Focus City: State College, PA - THON
Short term (Rest of the week and THON weekend):
A couple of mid-latitude cyclones will be moving through the area this week. The first one will produce snow showers (540-Dm 1000-500-mb thickness line and 850-mb, 0-deg.-C Isotherm are south of PA) tonight and tomorrow. After a brief break and a warm-up, the second one will produce rain showers (a mix in some spots) Thursday AM thru Thursday night, and then change to snow showers for the first half of Friday. On Saturday, expect a clipper to move by, but most areas of PA will remain snow-free. High pressure moving in between the systems on Friday and Saturday will briefly stay in south-central PA before the clipper moves in.
Long-term (Storm potential):
It appears that one nor'easter will threaten on Monday AM, with a 36-hour watch period: most likely, it will move off shore well before reaching 40 degrees N latitude. It appears that about four more systems will threaten during the week or two after THON weekend.
I encourage all to go to cws.met.psu.edu and check out the five-day forecast - I run tomorrow afternoon's shift (expect the page to be updated by 5-5:30 PM). I will write another entry before THON - probably Thursday night; hence, why I called this "...Part I." Travel safely if coming up this weekend!!!
