Attn: Potter

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 AM THIS MORNING/...

SFC FRONT ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH THE AREA...BUT FASTER PROGRESS

THROUGH MD/VA WITH A NARROW RAINBAND AND SLOWER PROGRESS INTO THE

NC MTS...WHERE BFD STILL HAS AN ERLY WIND. TEMPS PLUMMETING BEHIND

THE FRONT AND ALL PLACES THAT HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 1HR IN THE WEST

WINDS HAVE TURNED TO SNOW. GOOD NEWS THERE IS THAT THE HEAVIEST

PRECIP IS RAIN AND LIFTING N THRU THE CENTRAL/NRN MTS ATTM.

HOWEVER...AS FCST...THE HEAVY PRECIP IS ROTATING SLIGHTLY

WWD...AND WILL FALL BACK INTO THE COLD AIR SHORTLY IN THE NWRN

MTS. WILL CONTINUE SOLID FCST OF SNOW AMTS THERE. HOWEVER...QPF

FROM BOTH GFS AND NAM ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE. THIS MAY REQUIRE

CLOSER ATTENTION. THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND WINDS GUSTING TO

ALMOST 50 MPH LATER WILL LIKELY CREATE VERY POOR DRIVING

CONDS...SO HAVE ALL THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN MTNS IN A WINT WX

ADVISORY LATE TONIGHT...IN ADDITION TO A WIND ADVISORY LATE FOR

LAURELS. THE SHARP DROP IN TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO LIKELY TURN WET

ROADS TO ICE...CAUSING UNTREATED ROADS TO EXPERIENCE FLASH

FREEZES. STEADY PRECIP SHOULD BE OVER OR ABOUT TO LEAVE THE NORTH

AROUND 12Z.

Temperature just dropped 1.8°F (1°C) in 6 minutes. :o

After the torrential downpour in State College, fell from almost 42 down to 38 in just about 15 minutes.

State College should be over to snow very shortly. Snowin half decently here in Bellwood, and winds are whipping it around pretty good. Hopefully the road crews are gettin on the roads before it goes all Day after Tomorrow and flash freezes everything.

Ya, I'm thinking around 2:30 here. It is a bit annoying to see the temperatures continue to hold steady (actually up 0.3F in the past 15 minutes :huh: ), but I know it's just temporary. :P

EDIT: Ya, just dropped 0.7F in the past 5 minutes. We're good. :D

Looks like lifting and orographic lifting along with the bombing low is leading to development of yet another moderate to near heavy band from Breezwood on north to center county as long as the mixing line continues east nicely some of you just got real lucky! Enjoy it this is when it will get fun for you.
