Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 
215 PM EDT Thursday Aug 28 2008 


Synopsis... 
the moisture from the remnants of Fay will be stuck over the area 
through Friday. A cold front will push through late Friday pushing 
the moisture eastward keeping clouds and a risk of showers. High 
pressure will build into the district for the Holiday weekend with 
dry weather and lots of sunshine. 


&& 


Near term /through Friday/... 
moisture from Fay will be trapped over the area through tonight 
with cloudy skies and a chance of showers. Expect to see a decrease 
in cloud cover Friday as frontal boundary will move through Ohio 
and push everything eastward. This front will push dewpoints up 
and decrease atmospheric stability so showers and thunderstorms 
are possible ahead of front. Warmer temperatures expected Friday. 




&& 


Short term /Friday night through Saturday night/... 


The cold front will push east of the district Friday night with 
some cloudiness and the a chance of showers into the early morning. 
High pressure building into the district will bring dry weather 
for Saturday into Saturday night. Temperatures will slowly 
moderate to seasonal norms. 


&& 


Long term /Sunday through Thursday/... 
another strong high pressure will build in Sunday keeping the area 
dry through the extended period. 


&& 


Aviation /18z Thursday through Tuesday/... 
organized precipitation has exited the area...with isolated showers and 
patches of drizzle remaining. However...low clouds continue to 
blanket the region...extending westward to near the Indiana 
border. Expect IFR/MVFR ceilings to prevail through Friday 
morning...with brief breaks possible this afternoon...and once again 
in advance of the front Friday. Given the recent rain and winds 
slackening tonight...expect areas of fog to develop overnight. 


A cold front will enter the region from the upper Midwest 
Friday...bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms with MVFR 
potential Friday afternoon. Any precipitation threat will end by Saturday...with 
high pressure providing for dry/VFR conditions through early 
next week.
