AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 338 PM EST MON MAR 13 2006 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/... SPECIAL SOUNDINGS AROUND THE REGION INDICATE SATURATED CONDITIONS UP THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE AS EARLIER CONVECTION HAS STABILIZED MOST OF OUR NORTHERN CWA. THE MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION MOVING INTO WESTERN PA NOW HAS SHOWN SOME SEVERE CHARACTERISTICS. THIS WILL BE THE CONCERN THIS EVENING AS SOME SUN HAS PUSHED TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID 70S OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND TO NEAR 80 OVER THE SOUTHEAST. THE SURFACE FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH WESTERN OHIO WITH A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES REPORTED OVER THE PAST HOUR. THIS WILL KEEP THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT GOING TONIGHT AND WITH THE STRONG 850 MB WINDS TO 60 KTS...THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS CONTINUES OVERNIGHT. COLD AIR RUSHING IN BEHIND THE FRONT OVERNIGHT WILL FILTER INTO THE FAR NORTHWEST ZONES CHANGING THE RAIN TO SNOW SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT. WE WILL SEE WORDING IN THE FORECAST OF STRONG STORMS AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN THE SAME PERIOD FOR THE FAR NORTHWEST. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... GUSTY WEST WINDS AND COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL DOMINATE THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA AS THE LOW PULLS WELL NORTH INTO ONTARIO. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL ON TUESDAY WITH RAIN SHOWERS MIXING WITH SNOW SHOWERS OVER ALL BUT THE SOUTHEAST BY EVENING. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON THURSDAY AND SPREAD A RAIN/SNOW MIX FROM WEST TO EAST. AS TEMPERATURES COOL OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY...AN AREA OF LIGHT SNOW WILL DEVELOP. TEMPERATURES REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. && .AVIATION... THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND SPREAD EAST ACROSS CENTRAL PENN AND THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER VALLEY LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT. NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE MVFR CLOUDS WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE NW THIRD OF PENN AT 19Z WILL MOVE EAST AT 25KT...OVERSPREADING MOST OF THE REGION (EXCEPT FOR PERHAPS THE LOWER SUSQ VALLEY) BY 23Z. BORDERLINE LLVL WIND SHEAR IS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING ACROSS THE SUSQ VALLEY IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. HOWEVER...IN THIS AREA WE STILL EXPECT SFC...SOUTHWESTERLY GRADIENT WINDS TO RANGE FROM 10 TO 20 MPH IN MOST PLACES. A BROKEN TO SOLID LINE OF STRONG TO POSSIBLE SEVERE TSRA (ACCOMPANIED BY LOCAL IFR CIGS/VSBYS...WIND GUSTS OVER 45 KT AND HAIL UP TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH IN DIAMETER) WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION WEST OF KELM...KUNV AND KAOO BETWEEN 22Z AND 01Z THIS EVENING (ONGOING FROM LATE AFTERNOON ON IN THE VCNTY OF KBFD). MORE LIKELY WILL BE INTENSIFICATION OF THIS LINE AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE WARMER...AND MORE UNSTABLE AIRMASS ALONG AND SE OF A LINE FROM KSEG TO KMRB LATER THIS EVENING. FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TONIGHT...GUSTY 30-40 MPH WESTERLY WINDS WILL BUFFET THE ENTIRE REGION BEGINNING DURING THE MID MORNING HOURS TUESDAY AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY. BKN-OVC MVFR CIGS WILL BE CONFINED MAINLY TO THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN MTNS ON TUESDAY. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...TYBURSKI LONG TERM...TYBURSKI AVIATION...LAMBERT
