I also have had the theory for years that if State College is not in play for the bullseye, they are not as interested & need to play catch up whenever they feel the need.
Look at the storm a few days ago, State College was in the alleged bullseye 2 days out, so Watches & Warnings got hoisted super early. Then as @MAG5035 & others pointed out, they held on to the Warning way too long in the central counties and somehow had a Warning showing for only 2-4!
