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 Jan 8, 12:43 AM EST, 3 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 8, 12:43 AM EST, 3 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 1243 AM EST Mon Jan 8 2024 .SYNOPSIS... An upper level trough will shift east of the region tonight and high pressure will build in Monday. An intensifying, moisture- laden low pressure system will move Northeast across the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region late Tuesday into Wednesday bringing a brief period of snow at the onset, then widespread moderate to heavy rain and wind that will lead to a threat of small stream and creek flooding. Another storm lifting north from the Gulf Coast could affect the region by the close of the work week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM THIS MORNING/... Light, lake enhanced, orographic snow continues to fall late this evening over the Allegheny Plateau. Model qpf supports up to an additional inch over the snowbelt of northwest Warren County overnight and 1-2 inches where orographic forcing is greatest on the highest ridges of the Laurel Highlands. Passage of the upper trough and approach of surface ridging will result in falling inversion heights and diminishing snow showers overnight. As cloud depths become more shallow, modeled cloud top temps rise above -10C, indicating spotty -fzdz is possible over parts of the Alleghenies overnight. However, significant travel impacts are not anticipated, as any fzdz will either fall on snow covered, or wet/treated roads. Downsloping subsidence is already producing breaks in the overcast this evening east of the Alleghenies and model RH profiles indicate this slow clearing trend will continue east of the mountains, while overcast skies persist through dawn over the NW Mtns and Laurels. Weak cold advection will push readings slowly downward overnight, with min temps in the upper 20s and low 30s. && .SHORT TERM /7 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/... Ridging at the surface and aloft will bring fair and mild weather with light winds Monday. However, low level moisture trapped beneath a subsidence inversion should result in stubborn low clouds across the Alleghenies and especially the NW Mtn, where SREF prob charts and model soundings indicate clouds will remain all day. Light wind and limited mixing, combined with snow cover, should keep temperatures from rising much Monday, despite mainly sunny skies east of the mountains. See no reason to deviated from NBM temps, which peak in the 30s over much of Central PA and in the low 40s in the Susq Valley. Conditions currently look favorable for efficient radiational cooling Monday evening, with mostly clear skies and light wind, so have undercut min temps slightly. Increasing cirrus and a developing southeast breeze ahead of an upstream trough should cause readings to bottom out during late evening, then rise late Monday night. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... The focus for the next few days will be on a potent southern stream trough lifting out of the Southern Plains. All medium range guidance tracks this feature and the associated deepening surface low west of PA through the Grt Lks Tuesday PM into Wednesday. A blocking high over New England may supply enough cold air for an initial wintry mix. However, max wet bulb temps aloft rise well above 0C by Tuesday evening, as an anomalous (+4SD) southerly low level jet pivots through the state. A deep plume of GOMEX moisture overrunning the retreating low level stable airmass should result in a moderate to heavy rainfall late Tuesday, with an accompanying flood risk lasting into Wednesday. Latest ensemble prob charts indicate the eastern half of the forecast area will be most susceptible with amounts in excess of 2 inches possible, combined with melting snow. MMEFS (NAEFS and GEFS) shows numerous river points across the eastern part of the forecast area with 30-70% prob of reaching minor flood stages by Wed AM. Current MARFC forecasts take a couple tributary points above flood state on Wednesday. The most vulnerable locations will be the Lower Susquehanna Mainstem and tributaries (i.e. Conodoguinet Creek, Swatara Creek, and Sherman Creek). Strong, gusty winds will be a concern for parts of Central PA on Tuesday into Wednesday as the surface low bombs out across the Great Lakes. Gradient winds ahead of the approaching low will produce strong southeasterly winds across the higher elevations in the Laurels and northern mountains Tuesday. Gusty winds are also possible across southeast PA, where guidance indicates the potential of breaking into the warm sector ahead of an approaching occluded front Tuesday evening. Current EPS guidance indicates 40kt+ gusts are likely Tuesday PM across the aforementioned zones (everywhere except the central ridge/valley region), with 50 kt gusts not out of the question. Scattered snow showers are likely to accompany the passage of the upper low Wed morning, mainly over the Allegheny Plateau. Subsidence behind this feature, combined with a tight pressure gradient south of the deep surface cyclone, should result in another period of strong winds Wednesday afternoon. Latest EPS plumes indicate gusts could again near advisory criteria. Diminishing winds and fair weather appear likely by Thursday, as the low lifts away and surface ridging builds into PA. Zonal flow is progged to flood the lower CONUS with relatively mild Pacific air late next week, so expect temps to be several degrees above average. Latest GEFS and EPS both track another deepening low pressure system west of PA late next week. This scenario favors another mainly rain event Friday PM, with a possible initial wintry mix over the central mountains of PA. && .AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... A moist airmass at low levels will keep IFR and MVFR conditions over the western half of the area into the morning while eastern sites will remain VFR. Some guidance suggests that IPT could briefly see MVFR ceilings at times through 12Z, but with the HREF only suggesting a 20-30% chance of this occurring, decided to keep them VFR. Conditions improve on Monday, as a ridge of high pressure moves east of the area. Snow showers will come to an end at JST around 12Z at which point cigs/vsby will gradually improve. All sites will likely see a period of VFR conditions during the late afternoon before winds become more southerly and low level moisture begins to increase once again ahead of the next low pressure system. Mid and high clouds will begin to overspread central Pennsylvania after 00Z Tuesday, but at least some MVFR cigs cannot be ruled out across the southern tier as well. All precipitation looks to hold off until after 06Z. Outlook... Tue...Windy. VFR early with snow and rain and widespread restrictions arriving toward daybreak. Wed...Quite breezy. Gradually improving conditions. Thu...Dry weather with mainly VFR conditions. Fri...VFR conditions early, then rain and snow developing. && .HYDROLOGY... 1.5 to 2.5+ inches of rain is forecast next Tuesday into Wednesday over eastern Pennsylvania. There will be a risk of areal and river (small stream) flooding due to the combination of forecast rainfall, snow melt, saturated ground, and the associated enhanced runoff during the cold season. Ensemble data is already highlighting the potential for widespread rises to action with at least a 30% chance to exceed minor to moderate flood stage, esp the Swatara Creek basin and the other large tributaries to the lower mainstem Susq. The Weather Prediction Center has placed eastern PA in a Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall and the Slight Risk extends into the Lower Susquehanna Valley. Moderate Risks are quite rare in Central PA (only 4 per year on average). They are even more rare during the month of January with only 2 occurring in Central PA since 2010 (24 January 2010 and 30 January 2013). && .CLIMATE... Harrisburg got 3.3" SF yesterday (1/6/24), ending the snow drought there. After 345 days, they finally got more than a trace of snow. That is the longest stretch of snowless weather since records began in 1888. Similarly, State College reported 5.0" SF this morning (7AM - 7AM climate site). It was the first time in 346 days they measured at least 1 inch of snow. The streak of 345 consecutive days without at least 1 inch of snow was the longest on record breaking the previous record of 319 days from 2/20/1979 - 1/4/1980 that was tied from 3/16/2006 - 1/28/2007. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
