Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 
813 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/... 
forecast update to adjust precipitation. Forecast soundings 
indicate that we can expect light rain/patchy drizzle and patchy 
fog overnight. Overnight temperatures will change little. 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 /00z Friday through Tuesday/... 
mainly MVFR conds overnight with scattered IFR conds in St and patchy 
-ra/l- and br/fg. Expect breaks in the clouds on Friday in advance of 
the approaching cold front. 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.
