Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service State College PA 710 AM EDT Sun Aug 9 2020

SYNOPSIS. The heat and humidity will ramp back up across central PA this week. The return of hot/humid weather will help fuel isolated to scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. Patchy fog in the valleys across CPA early this morning will mix out faster than yesterday. Expect plenty of sunshine to start today with temperatures reaching the lower to mid 80s around midday.

An isolated pulse t-storm will be possible this afternoon/early evening along and to the east of the I-81 corridor - where the 09/00Z HREF mean shows a narrow axis of 500-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE.

MaxT will be a few to several degrees warmer than yesterday with highs in the 80s to around 90F. Dewpoints in the 65-70F range across the mid/lower Susquehanna Valley will make it feel very muggy.

Mainly clear again tonight with patchy fog in the valleys and lows trending much warmer across the northwest Alleghenies.

SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/. Heat and humidity ramps up significantly on Monday. Widespread highs in the mid 80s to low 90s will be +5 to +15 degrees above average for early August. Max HX values will push 100F across parts of the mid to lower Susquehanna Valley which will warrant a mention in the HWO (increased risk of heat-related illness).

The HREF mean along with a consensus of global models seem to favor the northeast 1/3 of the CWA with the best chance for diurnal convection Monday afternoon/evening. Expect any diurnal convection to fade by Monday night. Cloud cover and POPs should trend upward over the western Alleghenies into Tuesday morning ahead of an approaching frontal boundary.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. Slight troughiness and a slow moving front will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms much of the time from Tuesday on. The best chance for showers or thunderstorms will be each afternoon and evening, with convection diminishing after sunset. Some areas of central Pennsylvania are still experiencing abnormally dry conditions and could use the rain, while other areas, mainly east of the Susquehanna have received 4 or more inches of rain over the last week.

Heat Index values take a run at the upper 90s in the Lower Susq. through the middle of the week, then temperatures will trend closer to normal through the end of the week.

AVIATION /11Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. Patchy fog in the valleys across CPA early this morning will mix out faster than yesterday. Expect plenty of sunshine and widespread VFR conditions from mid morning onward. Only glitch may be late this afternoon over the far SE, where an isolated tstm will be possible. Winds will be light from the west.

Patchy valley fog develops again tonight.

Outlook .

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

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

CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.

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.
