Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
1145 AM EDT Fri May 27 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Upper level low pressure moving northeast up the Ohio River
Valley today and abundant deep layer moisture preceding it
will create numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms
over primarily the western half of PA this morning.

The showers and thunderstorms will grown in intensity this
afternoon as they become focused over the eastern half of
the state, producing localized heavy rain and strong
wind gusts from the south to southwest.

Rainfall amounts through tonight will average between one
half and one inch over the western half of the state,
while heavier amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected across
the eastern half of Pennsylvania. Localized FLash Flooding is
possible near and to the east of the Interstate 81 corridor
later this afternoon and this evening.

Clouds and scattered showers will linger late tonight
through Saturday morning, before improving conditions
develop Saturday afternoon and evening and persist through
Memorial Day.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
1130AM/1530UTC: Narrow, north-south oriented line of low-topped
pre-frontal mdt rain showers have reached State College late
this morning. These showers extend from the NY to MD border. So
far, the most active weather has stayed to the south of central
PA where instability is higher. Latest SPC RAP guidance advects
moist, low-LCL boundary layer from south to north across east
central PA this afternoon accompanied by strongly sheared 0-3km
wind profiles. Latest radar trends are already showing tendency
for a predominantly quasi-linear mode with embedded
bows/LEWPs/broken-S signatures and related mesocirculations -
posing localized threat for damaging winds and a brief tornado.
Heavy rain also remains a concern given efficient environment
with Td 65-70F, high-pwats and deep layer RH. The greatest risk
for FF is across the southeast urban areas and/or where any
training segments materialize with intense rain rates resulting
in swaths of 2-3" rain totals.

Previous Discussion Issued: 540 AM EDT Fri May 27 2022

Diffluent flow aloft increasing above the axis of a 40 kt
southerly LLJ and an extensive plume of deep tropical moisture
with PWAT values of 1.5 to 1.75 inches that were covering much
of the CWA early today. Showers will be focused mainly west of
the I-99/Route 220 corridor this morning, before blossoming
across the Central Mtns and Susq Valley this afternoon and
continuing into this evening.

Collaborated with WFOS LWX, PHI and BGM to issue a Flash Flood
Watch for the 18Z Fri-02Z Sat period across the region along and
south of I-81 where numerous CAMS guidance highlights one or two
narrow ribbons of excessive rain of 2-3 inches somewhere across
the Lower Susq Valley this afternoon and evening from training
SHRA/TSRA. This is about the exact same area captured by SPC's
SLGT Risk area for Severe TSRA and even a small risk for an
isolated weak tornado or two as a result of 0-1km shear of 20 to
25 kts and EHIs in that layer of around 1m2/s2.

The primary ingredient lacking for a significant severe weather
episode today is the lack of strong instability within the
plume of tropical moisture and thick, layered cloud cover. Given
the moderately strong llvl shear and low LCLs will keep a close
eye on rapidly evolving low-topped supercells over the Susq
Valley and points east even with modest CAPE.

High temps will be in the low 70s in most places, with mid 70s
in the SE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/...
The low level jet and plume of deepest moisture will shift east
of the region later this evening. However, scattered showers
and thundershowers appear likely into the first half of Saturday
afternoon with passage of upper low and weak sfc trough. Meager
CAPE and weak shear profiles indicate little to no threat of
severe weather.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The upper low will finally push east of PA Saturday night and
drier air will begin to work its way in from the west, leading
to a period of dry weather through midweek. Sunday looks like a
very pleasant day with surface ridging passing overhead and
temperatures topping out in the mid 70s to low 80s.

Very warm and dry Memorial day with full sunshine, as upper
level ridge builds over the region. This ridge will remain in
place until at least Wednesday. Many area over the SE portion of
the CWA will see highs over 90. It will also turn more humid
each day ahead of an approaching cold front, which will likely
move through the area on Thursday, bringing more comfortable
temperatures to end the work work week.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
After a small break from last evening, back on aviation this
morning, so not a lot of change from earlier. Main thing is an
area of showers trying to work into eastern areas late this
morning and early this afternoon. Lack of heating so far has
kept echo tops down some, so no thunder so far. I have a
TEMPO in for the west to cover narrow line of heavier showers.

Earlier discussion below.

So far this morning rain has been across the western terminals
at KJST and KBFD, while low clouds and patchy drizzle have been
across the southeast with IFR conditions at LNS all night. Will
continue to see at least MVFR cigs at all terminals this
morning, with occasional IFR cigs at LNS and MDT. A cold front
will move west to east across Pennsylvania this afternoon with
widespread showers and thunderstorms. There may be a brief
period of improvement before that front comes through with
slightly higher cigs.

Improving conditions for the holiday weekend, as the cold front
moves east of the area on Saturday.

Outlook...

Sat...Improving conditions.

Sun-Tue...Dry weather with VFR conditions.
