What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this high wind warning 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 high wind warning went out at Dec 28, 6:19 AM EST, 6 hours 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 28, 6:19 AM EST, 6 hours 30 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service State College PA
619 AM EST Sun Dec 28 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
* Rain will overspread much of the region today, with a period
  of freezing rain for parts of north-central and northeast PA
* Briefly milder temperatures are anticipated overnight into
  Monday morning, before very windy and much colder conditions
  set in from Monday afternoon into Tuesday
* Accompanying the colder weather this week will be the
  development of lake-effect snow bands into northwest PA

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
KEY MESSAGES:
- Steadier rain will develop by midday to early afternoon, with
  surface temperatures cold enough to support a period of
  freezing rain for the Endless Mountains, the Middle
  Susquehanna Valley, and the southwestern Poconos
- Temperatures trend upward overnight, out ahead of an
  approaching and strong cold front

-----------------------------------------------------------

Model guidance has remained consistent in tracking a rapidly
deepening surface wave from the Upper Midwest into Ontario by
early Monday. A strengthening low-level jet will increase
moisture and thermal advection into far northern PA and NY State
this afternoon and evening, where most of the steadier rain is
anticipated. In fact, a tight south-north QPF gradient is
foreseen, with rainfall amounts trailing off pretty quickly
south of I-80.

Given that surface readings have fallen into the upper teens-
lower 20s early this morning over many parts of north-central
and northeast PA, residual low-level cold air should be
sufficient to support a 3-6+ hour period of freezing rain. Even
a bit of sleet on the front end is possible, but given very
strong warm advection above the boundary layer, rain or freezing
rain should be the dominant precipitation types. We did expand
our existing Winter Weather Advisory westward and southward a
bit, and now includes Potter, Clinton, Union, Snyder, Montour,
Northumberland, Columbia, and Schuylkill counties.

Steadier rain and freezing rain could well taper off for a time
late tonight, as the best warm advection forcing shifts farther
north and east. Temperatures are expected to be on the rise
overnight and should ultimately climb above freezing throughout
the forecast area. A strong cold front trailing from the
aforementioned surface wave should be entering western PA in the
pre-dawn hours and could approach the Allegheny front towards
daybreak, possibly with a narrow line of rain showers.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A strong cold front will charge across the Commonwealth Monday
morning, perhaps with a broken band of rain showers.

Behind the front, strong low-level cold advection will commence,
along with very windy conditions. Regarding high wind potential,
although the strongest isallobaric forcing is progged over
upstate NY and southern Canada, very impressive pressure rises,
good post-frontal downward momentum transfer, and an overall
strong wind field into the upper part of the boundary layer
across PA, argue for widespread wind gusts of 40-50 mph, and
isolated gusts of 55-65 mph over the Alleghenies and points just
downstream. Based on this, we've added Clearfield and northern
Centre counties to the existing High Wind Watch (formerly
including Somerset, Cambria, Bedford, and Blair counties). Wind
Advisories seem probable elsewhere. The period of strongest
winds is anticipated from early Monday afternoon through the
evening hours. High Wind Warning vs. Wind Advisory upgrade
decisions will likely be made later today.

A non-diurnal temperature trend is expected on Monday, with
morning highs in the 40s-mid 50s, plummeting into the 20s-mid
30s by late afternoon.

The other primary issue is the expected development of lake-
effect snow bands Monday, Monday night, and Tuesday. Flow
orientation is expected to slowly veer from about 260 (west-
southwest) to 290 (west-northwest) with time. 75th to 90th
percentile snowfall totals (a good bet where the most persistent
bands reside) argue for 3-8" of snow from northern Warren into
northwest McKean county, justifying the Winter Storm Watch.
There is also potential for a more southern band to track into
Elk and northern Clearfield counties, but there is much more
uncertainty in this regard.

Frigid wind chills will also become an issue Monday night and
Tuesday morning in particular (apparent temperatures +/- single
digits). These values don't quite reach cold weather headline
criteria (-10f).

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
On the large-scale, a cold, cyclonic NW flow pattern will reside
over much of the eastern CONUS this period, underneath a deep
upper low in eastern Canada. This will support a reinforcing
shot of arctic air in the Thursday-Friday time frame, followed
by gradual moderation next weekend, as heights aloft slowly
start to build.

A prolonged period of lake enhanced/upslope snowfall may well
continue across northwest PA and the Alleghenies through at
least Thursday-Friday. However, it does appear that the ambient
air mass could be fairly dry later in the week vs. earlier,
which could eventually cut down on snowfall potential. However,
there is considerable uncertainty in this regard, and we'll
continue to monitor over time.

Of high confidence, though, is very cold temperatures (highs
only in the teens-mid 20s later this week), along with frigid
wind chills. As alluded to above, readings should gradually
moderate by later next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Continued LIFR conditions are currently being observed across
central Pennsylvania's western terminals (BFD/JST/AOO) with all
model guidance pointing at continued IFR and below conditions
for these three airfields through 00Z Monday. Widespread
precipitation stations near a KPKB-KTOL will gradually continue
moving eastward this morning with little in the way of timing
changes for the 12Z TAF package from the previous cycle. There
remains some uncertainty with what will occur within a weaker
set of reflectivity returns across western Pennsylvania in the
near-term with recent observations at FKL outlining UP/FG. Given
that the bulk of model consensus and observations under current
precipitation, LIFR continues to be the most likely scenario
moving forward through 00Z Monday.

Further east, recent observations outline IFR at UNV with MVFR
prevailing otherwise as of 11Z/6am EST. Deteriorating trend is
expected with IPT/UNV increasingly likely to experience a longer
duration of IFR/LIFR conditions based on a combination of
GLAMP/RAP/HREF model guidance through the entire 12Z TAF
package. HREF probabilities do outline a brief window for
UNV/IPT to prevail low-end MVFR in the 14-16Z window ahead of
precipitation and these seem to be well-founded based on RAP
model soundings, so have went ahead and introduced this
potential in the 12Z TAF package. Further east, higher chances
outlined in GLAMP/HREF model guidance for MDT/LNS to have
slightly more optimistic chances at MVFR, before IFR/LIFR
becomes probable after ~20Z Sunday.

Winds start out light for the bulk of the 12Z TAF package
before LLWS concerns begin to ramp up after 18Z Sunday as a
surface low pressure and associated cold front well west of the
area moves eastward, with a nose of a 50+kt 850mb LLJ entering
western Pennsylvania between 18Z Sunday and 00Z Monday. This LLJ
influence continues to expand eastward through the end of the
12Z TAF package. High confidence on the overall presence of
LLWS impacts and timing at this juncture, with the main
uncertainty coming with respect to the magnitude of LLWS at
onset.

Outlook...

Mon...Mild early with widespread rain showers, then colder and
windy later in the day with with snow showers across the N/W.

Tue...Windy and cold with snow showers N/W. Dry southeast.

Wed...Chance of snow showers across the north and west, dry
southeast.

Thu...Chance of snow showers.
