Fxus61 kctp 171325 afdctp area forecast discussion national weather service state college pa 925 am edt Sat aug 17 2019 Synopsis Very warm and humid conditions will persist through this weekend into early next week, and a trough of low pressure will keep the mention of mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms in the forecast. Near term through tonight Early morning meso-anal shows central pa in a pwat minima with stable air, which makes sense given the extent of the fog and low clouds that fill the valleys. The hrrr and rap both generate a respectable amount of CAPE by early afternoon with one axis of best instability over my nwrn zones and another over the susq valley. The hrrr and href are more robust developing convection over the NW associated with low level convergence along a weak surface boundary, with the eastern convection being more pulsey and disorganized. Fairly decent mid level flow and associated 0-6km shear could support a few rotating updrafts and possible isolated severe weather across the northern half of the state this afternoon, which is where SPC has a marginal risk of severe. Hpc has placed our nern zones on a marginal risk for excessive rain with pwats forecast to surge to between 1.5 and 1.7" over the eastern zones this afternoon. High temps this afternoon will range from 80f over the northern mtns, to near 90 in the SE metro areas. Short term Sunday through Monday night Another shortwave is progged to track north of pa on Sunday. Still, enough uvvel will form over fairly subtle boundaries and a lake erie and atlantic ocean breeze penetrating inland to our nw and SE zones to bring additional showers and scattered tsra Sunday afternoon and evening. Sunday's high temps will be a deg or 2 warmer than those of today (Saturday).

Highs will range from around 80 along the ny border to around 90 along the mason-dixon line. The combination of heat and humidity will drive heat indices into the mid 90s over the lower susq valley for a few hours Saturday afternoon. Long term Tuesday through Friday Rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely Tuesday and Wednesday in advance of a cold front pushing southeast from the great lakes. Would not be surprised to see at least a marginal severe storm risk evolve in this window at shorter ranges. The uptick in clouds and storms should trim back temperatures from near-record levels, but readings will still be above average for late august. MAX heat index values should also trend lower tue-wed. Pockets of locally heavy rainfall will be possible through midweek although frontal progression should limit totals to some extent. The risk for storms shifts to the south on Thursday as push of cooler and drier air brings a refreshing end to the week. Aviation 13z Saturday through Wednesday Expect low clouds and fog to dissipate through mid morning with all sites trendingVFR by 15-16z. Another repeat pattern of widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop through this afternoon and evening with focus across the northern and eastern airspace. Isolated storms will dissipate tonight with patchy fog and low cloud restrictions possible into Sunday morning. Outlook Mon-wed... Rounds of showers thunderstorms possible, mainly in the afternoon early evening hours. Late night and early morning fog low clouds. Ctp watches warnings advisories None. Synopsis... La corte lambert near term... La corte lambert short term... Fitzgerald la corte lambert long term... Steinbugl aviation... La corte steinbugl

These are not intended to be fact, they are my opinions. 4) Small programs that generate result presented on a web page. Like any computer program, these may and in some cases do have errors. Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. 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.
