Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service State College PA 
338 PM EDT Friday Oct 10 2008 


Synopsis... 
high pressure will continue to control the weather through next 
Tuesday...resulting in warm days and cool nights...with plenty 
of sunshine. A cold front will move across the area late Tuesday 
into Wednesday. Weak high pressure with slightly cooler temperatures 
will build into the area on Thursday. 


&& 


Near term /until 6 am Saturday morning/... 
clear skies will prevail. The combination of light winds and 
clear skies will result in patchy River Valley fog after 
midnight. 


&& 


Short term /6 am Saturday morning through 6 PM Saturday/... 
after some morning fog...plenty of sunshine will prevail 
on Saturday...with above normal temperaturess...as high 
pressure remains across the region. 


&& 


Long term /Saturday night through Friday/... 
plenty of sunshine will prevail into Tuesday...as a large 
ridge of high pressure surface and aloft remains across the 
eastern states. Heights will approach 594. Some patchy river 
fog possible. There will be a large range in min and maximum temperatures... 
as dewpoints remain fairly low...and winds will not be that 
strong. 


Some showers possible late Tuesday into Wednesday...as a front 
moves across the region. Heights stay above 570...so not 
looking at anything real cold. The real cold and stormy 
weather will stay across the western states. 


Models hint at heights falling off later in the week...with 
a weak low moving across or just to the south of the area on 
Friday. Thus went with chance probability of precipitation for Friday...gmos probability of precipitation. Went 
with gmos or near gmos temperatures for Friday. 


&& 


Aviation /19z Friday through Wednesday/... 
a prolonged period of mainly VFR flying conditions and 
light/variable winds will continue into early next week courtesy 
of high pressure. Some patchy valley/radiational fog will form 
early in the morning hours tomorrow and Sunday. Climatology 
suggests bfd and ipt will be most susceptible to visible restrictions 
between 09-13z...with the least chance of any fog at jst and MDT. 


The next front is forecast to approach the region by the middle of 
next week. 


&& 


Ctp watches/warnings/advisories... 
none.
