.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 AM THIS MORNING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
WWX ADVY WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 7AM...AND WILL LIKELY BE DISCONTINUED
ON TIME.

COASTAL LOW JUST ABOUT TO OUR LATITUDE...AND WINDS ARE ALREADY
BRINGING DRIER AIR IN UNDERNEATH THE CLOUDS AND DECREASING THE
INTENSITY OF THE SHSN. ORGANIZATION IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE IS
BECOMING POOR AT THIS HOUR AND THE GENERAL WEAKENING/DISSIPATING
TREND IS ANTICIPATED TO CONTINUE. HELD LIKELY POPS FOR THE NEXT
FEW HOURS BEFORE SUNRISE IN THE WEST AND SC MTS. RADAR RETURNS
SLIDING IN FROM THE COAST ARE PRODUCING VERY LIGHT SNOW IN FAR ERN
PA. HOWEVER...THEY HAVE JUST ABOUT REACHED THE ERN EXTENT OF THEIR
INFLUENCE. WILL HOLD HIGH CHC POPS IN THE FAR ERN CWA...BUT EXPECT
LITTLE OR NO ACCUMS THERE. WINDS WILL PICK UP AS THE STORM DEEPENS
AND PULLS AWAY.

CENTRAL PA AS INVERTED TROUGH OVERHEAD SLIDES SLOWLY TO THE EAST.
INTERESTING FEATURE FOR NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WILL BE A DEVELOPING
SNOW BAND STRETCHING N-S LOCATED FROM RENOVO TO JUST EAST OF STATE
COLLEGE THROUGH ADAMS COUNTY. RADAR AROUND 06Z SHOWED A
CONVERGENCE OF BOUNDARIES WHICH IS LEADING TO THE ENHANCED
INTENSITY OF THIS BAND /THAT THE VERY SHORT TERM MESOSCALE MODELS
ARE NOT PICKING UP ON/. AS FAR AS TERMINALS...LOOKS LIKE ONLY KUNV
WILL BE IMPACTED WITH IFR VSBYS...BUT SIMILAR IMPACTS CAN BE
EXPECTED ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE LINE AS IT PEAKS AND THEN
DIMINISHES OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

OTHERWISE...MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST IN THE WESTERN HIGHER

BRINGING IMPROVING CONDITIONS TO VFR BY MID MORNING. GENERALLY
LIGHT WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL INCREASE TO 10-15 MPH DURING THE DAY
