AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA
215 PM EDT WED JUN 27 2001

HIGH PRESSURE ONCE AGAIN CONTROLLING THE WEATHER TODAY. TEMPERATURES
AND DEWPOINTS HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY LEADING TO SLIGHTLY HIGHER
INSTABILITIES. AFTERNOON CU ONCE AGAIN FORMED MAINLY ALONG THE
HIGHER TERRAIN WITH AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON IN THE LAURELS.

AFTER ANOTHER CLEAR NIGHT...A WIND SHIFT LINE IS PROGGED TO CROSS
THE REGION TOMORROW. THIS WILL TURN OUR WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST.
BELIEVE THE NORTHWEST PART OF CWA WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER AND LESS
HUMID. THE GREATEST INSTABILITY WILL BE AHEAD OF THE THE WIND SHIFT
IN THE SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER DOWNSLOPE NORTHWEST WINDS ALOFT SHOULD DRY
THEM OUT DURING THE AFTERNOON LEADING TO A MOSTLY SUNNY DAY THERE AS
WELL.

WITH THE FRONT REMAINING NORTH OF THE REGION FOR FRIDAY...IT WILL BE
ANOTHER WARM DAY. A STRONGER WEST WIND SHOULD USHER IN HIGHER
DEWPOINTS IN THE WEST AND HIGHER TEMPERATURES IN THE EAST WITH A
DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT. ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT THINK THAT DOWNSLOPE
WILL DRY OUT THE EAST...THE UPSLOPE IN THE WEST MAY BE ENOUGH TO
CLOUD THEM UP AND POSSIBLY DEVELOP A FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT.

IN THE EXTENDED...AS A WAVE ALONG THE FRONT PASSES WELL TO OUR
NORTH...A COLD FRONT LOOKS TO PASS ON SUNDAY. SUNDAY WILL HAVE A
HIGHER PRECIPITATION THREAT THAN SATURDAY...BUT NOT CONFIDENTh ENOUGH
TO REMOVE THUNDERSTORM WORDING FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON JUST YET AS
HEIGHTS ALREADY BEGIN TO FALL. BEHIND THE FRONT NEXT WEEK LOOKS DRY
AND COOL...AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.

.CTP...NONE.
