SYNOPSIS
Our preview of summer weather through midweek, as a ridge of high pressure maintains warm and mainly dry conditions and light winds. A storm system moving north of the Great Lakes will push its trailing cold front through the region Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing the next chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lingering showers should become confined to southern PA on Friday before returning northward Memorial Day weekend.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/
Isolated showers and storms that impacted north-central Pennsylvania during the early evening hours have all but dissipated.
The overnight will be similar to the last few nights, with perhaps a bit less nighttime stratus. Valley fog is expected to develop once again, and have maintained the mention of patchy fog in the forecast. There is some high cloudiness passing overhead, so we'll see if that had a detrimental affect on fog development. Min temps will be mild, bottoming out in the 55-60 degree range.
SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/
The summer-like stretch of weather continues through midweek, with highs on Tuesday expected to be a a few degrees warmer than Monday's highs.
Otherwise, Tuesday will be very similar to Monday with isolated showers/storms developing in the heat of the day and primarily over the higher terrain. However, most locations should remain dry once again.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/
An approaching cold front will bring a chc of showers/storms late in the day on Wednesday. SPC has painted a MRGL SVR risk for northwestern PA on Wed, with general thunder elsewhere.
More widespread showers are expected to arrive late Wed night into Thursday, as cold front slowly sags southward across the region. The best chance of widespread measurable rainfall appears to be Thursday with this setup.
Although Wednesday will be the warmest day of the week for most, temperatures should remain on the mild side through the end of the week. The cold front will come through on Thursday and then stall just south of PA on Friday. The proximity of the stalled front will result in a continued chance of scattered showers and t-storms for at least southern PA.
There remains some uncertainty in the forecast heading into the Memorial Day weekend, but it appears that Central PA's weather could remain mild but showery.
AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Patchy fog and low cloud impacts possible again during the predawn and early morning hours Tuesday. The best area for category reductions due to fog will be in the SE and the Susquehanna Valley. Elsewhere will likely remain VFR through the evening with some VCFG possible as patchy fog develops overnight.
VFR will prevail for most of Tuesday after the early morning fog lifts out of the region. There are a few scattered showers possible for the NW PA, but their coverage remains low and confidence is too low to include them in the BFD TAF other than a mention of VCSH.
Outlook...
Tue...VFR/no sig wx.
Wed-Thu...Chance of t-storms.
Fri-Sat...Mainly VFR, slight chance of showers.
CTP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
None.
