331 PM EDT SUN MAR 29 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK NORTH OF PENNSYLVANIA TODAY...DRAGGING A
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE STATE. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE AREA LATE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HOWEVER...AN ACTIVE WEATHER
PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THIS WEEK WITH STORM SYSTEMS LIKELY AFFECTING
THE STATE WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM MONDAY MORNING/... SURFACE LOW MOVING EAST
OF LAKE HURON AS UPPER LOW SPINS THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL OHIO.
OCCLUDED FRONT MOVING INTO CENTRAL PA AT THIS TIME. CONVECTION
FIRING UP OVER NORTHERN MARYLAND AND MOVING NORTHEAST INTO MY
SOTHEAST ZONES. DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 50S TO LOW 60S OVER SOUTHEAST
PA AND HAVE SEEN A LINE DEVELOP AS IT MOVES INTO THE JUICY AIR.

AS THIS FEATURE EXITS THE STATE TO THE EAST OVERNIGHT...WINDS FROM
925 MB TO 700 MB SHIFT TO THE WEST THEN NORTHWEST BY 12Z. NAM12
INDICATES PRECIPITATION HUGGING LAKE ERIE AS THE WINDS SHIFT TO
THE WEST. TEMPERATURES ALOFT WOULD SUPPORT LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS EVENTUALLY MOVING INLAND TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
LAURELS BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 8 AM. AMOUNTS SHOULD BE AROUND AN
INCH. WINDS WILL INCREASE AND A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN POSTED FOR
THE LAUREL MOUNTAINS FROM 11 PM FOR GUSTS TO 50 MPH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... MUCH
COOLER AIR WRAPPING BEHIND THE TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL APPROACH FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY LATE TDY WITH A RETURN TO A WINTERLIKE LAKE EFFECT
REGIME TONIGHT AND MONDAY. OROGRAPHICALLY ENHANCED LAKE EFFECT
SHRA WILL CHANGE TO SHSN OVR THE ALLEGHENIES TONIGHT AS 850 MB
TEMPS FALL TO ARND -9C. TYPICAL FOR THE TIME OF YEAR...WARM GRND
TEMPS SHOULD LIMIT SNOW ACCUMS IN THE VALLEYS. HOWEVER...FEEL UP
TO AN INCH OR SO IS LIKELY BY MONDAY MORNING ALONG THE RIDGETOPS
OF NW PA AND THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS.

I INCREASED THE WESTERLY WINDS FOR LATE TONIGHT/EARLY MONDAY AS WE
SEE THE DESCENDING...THERMALLY DIRECT BRANCH/LEFT ENTRANCE REGION
OF THE UPPER JET BECOMING LOCATED ACROSS SOUTHERN PENN AND THE
LAUREL HIGHLANDS. GUSTS AROUND 45 MPH ARE POSSIBLE... ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE LAURELS WHERE KJST NAM BUFKIT PROFILE SHOWS THE 45 TO
50 KT ISOTACH EXTENDING AS LOW AS 1.2-1.5 KFT AGL BETWEEN 06Z-12Z
MONDAY. THIS MAY REQUIRE WIND ADVISORY ISSUANCE IN THAT AREA.

TRANQUIL AND MILDER WX SHOULD FOLLOW FOR TUESDAY...AS HIGH PRES RIDGE
BUILDS OVR THE STATE. A BIT OF HIGH CLOUDS MAY BEGIN SPILLING OVR
UPPER RIDGE AHEAD OF NEXT STORM SYSTEM. HOWEVER...MSUNNY SKIES SHOULD
SUFFICE WITH HIGHS REBOUNDING TO NR 60F BASED ON MODEL SOUNDINGS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MINIMAL SPREAD AMONGST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS MID-WEEK...WHICH POSES
HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MID LVL TROUGH INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS WITH A
RIDGE FOCUSED ACROSS NEW ENGLAND. EXPECT A WEAK INFLUENCE FROM
THIS RIDGE TO IMPACT MID-ATLANTIC REGION. UPPER LVL FLOW SHUD TAKE
MID-WEEK SHORTWAVE ACROSS GRT LKS REGION LAYING OUT A WEAK FRONTAL
BNDRY SE THRU MID-ATLANTIC REGION. OPER GFS PAINTS A SECONDARY LOW
DEVELOPING IN WAKE OF MID-WEEK SYSTEM...AND BRINGS IT TOWARDS MID-
ATLANTIC. MID-ATLANTIC SHUD REMAIN ON THE UPSLOPE OF AN 850MB
THERMAL TROUGH...AIDING IN TEMPS REMAINING NEAR SEASONAL CONDS
THRU EXTENDED PERIOD. THE QUESTION ARISES IF WE BECOME CAD IN THE
THUR-FRI PERIOD WITH A LGT ONSHORE FLOW BTWN SYSTEMS.

TROUGH AXIS QUICKLY SWINGS NE FRI-SAT ALLOWING WEAK SFC RIDGE TO
SLIDE IN BEHIND IT...CONF IS MARGINAL GIVEN INCREASING SPREAD
AMONGS GEFS MEMBERS.

CIGS AND VSBYS FOR CENTRAL PA AIRFIELDS. SAT IMAGERY INDICATES
EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER BUT A FEW BREAKS SHOWING UP NOW IN CENTRAL
