What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning 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 winter storm warning went out at Feb 19, 12:00 PM EST, 2 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 19, 12:00 PM EST, 2 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 1200 PM EST Tue Feb 19 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A winter storm will bring significant snow and ice to central Pennsylvania on Wednesday. Dry and windy weather is forecast Thursday, with fair weather continuing into Friday. The next weather system will return precipitation to the area over the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... A sprawling area of high pressure (1040 mb) stretched from northern PA to Wisconsin late this morning, with varying amounts of thin cirrus streaming NE across the Commonwealth. High clouds will thicken-up from the southwest early tonight. Mid afternoon max temperatures will range from the mid 20s across the north to the mid 30s in the south. The lack of wind under the dome of high pressure will make it feel a bit warmer in the sun and compared to Monday with the brisk wind. maxT departures today will be 5 to 10 degrees. Clouds will gradually lower and thicken tonight as high pressure retreats into New England. A strong llvl cold air damming signature will develop east of the Alleghenies south of the high center. Hires models and ensembles spread WAA front- end snow into the Laurel Highlands and south central mtns by daybreak Wednesday with slippery travel for the AM commute. The leading/northern edge of the snow shield will be near the RT 22/322 corridor in South-Central PA around 12Z Wednesday. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... *Snow and icy mix will result in travel disruptions Wednesday into Wednesday night The CAD pattern will set the stage for significant snow and ice event for south-central PA on Wednesday. Strong low-level theta-e advection of rich GOMEX moisture and favorable mid to upper level dynamics will support a broad area of wintry precip overspreading the area Wednesday morning. A burst of heavy snow appears likely on the front-end with rates 1 in/hr possible supported by strong upper divergence and low-mid level FGEN. Hires model data and NBM maxTw aloft indicate that snow will transition to an icy mix of sleet and freezing rain during the afternoon/evening before ending (possibly as freezing drizzle) late Wednesday night. While we are confident in the overall evolution of the winter storm with changing ptypes from snow to icy mix, the advancement of the warm nose will play a key role in the duration (and therefore amount) of snow vs. ice. This continues to make for a tricky forecast and is the main reason we decided to ride the watch for one more cycle. Storm total snow and ice amounts did increase by an inch or two especially between the PA Turnpike and I-80. The heaviest snow shifted to the east over the southern tier Alleghenies adjacent to the MD line centered on Bedford/Fulton/Franklin Counties. Any lingering precipitation should end Thursday as increasing westerly flow directs drier air into the area. High pressure builds in for Thursday night. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... Dry wx continues on Friday before the next Plains-Great Lakes storm system spreads precipitation back into the area over the weekend. The storm track/pattern looks somewhat similar to the midweek event, but with stronger/primary low and weaker sfc high/CAD. This would favor zr or plain (soaking?) rain but will wait and see how the ptype details evolve in the coming days. Temperatures could get quite mild and break into the 50s on Sunday before turning breezy and cooler by early next week. && .AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... A large area of high pressure will maintain a near certainty of VFR conditions and light winds over the entire region for this afternoon through much of tonight. High clouds thicken up and lower to a widespread altostratus ceiling based between 8-10 kft agl between 05-10Z Wednesday, before lowering to widespread LIFR/VLIFR cigs and vsbys in moderate to occasionally heavy snow between 13-19Z Wednesday. Conditions will remain IFR or lower late Wednesday through most or all of Wednesday night as warmer/slightly above freezing air streams in aloft from the south and changes the snow to MDT to HVY sleet, then periods of lighter freezing rain late wednesday afternoon and night. Outlook... Wed...Snow (ocnly heavy during the late morning and early afternoon) changing to to a wintry mix, then mainly freezing rain before nightfall. Thu...AM light freezing rain/low cigs possible. Fri...AM low cigs possible W Mtns. Sat...PM rain/low cigs possible. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Watch from Wednesday morning through late Wednesday night for PAZ027-028-056>059-063>066.
