NWS State College, PA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 1:01 PM EST, 1 hour 29 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 201 PM EDT MON JUN 6 2005 .SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)... YET ANOTHER UPDATE FOR WW415 FOR SE COUNTIES TIL 8 PM. WW413 CONTINUES THROUGH 6 PM. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 124 PM EDT MON JUN 6 2005) SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)... ANOTHER QUICK UPDATE TO REWORK WORDING AND POPS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. WW413 CONTINUES THROUGH 6 PM...AND ADDITIONAL TSTORMS ALREADY DEVEOPING ALONG NEXT SHORTWAVE AHEAD OF COLD FRONT IN W PA WILL BRING ROUND 2 OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR CENTRAL PA THIS AFTERNOON. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 945 AM EDT MON JUN 6 2005) SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)... UPDATED FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #413. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 320 AM EDT MON JUN 6 2005) SHORT TERM (TODAY)... AFTER WHAT HAS BEEN A QUIET SPRING FOR SEVERE WEATHER THUS FAR...CENTRAL PA WILL HAVE ITS BEST CHANCE SO FAR THIS SEASON FOR STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE STORMS LATER TODAY. MOISTURE NOT A PROBLEM... AS SFC DEWPOINTS WILL AVERAGE IN THE MIDDLE 60S WITH DEEP LAYER PWATS 1.5. RESULTING MODEL CAPES EXCEED 2500 J/KG*2 IN BOTH NAM/GFS BUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE APPEARS OVERDONE IN FORECAST SOUNDINGS...SO THINK 2000 J/KG*2 IS A GOOD UPPER LIMIT. UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL SUPPORT STORMS ORGANIZED INTO LINES WITH WIND GUSTS THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...ALONG WITH HAIL. MAGNITUDE OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR MAY BE A LIMITING FACTOR FOR THESE STORMS...BUT GIVEN THE AVAILABLE CAPE THINK THE STAGE IS SET FOR AN ACTIVE DAY OF STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL PA. CONVECTION CURRENTLY DYING OVER NORTHWEST PA WITH AN IMPRESSIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY STILL EVIDENT JUST EAST OF PBZ EXTENDING NORTHWARD TO NEAR KBUF. UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO INITIATE NEW CONVECTION BY LATE MONDAY MORNING...SPREADING WEST TO EAST ACROSS CENTRAL PA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. FWC MOS MAX TEMPS APPEAR SUPERIOR TO MAV THIS MORNING...AS MOST AREAS WILL START OFF SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER THIS MORNING THAN YESTERDAY. SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST SECTIONS MAY FLIRT WITH 90 BEFORE STORMS MOVE IN LATER TODAY. LONG TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)... UPPER TROF WILL PUSH A WEAK SFC COLD FRONT/TROF ACROSS THE REGION BY TONIGHT...BRINGING AN END TO THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY BY LATE EVENING. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING RETURNS ON TUESDAY WITH 850 TEMPS AGAIN WARMING TO +18C...SO ANOTHER WARM AND MUGGY DAY IS IN STORE ON TUESDAY. BUT GIVEN THE INCREASING RIDGING/CAP AND LACK OF AN AVAILABLE TRIGGER...THINK TUESDAY WILL BE QUIET DESPITE PWATS BUILDING WELL OVER 1.5. REMAINDER OF WEEK WILL FEATURE MORE OF THE SAME WARMTH AND HUMIDITY AS LARGE UPPER RIDGE CENTERS ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. WITH THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS TO OUR EAST...THE AREA IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO SHORTWAVE ENCROACHMENT FROM THE WEST WHICH COULD EASILY INITIATE MAINLY AFTN/EVENING CONVECTION ON ANY AFTERNOON FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. TRUE SUMMER WEATHER IS FINALLY HERE. AVIATION... WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S WIDESPREAD LIGHT HAZE AND FOG WILL AFFECT MUCH OF THE REGION THROUGH THE PD WITH MVFR VISIBILITIES. ISOLD IFR VIS IN FOG/HAZE EXPECTED THROUGH LATE MORNING. CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTN PRODUCING SCT MVFR VIS AND CIGS WITH ISOLD IFR CONDS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...NONE. && SHORT TERM...RXR
