Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 435 AM EDT Sat Aug 8 2020

SYNOPSIS. The weather pattern will trend drier and increasingly warmer over the weekend with heat and humidity ramping back up into next week. The return of hot/humid conditions next week will help fuel isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. Fog and low clouds will cover much of CPA early this morning. The fog may be locally dense with visibility below 1/2 mile. Expect fog/low clouds to give way to a partly-mostly sunny afternoon with a spotty shower or t-storm possible (20-25 POP) mainly across the eastern 1/2 of the area.

Late-day cumulus/stray shower will fade this evening with mainly clear skies tonight. Valley fog is likely to form into early Sunday morning especially across the northern tier where lows will be in the mid-upper 50s.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/. High pressure will provide fair weather on Sunday. Temperatures will continue to trend warmer with an uptick in humidity levels. Max temps will run 5 to 10 degrees above normal with highs around 90F in the south central ridge and valley region. Sunday night will be muggy with lows in the 60-70 degree range.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. Flat flow or even a very slight ridging overhead to start the period will be followed by a minor trough and attendant front for mid-week which will lead to a daily chance for showers and thunderstorms from mid week on. The best chance for showers or thunderstorms will be in the afternoon and evening, with convection diminishing after sunset.

Heat Index values take a run at the upper 90s in the Lower Susq. Continued to stay a little conservative for afternoon dewpoints vs NBM guidance.

AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. Plenty of river/valley fog ongoing this morning along with two areas of low stratus, one over the Susq river valley and the other along the western high terrain. These are bringing MVFR conditions to the SE and IFR-VLIFR to remaining terminals.

Conditions will improve quickly after sunrise Saturday morning, with VFR conditions areawide by mid/late morning continuing through the remainder of the day. An isolated shower or tstm will be possible over the eastern half of CWA in the afternoon. Winds will be light through the period.

Outlook .

Sun-Mon . Mainly VFR. Patchy low clouds and fog possible early in the morning.

Tue-Wed . Increasing potential for showers and thunderstorms, along with associated restrictions.

CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
