AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STATE COLLEGE PA 431 PM EDT TUE JUN 23 2015 .SYNOPSIS... THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA THROUGH THIS EVENING. FAIR AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. AN UNSETTLED AND POTENTIALLY WET PATTERN WILL PERSIST FROM LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/... ...2030Z UPDATE... REMOVED NORTHERN THIRD OF WW #342...WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT SOUTH OF A CLEARFIELD TO CENTRE TO SNYDER TO COLUMBIA COUNTY LINE. MESOANALYSIS AND LATEST HI RES MODEL DATA SUGGEST THE GREATEST RISK/THREAT FOR SEVERE T-STORMS WILL BE FOCUSED OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL PA /SOUTH OF I-80/ THIS AFTN THROUGH THIS EVENING. EXPECT COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS TO INCREASE THRU 22-23Z ACROSS SOUTH- CENTRAL PA WHERE A VERY MOIST BLYR /SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 70S/ CONTINUES TO HEAT/DESTABILIZE FAIRLY AGGRESSIVELY. WE MAY CONSIDER TALKING WITH SPC ABOUT TRIMMING BACK THE FAR NRN COUNTIES INCLUDED IN SVR TSTM WATCH #342. A POTENT SHORT-WAVE TROUGH WILL PROGRESS FROM THE ONTARIO-QUEBEC BORDER TOWARD THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WITH A CORRIDOR OF WEAK HEIGHT FALLS OVERSPREADING THE NERN U.S. LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT. AT THE SURFACE...THE COLD FRONT RELATED TO THE ERN CANADA TROUGH WILL ADVANCE SEWD THROUGH CENTRAL PA BY LATE THIS EVENING. AT 18Z THE COLD FRONT APPEARS TO BE PUSHING SEWD ACROSS THE LOWER GRT LKS. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WX RISK WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN STRONG MAINLY WLY/UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW THROUGH A DEEP LAYER...STEEP LLVL LAPSE RATES AND SUFFICIENT DCAPE OVER 1000 J/KG. AN ATTENDANT RISK FOR A FEW ROTATING STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING AN ISOLATED TORNADO/LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO EXIST BUT AT A LOWER PROBABILITY. && .SHORT TERM /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/... THE LAST SEVERAL RUNS OF THE HRRR SHOWS SEMI-ORGANIZED/ORGANIZED TSTM CLUSTER EXITING THE SRN/SERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA BY 23Z WHICH WOULD COINCIDE WELL WITH THE EXPIRATION OF SVR TSTM WATCH #342. A NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN AIRMASS IS EXPECTED TONIGHT AS MUCH DRIER AIR WITH BELOW NORMAL PWS SPREADS OVER THE AREA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. FCST MINS WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 50F IN THE NW TO THE LOW 60S IN THE SE. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... PLEASANT DAY ON WED WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND HIGH TEMPS NEARLY SPOT ON DAILY NORMALS. DID NOT CHANGE MUCH ON WED. THE AIR CONDITIONERS GET A BREAK WED NIGHT AS LOWS FALL BACK INTO THE 50S IN ALL BUT THE SOUTH CENTRAL MTNS AND LOWER SUSQ. CLOUDS INCREASE ON THU AS A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE BRINGS POTENTIAL FOR SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS...ESP FOR SW HALF. TEMPS REMAIN CLOSE TO NORMAL. DID EDGE TEMPS DOWN A LITTLE...AND UP POPS SOME. DID NOT CHANGE MUCH FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. DID LOWER TEMPERATURES A LITTLE. OVERALL...AS WESTERN RIDGE BUILDS...LOOKING AT A SLIGHT COOL DOWN ACROSS THE EAST. THE MAIN THING IS THIS IS A WET PATTERN. ANYWAY...AFTER A BRIEF BREAK WITH THE SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTH ON FRIDAY...THE WEEKEND LOOKS WET. PERHAPS A BRIEF BREAK FROM THE WET WEATHER BY NEXT TUE. && .AVIATION /21Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... DID ADJUST TAFS FOR CONVECTION. STORMS SLOW TO MOVE SOUTH OF SOUTH CENTRAL PA. HOWEVER...EXPECT THINGS TO IMPROVE ACROSS THE SOUTH BY EARLY EVENING. THE MAIN THING WILL BE FOG LATE TONIGHT. ALSO SOME CHANCE OF LOW CIGS AT BFD AND JST. WED LOOKS TO BE A NICE DAY WITH VFR CONDITIONS BY 12Z. MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS BY THU AFT. OUTLOOK... THU-SUN...REDUCTIONS IN SCT SHRA/TSRA. && .CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
