Tuesday Night Technical Discussion

Synopsis:

The ridge to our west will remain fairly stationary and the short wave energy will continue to produce scattered thunderstorms through the middle of the week. With the return of a northwesterly flow, a clearing will occur for the end of the work week and provide pleasant conditions for Friday and into the weekend. A weak warm front will make its way across the state along with the chance for scattered showers and storms for the weekend.

Short Term (Tuesday Night thru Wednesday Night):

Scattered showers will continue to make their way across central and western PA tonight and into the early morning hours as energy associated with the shortwave aloft will continue provide scattered storms for Wednesday afternoon for the western and central portions of the state. A mean Northerly flow will return late Wednesday night and drier conditions should follow in reference to the 18Z NAM shows dew points in the low 60's for the majority of the state.

Long Term (Thursday thru Weekend):

A northerly flow will begin to bring much more comfortable and drier conditions for the end of the week. High pressure will build over the region and skies will clear ahead of the weak warm front that will move through over the weekend. The weak front associated with a Low in Canada will bring scattered showers across the area for the weekend.
