AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 1055 AM EDT WED JUL 13 2005 .SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)... AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES THIS MORNING COULD TRIGGER A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OR SHOWERS LYCOMING AND TIOGA COUNTIES. THIS BOUNDARY COULD SERVE TO TRIGGER MORE SHOWERS LATER TODAY FARTHER WEST AS IT DRIFTS. A NW TO SE FEATURE COULD SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN SW PA TODAY. UPPED CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THAT REGION. AT THIS TIME...ANY THUNDERSTORMS COULD TAP THE DEEP MOISTURE. WITH PWAT RUNNING ABOVE 1.5 INCHES WHICH IS ABOVE NORMAL...LARGE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS WITH 1-2 INCH PER HOUR RAINFALL RATES. MOST AREAS WILL HAVE A HAZY WARM DAY WITH LOTS OF HIGH CLOUDS TOO. THUS IT WILL NOT BE BE A VERY SUNNY DAY. && AVIATION... HAZE WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO BELOW 7 MILES IN MOST LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. PILOTS SHOULD KEEP CURRENT ON LOCAL CONDITIONS AS THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP ANYWHERE ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. THE TWO FOCUS AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE IN SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA AND LONG AN OLD BOUNDARY IN NORTH-CENTRAL SECTIONS. THE JOHNSTOWN AND SOMERSET AREAS ARE AREAS WHERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOST LIKELY TODAY AND THIS EVENING. THUNDER SHOULD SETTLE DOWN OVER NIGHT. AREAS OF FOG WILL CREATE IFR AND AREAS OF LIFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 325 AM EDT WED JUL 13 2005) SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)... IR IMAGERY SHOWING THE REMNANTS OF DENNIS SPINNING IN PLACE OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA THIS MORNING. SHORT RANGE MODELS LEAVE THIS SYSTEM IN THE OHIO VALLEY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS...AS JET REMAINS WELL NORTH OF THE REGION. THE RESULT FOR CENTRAL PA WILL BE A STRETCH OF WARM/HUMID WX AS DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW DRAWS TROPICAL MOISTURE NORTHWRD INTO PA. DIURNAL INSTABILITY WILL YIELD SCT AFTN/EVENING TSTMS...SOME OF WHICH COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THIS COULD BE ESPECIALLY SO ON THURS/FRI...AS PWATS RISE TO NR 2 INCHES...COMBINED WITH WEAK STEERING FLOW ALOFT. LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)... LATEST MREF DATA SUGGESTS A S/WV WILL FINALLY CAPTURE REMNANTS OF DENNIS THIS WEEKEND...PRODUCING CONTINUED WARM...HUMID AND UNSETTLED WX OVER CENTRAL PA WITH A GOOD CHC OF TSTMS. LOCALIZED FLOODING STILL A POSSIBILITY AS MODEL PWAT VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES SAT/SUN. WARM/HUMID WX LIKELY TO CONTINUE EARLY NEXT WEEK AS AREA WILL BE UNDER INFLUENCE BERMUDA HIGH. HOWEVER...RIDGING ALOFT SHOULD ACT TO SUPPRESS CONVECTION. AVIATION... ADVERTISED TREND OF INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS BEGUN AS AIR MASS ASSOCIATED WITH REMNANTS OF DENNIS SLOWLY LIFTS INTO THE REGION. ACCORDINGLY...WIDESPREAD MVFR VIS CONDS IN HAZE AND FOG WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY WITH SOME LOCALIZED IFR CONDS THRU 12Z. MAINLY VFR CONDS WILL RETURN BY LATE MORNING HOWEVER...AREAS OF LIGHT HAZE IN THE 6SM RANGE WILL BE MORE PREVALENT THAN THE LAST FEW DAYS. ALSO AS ADVERTISED...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE WED AFTN WITH THE INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...HOWEVER COVERAGE WILL BE ISOLATED TO SCT AT MOST WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF A FRONT OR OTHER BOUNDARY TO FOCUS OR FORCE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. WIDESPREAD MVFR AND LOCALIZED IFR VIS CONDITIONS WILL RETURN AGAIN WED NIGHT INTO THUR MORN. EXPECT THIS PATTERN TO LAST AT LEAST THRU FRIDAY. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...GRUMM
