Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
1147 AM EDT Mon Jun 12 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front over Western Pennsylvania late this morning will
push east across the remainder of the region this afternoon
and early this evening.

A deepening upper low will become cut-off and drift slowly
east over the Great Lakes through late this week, keeping the
weather unsettled and temperatures cooler than normal.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
An area of generally light to moderate rain along and ahead of a
cold front was underperforming what's been anticipated by most
model guidance and their associated ensemble suits (thus far).

The timing of the bulk of the larger scale forcing with
widespread clouds and showers during the mid to late morning has
effectively minimized instability during the already convective
min of the day. So, although WPC and SPC has targeted the
eastern third or so of our CWA with MRGL Risks for both
Excessive Rain and SVR TSRA, chances appear to be diminishing in
many respects.

SFC Based CAPE now between 1000-1500 J/KG over the Lower Susq
Valley and 0-3KM Bulk Shear Vectors from the SW at around 30 KTS
in that area, some low-topped mini supercells could pop up
across the area near and to the south of the I-81 corridor this
afternoon.

After the front passes, there may some brief clearing in the
west. But, cyclonic flow will close up the hole with clouds, and
perhaps a few --SHRA over the Western mtns. Elsewhere, once the
front passes, there should be better/more-complete clearing.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The wet ground and clearing sky could make some fog tonight.
But the wind will be out of the west at 5-10mph with some higher
gusts and the dewpoints will be dropping into the 40s W and
l50s E. So, the fog may have a tough time forming. Expect a
gradual decrease in clouds over the W thru the latter half of
the night.

A cut-off upper low will crawl across the Lower Great Lakes
over the next few days. The base of the upper low will remain
to the northwest of PA into the middle of the week, perhaps
finally shifting east by Wednesday. The old, occluded surface
low will do a little loop-de-loop through the Great Lakes
Tuesday before moving back over our region on Tuesday night into
Wednesday. This will bring another good chance for showers and
storms, esp for the NW half or more of the CWA. The rainfall
will not be heavy, but enough instability is generated during
the daytimes that thunder is a possibility. Temperatures should
remain 5-10F cooler than normal maxes until later this week when
we get back near normal, and overnight temps will be near to
just slightly below normals for the balance of the week.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The aforementioned upper low will begin to lose its grip on our
local weather as it lifts to the NE across the New England
states and SE Canada on Thursday.

Some difficult to pinpoint spokes of upper level energy will
drop south or southeast along the backside of this departing
Upper Low later Thursday into Friday bringing variable amounts
of clouds and mainly scattered diurnal showers. The best
mesoscale lift and prob for showers appears to be Thursday
afternoon and evening as several deg C of mid-level cooler and
upper level diffluence brings a several to 6 hour period of more
numerous showers, esp across the Northern Mtns where where the
coolest temps aloft will reside.

The exact evolution of a relaxing, more zonal WNW upper level
flow next weekend is rather uncertain as there is quite
significant diff between the EC and GFS Operational Models with
the EC being the more zonal and the GFS showing another round of
amplification of the low heights across the Glakes and NE US.

Will take the middle road between these two differing solutions
at this point and mention relatively low, 20-30 pops for Sat
and Sunday.

Max temps should peak Thursday at a few to several deg F above
normal before slipping by 3-5 deg F for the Friday through
Sunday period.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Guidance continues to show moderate-to-high probabilities of
IFR conds along a JST/AOO/BFD line, with restrictions continuing
throughout Monday. HREF guidance gives a high (70-90%)
probability of IFR cigs at BFD ~13Z through ~19Z, with a
moderate (40-60%) probability of these restrictions lasting
through the evening hours. SREF is in fairly good agreement,
although is more hesitant to drop CIGs below IFR outside of BFD.

Gusty winds associated with a cold front passage across central
PA, impacting the western airfields this morning and stretching
across the area. Some TSRA is possible along IPT/MDT/LNS, and
has been included in this TAF package due to increasing confidence
on the western extent of these storms.

Outlook...

Mon-Wed...Higher likelihood of SHRA and TSRA, esp. Mon/Wed.

Thurs-Fri...Mainly VFR. Isolated afternoon showers possible
across mainly the northern half of CPA.

&&

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