Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 2:00 PM EST, 3 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 300 PM EDT FRI JUL 29 2005 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)... SAT PICS DO SHOW THE APPCH OF A FRONT FROM ONT...BUT IT IS WORKING ON SOME REALLY DRY AIR. ALSO...THERE ARE NO STRONG REASONS FOR THE SRN STREAM MOISTURE (AND ASSOCD LIGHT PRECIP IN VA/MD) TO MOVE MUCH FARTHER NORTHWARD...AS TROF AXIS OVERHEAD AND FLOW WILL BEGIN TO FLATTEN OUT LATER THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHC FOR PRECIP IN THE EXTREME SERN COS FOR THIS EVENING...AS IT WILL BE TOO CLOSE TO TOTALLY REMOVE. TEMPS TONIGHT MUCH LIKE LAST NIGHT...AND PERSISTENCE SHOULD ALSO HOLD FOR SAT MAXES. AS TEMPS GRADUALLY COOL ALOFT...OUR CHANCE FOR A POP-UP THUNDER-SHOWER OR TWO WILL INCREASE EACH AFTN THIS WEEKEND. SO WILL HINT AT THAT BY ADDING IN ISOLD SHRA (NOT TS - YET) TO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ZNS FOR SAT AFTN/EVENING. && .LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)... MAIN CORE OF THE JET STREAM IS FORECAST TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE REGION FROM SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE OVER PA. THIS WILL LEAD TO NEAR NORMAL/SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS WITH BELOW NORMAL POPS THROUGH THE PD. WEAK FRONTAL PASSAGES ARE HINTED AT DURING THE PD...NOTABLY TUE INTO WED AND FRIDAY AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY ESCAPES NRN STREAM FLOW OVER SRN CANADA. ANY PCPN ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FRONTS HOWEVER SHOULD BE RELATIVELY SCT AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED...ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THIS PAST WEEK. && .AVIATION... SAME OLD STORY WITH SRN STREAM MOISTURE BEING KEPT JUST OFF TO OUR SOUTH. IT WILL TRY TO WAGGLE NORTH ONCE MORE TONIGHT...BUT CHC OF PRECIP SO LOW THAT I WILL NOT PUT IT IN THE KMDT TAF ATTM. DIFF STORY IN THE CENTRAL MTS...WITH MDT CU ALL OVER THE PLACE THIS AFTN. THESE CLOUDS ARE NOT GROWING VERY TALL DUE TO CAPPING INVERSION/WARMER TEMPS ALOFT. BUT...WITH WEAK RDR ECHOES EVIDENT ALREADY THIS AFTN...WILL INCLUDE A VCSH FOR A FEW HRS AT KAOO. REST OF TERMINALS WILL REMAIN VFR UNTIL FOG STARTS TONIGHT UNDER CLEARING SKIES. WILL NOT SINK ANYONE THO...JUST PUTTING MOST SITES INTO MVFR. CU AGAIN TMRW...WHICH MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD AND HAVE GREATER CHC FOR PRECIP - BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENUF TO PUT IN A PROB30 OR TEMPO FOR IT IN THE TAFS AT H+23. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...DANGELO LONG TERM...GARTNER AVIATION...DANGELO
