What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Mar 3, 10:37 AM EST, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 10:37 AM EST, 2 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 1037 AM EST Fri Mar 3 2023 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure will track west of Pennsylvania through the eastern Great Lakes late Friday, producing a myriad of precipitation types over the state. A mixture of wet snow, sleet and some freezing rain will spread northeast across the region very late this morning and this afternoon. The precipitation will change to plain rain for a several hour period tonight to the south of Interstate 80. A strong cold front will push through the state very late tonight and early Saturday, followed by gusty west to northwest winds and steady or slowly falling temperatures during the day Saturday. An additional light accumulation of snow from frequent snow showers is also expected across the Northern and Western Mountains of the state on Saturday. Fair weather with lighter wind will return on Sunday as a ridge of high pressure builds in from the Ohio Valley && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Clouds continue to increase, lower and thicken across central and southern portions of the state. Precip breaking out on time acrossing the Laurels and SC Mountains with a brief period of snow to start. Maintaining the well layered cake of low-end Winter Weather Advisories for all areas except for the South Central Mtns and Lower Susq Valley today into tonight. Lower Susq will have warmer temps with the bulk of precip falling as rain later this afternoon/early tonight (after up to a few hour period of wet snow/sleet) negating any significant impacts on travel. Gusty south winds associated with a potent southerly LLJ will buffet the ridge tops this afternoon into early tonight. As the sfc-850 mb low moves into SW New York early Saturday, west to northwest winds will ramp up quickly in the wake of its swd trailing strong cold front. 3 hour sfc pressure rises AOA 6 mb will accompany the strong llvl CAA. So, in addition to the Wind Advisory for the Laurels this afternoon and evening (with gusts of 40 to 45 mph elsewhere on the ridges, a more potent wind episode is possible across the SW 1/3 or so of our CWA Saturday, especially near and just to the east of the I-99 corridor where downsloping and funneling through gaps in the Allegheny Front could lead to some 60+ mph West to NW gusts. Temps today will rise to the mid 30s to around 40F across much of Central PA and the Western Mtns, while the mercury climbs into the low 40s throughout the Susq Valley where the later precip onset (late this afternoon) and some periods of filtered morning sunshine will occur. This storm has some similarities as this past Mon-Tue's event, though deep-layer uvvel and precip "rates" early on with this storm could lead to a more distinct 1-3 hour period of wet snow/sleet (and FZRA across the Laurels) before a change to FZRA or plain rain occurs late this evening as temps inch up to between 33-36 across much of Central and Southern PA. The best chance for over an inch of snow appears to be across the N Mtns, where the low to mid level cold air will take longer to dislodge, and 850 mb wet bulbs will cool a few to several deg C - back down to -3 to -5C between 00Z-03Z Sat after the precip (mainly wet snow/sleet) falls for a few hours. The GFS and 00Z Fri HREF both indicate the possibility for a brief 1-2 hour period of moderate snow in this part of the state late this afternoon and again around or shortly after midnight, following and extended period of sleet and/or fzra, producing a few inches of accumulation before the changeover. Earlier snow/sleet forecast looks in pretty good shape. Did make a few tweaks to the snow and ice grids where Advisories are in effect. However, the most likely totals range from 1-3 inches over the N Mtns, to nothing over the Lower Susq Valley. Plenty of moisture in the 0-3km layer, combined with an upsloping southeast flow, should yield lingering light precipitation in the form of light rain/drizzle for much of the area. However, model soundings indicate sleet or high elevation fzra could persist over the N Mtns well into the night with temps hovering around 30-32F. Also, strong upper level diffluence ahead of potent mid level shortwave, combined with a bit of elevated cape, suggest a few heavier showers, and even a rumble of thunder, are possible later tonight. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/... A tight pressure gradient behind the departing low, combined with subsidence force by differential anticyclonic vorticity advection, should result in increasingly gusty west winds on Saturday. Bufkit soundings support gusts between 45-50kt across the Laurel Highlands and just downwind of the I-99 corridor in south-central PA (northern edge of a Sting Jet?), with somewhat lower wgusts around 35-40kts elsewhere. Coordinated with KLWX to post a High Wind Watch for our 4 Southwest Counties across the Laurel Highlands and points just east for Saturday, beginning shortly before daybreak. Lingering low level moisture and orographic forcing appears likely to support mixed rain/snow showers Saturday, primarily over the NW Mtns. Otherwise, relatively cold temps aloft should result in plenty of stratocu with the best opportunity for breaks southeast of the Appalachians. Mixing down 850mb temps of -3C to -5C translates to near seasonal highs ranging from the upper 30s over the Alleghenies to the low 50s across the Lower Susq Valley. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... 10PM Update: Recent model guidance continues to support residual snow/rain showers across the northern half of CPA through Saturday afternoon with some residual showers across the NW Alleghenies prior to Sunday. Model runs have also tightened up slightly pertaining to a surface low tracking through upstate NY with a cold front tracking across PA Tuesday morning. Model guidance continues to suggest lake effect snow with WNW flow into the northern Alleghenies. Prev... Weakening primary sfc should be over NW Pa Saturday morning and is progged to drift ESE across central PA by midday Saturday before exiting to the east and dissolving in the strong cyclonic flow around the intense secondary low southeast of Cape Cod. This will keep scattered rain and snow showers over especially the northern half of central PA into Saturday afternoon, diminishing by Sat night. High pressure builds in Sunday to cap off the weekend with a mix of clouds and sun as any lingering rain and snow showers will taper off over the Alleghenies. High pressure will remain over the region through Monday morning before a warm front lifting into the eastern Great Lakes potentially brushes the northern tier with isold to sct rain showers in the afternoon, although forcing for this is slightly farther north than model consensus depicted yesterday. The rest of central PA should remain dry until Monday evening as a surface low tracks into upstate NY, dragging a cold front across central PA into Tuesday morning. Cooler conditions expected Tuesday with scattered rain showers, with a transition to snow showers in the north. While there remains significant spread in solutions by the middle of next week, models are overall trending colder for the middle to latter part of next week with persistent WNW flow across the central and eastern GLAKS maintaining lake effect and orographic snow showers over the Alleghenies. && .AVIATION /16Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Late morning update. Precipitation timing not bad, will have to take a look at type once something reaches the ground. Main change was the winds, which are gusty in some spots now. Earlier discussion below. Mixed precipitation will move across central PA late this morning through the afternoon. After initial VFR conditions this morning, expect lowering cigs and vsbys as snow, sleet and rain move into the region. Most sites will become IFR this afternoon and evening and remain so until Saturday morning. Winds will be out of the ESE today and tonight then shift out of the west on Saturday. Strong LLWS is likely this afternoon and evening. Outlook... Sat...Light rain/snow early then drying out downwind of the mtns. Snow showers could linger NW. Wind gusts 15-25kt from 280-310 deg. Sun...Sct snow showers psbl NW mtns. VFR elsewhere. Mon...Rain/snow showers psbl Monday night. Tue...Rain showers psbl, some restrictions in the west. && .CLIMATE...
