty winds between 30 and 40 mph.

Earlier discussion below.

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to push
southeast late this afternoon and evening in advance of a cold
front pushing southeast from the eastern Great Lakes. Locally
heavy downpours will lead to brief IFR/LIFR vis, with a few
areas of strong west-northwest wind gusts across the Susquehanna
Valley airfields through 23Z.

Lingering showers/storms should fade into tonight with a
general drying trend from north to south expected into Sunday.
A light wind should lead to areas of 1/2SM fog formation with a
stratus deck forming late tonight and lasting through the mid
morning hours Sunday. The low clouds could linger until around
Noon over the far southwest airspace.

.Outlook...

Sun...Low Cigs likely across the southern half of the state
Sunday morning. Numerous showers likely southern airfields, with
isolated PM t-storms possible across the srn 1/4 of PA.

Mon...AM valley fog nrn 1/2. Isolated PM t-storms possible srn
1/3.

Tue...Isolated PM t-storms possible srn 1/3.
