Aviation Forecasts and Information Page - NWS State College PA

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Some fog around the area as we head into sunrise here now, 
but more in the way of low CIGS in some spots like IPT, UNV,
BFD, and LNS. Other sites still clear.

Main issue the next few hours will be area of showers and 
storms moving east around 30 mph from the western part of 
the state.

Also added in some more detail early Sunday morning for the 
upcoming 12Z TAF package.

More information below.

Storms have mostly cleared out of PA tonight without any more
impacts expected at the terminals from them. Lingering low level
moisture and radiational cooling have allowed for BFD and LNS to
drop to IFR/LIFR conditions where it is expected they will
remain for the rest of the night and into the early morning.
Although LNS may lift in and out in the coming hours with some 
high clouds still traversing the area. With recent rainfall in 
the area and satellite showing fog development in Lycoming 
county, IPT is another terminal to watch for IFR restrictions 
tonight. Development in these restrictions less certain/may only
be around sunrise at UNV and AOO. 

Some high-res models have signal for a round of early 
convection in the early-to-mid morning moving through the
northwest. This may affect BFD. During the afternoon, some 
gusts to 20kts are possible, most likely at BFD, JST, AOO, and 
UNV. Once again, scattered storms are possible in the afternoon
with mentions as PROB30s. High PWATs and heavy downpours means 
that any of the storms may be capable of brief IFR visibility 
restrictions should they cross paths with a terminal.

Outlook... 

Sat...Pockets of fog in the morning. Scattered showers/isolated
t-storms with heavy downpours and localized restrictions.

Sun...Mostly dry, some potential for isolated showers across far
W PA. Restrictions possible.

Mon-Wed...Scattered showers/storms. Restrictions possible.
