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 9, 2:20 AM EST, 1 hour earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 2:20 AM EST, 1 hour before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 220 AM EST Sat Mar 9 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A strong storm system will push up the OH Valley and make a wide variety of weather conditions and hazards through the weekend and into Mon. Rain returns to the area tonight and continues into Saturday night until a strong cold front moves through. Gusty winds and much colder air arrive in its wake for Sunday, supporting lake effect and upslope snow showers, and possibly a few snow squalls, although surface temperatures are not likely cold enough to support flash freezes on Sunday. Temperatures will trend mild again next week as a stretch of drier weather builds in. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM THIS MORNING/... Going forecast in great shape for the overnight. Rain has overspread the southwest third to half of central PA and will rapidly overspread the remainder of the area over the next few hours. Temps appear to have bottomed out across the north as clouds continue to rapidly increase, so will boost mins up slightly there to account for this as the rain moves in. && .SHORT TERM /8 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/... By Saturday morning, the long wave trough to our west will deepen/sharpen making way for a dynamic system to bring ample moisture and multiple hazards to the region. Showers will persist through much of the day on Saturday with recent guidance landing on rainfall totals of 1-2 inches areawide. See the hydro discussion for more details. There won't be any surface based instability for the storm as the rain Sat AM and continued cloud cover should keep us very stable. Maxes will only be in the 40/l50s, and those numbers may be optimistic/high. As the evening progresses, some elevated instability is expected to pass over the SErn zones. That could make a rumble of thunder or two - which would be the deep, scary kind of T since the llvls will be very stable. No severe convective wind gusts are expected, because any gusts would not reach the sfc. Throughout the day on Saturday, winds will gust out of the southeast. Gusts should generally be in the 20 to 30mph range with a few stronger gusts possible at higher elevations. By Saturday evening, a strong front (technically an occlusion) will slam through the region and usher in some big changes. Ahead of and along the boundary, winds will actually slacken up considerably Saturday evening. In fact, this will likely also be accompanied by a bit of a dry slot and a pleasant "lull". The timing of this dry slot is rather uncertain, but a several hour period of dry conditions is expected Saturday evening for locations east of the Allegheny front. The front will cross through by 06Z with a rapid drop in temperatures and uptick in gusty westerly winds. There will be some snow accums by morning on the western terrain. The initially warm ground/road temps should help the roads not be icy until just before morning. Temps will dip to the u20s by sunrise in the NW, and to about 40F in the Lower Susq. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Key Points: - A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Warren County valid late Sat night through early Mon morning for up to 6 inches of snow possible. The highest chance for heavy snow will be in the NW corner of Warren County. - Snow squalls may produce hazardous travel on Sunday with rapidly changing road conditions including reduced visibility, gusty winds, and icy roads. - Prolonged 36 hour period of strong gusty winds Sunday-Monday Cold advection will continue on Sunday as the surface low pulls off to the northeast. The influx of cold air will result in snow becoming the dominant precipitation type by mid morning for most of central PA, although mixed precip is possible in any showers that make it to the Susq Valley on eastward. With a cold airmass aloft and the expectation of some breaks in the clouds on Sunday, the Snow Squall Parameter indicates there is a threat of snow squalls on Sunday. Scattered bursts of snow and lake effect streamer bands could result in hazardous travel on Sunday, especially in areas along, north, and west of the I-80 and I-99 corridors. Temperatures in this area may be cold enough to support roadway impacts in heavier bursts of snow. Strong westerly winds will support lake effect/upslope snow showers during the day on Sunday with snowfall amounts being highest in the northwest mountains and Laurel Highlands (generally 2-5 inches, but up to 6 inches possible locally in NW Warren County if the true lake effect snow bands line up there). A coating to an inch is possible for locations farther south and east. The main story on Sunday into Monday will be a 36 hour period of strong west to northwest winds. As high pressure builds behind the departing low, a tight pressure gradient will develop across Pennsylvania. Latest guidance suggests 30+ mph wind gusts begin Sunday morning and continue into Monday evening, with the strongest winds likely Sunday night into Monday afternoon, when gusts will be in the 40-55 mph range. Any lingering snow showers early Monday morning will be more confined to the northern sections of central PA as the subsidence inversion makes the boundary layer more shallow. Guidance shows clouds rapidly breaking up through the day Monday, yielding a sunny but windy afternoon. A warming trend will begin to emerge and continue through the end of the week, with high temperatures shooting into the 60s Wed-Fri. Precipitation chances return on Thu-Fri, although a wide range in model solutions limits confidence this far out in the forecast period. && .AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Low cigs are continuing to spread from southwest to northeast across the region ahead of the approaching low pressure system. LLWS will increase and become most significant for BFD/JST/AOO where 40-50KTs of LLWS is likely (80% chc). As the wind just aloft continues to advect in much more moisture, the rain will get heavier into the afternoon on Saturday. Cigs will drop to IFR or eventually LIFR everywhere. Confidence is increasing for heavy rains to significantly reduce visibilities through the TAF period. Some improvements are possible just after 00Z Sunday, mainly in SE PA. There is a small (20%) chc for TS as the front passes through, mainly over MDT and LNS. Deep cold air is expected to advect in behind the cold front. SHRA will turn to SHSN over the wrn mtns (JST and BFD) before sunrise Sun. The wind picks up significantly with gusts rising to 35-45KT on Sun and Mon. Lake effect and upslope SHSN will drop many sites to IFR from time to time Sun into early Mon -- mainly BFD and JST. MVFR cigs and vsbys are highly likely for AOO- UNV- IPT during that same time. Outlook... Mon...Still breezy with NW wind 15-20KT G25-30KT. Clearing skies, becmg VFR. Tues...Lighter NW wind, but not <10KT. VFR. Wed...No sig wx. && .HYDROLOGY... PWAT increases to more than 0.75" N and near 1" S Sat aftn/evening (+2 std devs). While the llvls are highly stable, there is a signal for repeated showers to bring 1.5" or more of rainfall to the central mtns. Latest 00Z HREF probability matched mean guidance paints a widespread 1-1.5 inches with local enhancements along upslope regions north and east of ridgetops thanks to persistent southeasterly flow. Lighter amounts are most likely in the nrn tier (generally around an inch). A lack of instability will preclude heavy rainfall rates, but the persistence of light to moderate showers over several hours could result in isolated flooding across the region. 6 hour flash flood guidance is highest in the southeast (2"+) but more attainable across the central mountains (approximately 1.5" on average). As such, a Marginal Risk of excessive rainfall is in effect for all of Central PA. From a river standpoint, several foot rises are likely on smaller streams and creeks in response to the rainfall, with crests happening on Sunday. Larger rivers will not crest until early next week. Headwater guidance from the River Forecast Center indicates that some of the flashier streams could reach minor flood stage if basin- average rainfall amounts exceed 1.5" in a 6 hour window, although current forecasts are for crests above caution stage at several points. It is worth noting that current river flows are low, which is certainly a factor in keeping river flood risk low at this time. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
