heavy_wx Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Maybe some snowflakes Saturday for the high elevations of the state. 850 mb temperatures drop between -2C and -5C (from south to north) with some residual low-level moisture from the Great Lakes.

I know all my friends still in school are picketing with the professors if they are engaging. I hope they come to an agreement soon or there will be a lot of anxious students and seriously PO'd parents who saved up this money for their kids to get an education.

Broke a 100 year old record yesterday, can we break another today? Well, we did down here at least. 86 officially was the high. Today I got to 80, not sure what the official number was though.

Yes, me too. I'm leaving for Pittsburgh tomorrow around noon and coming home Monday. Steelers-Pats game on Sunday. We go out once every year. My son is not happy about Big Ben...I said, hey, at least you know going in it probably won't be pretty. Pretty crazy weather going on in the central mountains right now. That's a lot of water.

MAG5035 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Doppler estimated rainfall from overnight and so far today... Green shading is in excessive of approx 4", Purples are 5-6"+. Blue is in excess of 7". The doppler estimates primarily from the training storms overnight are pretty staggering in parts of Centre/Clinton/Lycoming counties. One excessive area just missed the State College area but ran up Bald Eagle Valley including smaller towns like Howard, Milesburg, and Beech Creek. Milesburg and Howard had been dealing with evacuations and water rescues overnight. A second area of excessive rains then started from I-80 near Loganton and ran up through Jersey Shore and Williamsport. 4-7+ inch estimates are pretty common in these two areas. Most of it fell in a few hours overnight last night, which easily exceeded even what had been high flash flood guidance numbers in that region of PA as the north-central part of the state was still in a moderate drought as of the 18th. The leading edge of additional rain and storms is moving into those affected areas now and could cause additional issues. The storms on the leading edge moved through here a bit ago and once again had intense rainfall, so I'm a bit concerned for that. Here are some FFG values as of this morning, 1 and 3hr. You can see that the north-central cannot take very much additional rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Nice squall line setting up to my west as I type this, so it "could" get a bit interesting here in a little bit. As for the heat this past week, I had 84 on Tuesday and 82 on Wednesday. Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday was crazy. Up in the higher elevations (Hazleton) it was still 72 at 4:00am. It was like a sultry July night, not a mid October one! I almost wish I'd have had a Tioga run today like I get on many Fridays. I'd have seen some interesting stuff on my way up there...

MillvilleWx Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Strike over, breezy fall day with Millersville Homecoming and temps struggling in the 50's. Wish I could be at campus for Homecoming, should be a great time. Sorry to hear about all the flooding to then north. Hope everything is well.

MillvilleWx Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Looks like we'll be getting some pretty cold temps around the region tonight and into Wednesday morning. Let's play a mini game. What is everyone's prediction of temperatures at MDT and THV? Both have their own intricacies, so I'm curious to see what others think. Quite the high building to the north, so temps could surprise. I'm going with: MDT: 31 THV: 27 Anyone else care to join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 That robust building high may also assist in potentially giving far north-central and NE PA their first wintry precip of the season as the high retreats in advance of the approaching system from the midwest tomorrow night into Thursday. Given the progged track over Lake Erie and Ontario, the potential period for wintry precip would be brief.. with a low threat of what would be minor accumulations. What is most likely is a rain/snow or rain/sleet mix quickly transitioning to rain by Thursday morning. As far as any bigger PA cities that see this, likely the US 6 corridor starting from around Bradford and especially Wellsboro and Mansfield. Scranton *may* be cold enough but I think this threat will be north and northeast of Williamsport and Scranton/WB. BGM and eastern upstate NY have more potential for a longer period of snow and the Catskills and especially Adirondacks look to have their first legit snowfall of the year.

MillvilleWx Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Sorry for the delay. Had one hell of a busy morning at work. Just a recap for the two site temps, THV dipped below guidance and forecast per the usual in this setup. Min temp of 25 was achieved thanks to amazing radiational cooling night. MDT of course was warmer thanks to light winds that stuck around in the higher elevation. Min temp of 33 was achieved. Great job by pasnownut nailing the low at MDT. We all missed THV too high, which is usually the case for this site. It's amazing how fast they can cool on a setup like this. Heck, the main high wasn't even over them haha.

Rickg2 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 We had some sleet for a brief time this morning. Counties to the north and poconos to the south had freezing rain. It was weird seeing schools closed. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
