Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
251 PM EDT Sun Aug 1 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and storms will quickly taper off from west to east
this evening, as a cold front moves to the east and south of the
area.

Weak high pressure building into the area from upper midwest
will bring cooler and drier conditions to the area on Monday and
most of Tuesday.

Low pressure over the southeast states may bring some showers
and storms to the area later in the week.

Temperatures will start the month slightly below average before
trending warmer later in the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Showers and storms will taper off from west to east by early
evening.

Adjustments made to the forecast and HWO product, as per SPC
outlook for this aft. Main change was an increase in concern for
strong to severe winds with storms this afternoon across north
central PA. Showers and storms moving just north of east, at
about 35 knots, so not seeing a threat of flooding. Limiting
factor is dewpoints not expected to be all that high. Main
support is a rather strong upper level trough moving across the
region for the first day of August. Most of the activity will be
between 18 and 00Z.

Below normal temps to start August 2021 with departures of
5 to 10 degrees below normal in some spots.

Showers/storms exit to the east after 00Z with post-frontal NW
flow likely bringing low clouds to parts of the Alleghenies late
tonight into early Monday morning. Drier/low PW air will set
the stage for another refreshingly cool night with lows 50-60F.

I did edge low temperatures down a little tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY/...
Very pleasant and comfortable start to the work week under the
influence of high pressure. Max temps will be mainly in the 70s
with low humidity.

Early week max/min temperatures are forecast to remain below
average for the most part.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Series of cool nights continues with minT likely bottoming
Monday night especially in the northern tier with usual cold
spots in the 40s.

The middle and end of the week may become more unsettled with
an upper trough over the eastern US and a stationary front near
the East Coast. The best chance of showers and storms will
remain closest to where the stationary boundary sets up, which
appears to be our far eastern and southeast counties. By the end
of the week, the bermuda high will slide onto the Atlantic coast
funneling moisture up into our area. Diurnally driven showers
and storms will be possible across CPA with dewpoints and
temperatures on the rise again.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A cold front moving NW to SE this afternoon will bring the
chance of SHRA and TSRA to all terminals, with the best chances
across north central PA (BFD/UNV/IPT).

Behind the cold front, NW upslope flow will likely lead to MVFR
or IFR cigs at BFD and JST late tonight and Monday morning.
Elsewhere, restrictions are possible in patchy fog.

Conditions will quickly improve Monday morning, as high pressure
builds into the area. It will be a breezy day.

Outlook...

Tue...Chc of a SHRA or TSRA across the SW. Otherwise dry.

Wed-Fri...Mainly a chance of an afternoon SHRA or TSRA.

&&

.CLIMATE...
July 2021 ranked as the 10th wettest at Williamsport (4.64"|
+2.35") 9th wettest at Harrisburg (8.00"|+3.26") and 3rd
wettest at Bradford (4.16"|+2.59").

.CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
