Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 2:45 PM EDT, 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 245 PM EDT Wed Jun 9 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Muggy conditions will continue to support isolated to scattered drenching downpours through late week. Cooler and more seasonable temperatures are expected Friday into next week with a lingering chance of showers and thunderstorms. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Early afternoon analysis indicates 850 mb theta-e axis still draped across south central PA, which is the focus for showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall from southwest Centre County through Clearfield and Jefferson Counties. The area continues to slowly settle south, but will need to be watched for stalling and training through the late afternoon. Elsewhere tropical-like air mass spawning numerous narrow updrafts throughout, with brief moderate-heavy downpours and isolated thunder accompanying each. Some cells along the NY border have been borderline severe with isold tree damage reported in Tioga County and some tall storms currently over Potter. Abundant moisture (PW 1-2") and 65-70F Td remains in place, while low level inflow and the mean 850-300mb wind are weak, maintaining localized heavy rainfall threat through early evening...with WPC ERO MRGL having been nudged northward to include all but east central/north central and northeast sections. Diurnal heating/instability should allow convection to concentrate mainly in the afternoon and evening hours. Convective coverage gradually fizzles and fades into tonight with lingering activity confined primarily to the southwest 1/2 of the CWA as aforementioned theta-e axis settles slowly WSW. Another mild and muggy night across most of the area with fcst minTs +10-15F above normal in the 60-70F range NW to SE. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY/... Another day of boundary focused showers and thunderstorms is expected for the Laurel Highlands and southern tier as quasistationary boundary lies across that area. Improving and drying conditions seen from north to south across northern and central areas with a noticeable difference in Td and cooler max temps, along with good decrease in shower coverage. Lower highs fcst on Thursday with 24hrMaxTChange trending 3-6F lower across the southeast 2/3 of the CWA. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... We will see a marked cooldown by Friday, as a backdoor cold front slips just south of the area. However, the front will remain close enough to keep a chc of showers in the forecast across southern PA. Heading into the weekend and early next week, expect temperatures to turn milder again. The weather will remain unsettled, although no single day looks like a washout, as a series of shortwaves drop southeastward across the northeastern United States. Scattered showers and storms are possible with each shortwave, but models differ on the exact timing and strength of the shortwaves. Have maintained at least a slight chc of showers and aftn thunder through the period. A more significant cold front is projected to cross the area by the middle of next week, ushering in cooler and drier conditions for the second half of next week. && .AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... At 18z, numerous showers and storms are popping up over the higher terrain of northern and western PA, and a few showers are beginning to develop over the Susq Valley as well. Expect SHRA/TSRA activity to continue to through the remainder of the day, and have VCTS at all TAF sites into this evening. Localized, brief restrictions are expected in any showers/storms and brief gusty winds are possible in the vicinity of any storms. Lingering SHRA/TSRA should diminish tonight. Patchy fog is possible tonight, especially in areas that receive rainfall today. Outlook... Thu-Mon...Predominantly VFR, although scattered showers/storms may cause brief restrictions, esp during the aftn/eve hours. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && SYNOPSIS...DeVoir/Steinbugl NEAR TERM...DeVoir/Steinbugl SHORT TERM...DeVoir/Steinbugl LONG TERM...Evanego AVIATION...Evanego
