    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 206...

    Valid 020206Z - 020400Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 206
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A severe wind threat may persist for the next 1-2 hours
    across central Pennsylvania, but a general weakening trend is
    expected through 03 UTC amid the onset of nocturnal cooling.

    DISCUSSION...Recent surface observations and RAP analyses show an
    expansive cold pool in place across central PA in the wake of a
    thunderstorm cluster earlier this evening. However, VWP observations
    from KCCX continue to show strong warm advection within the lowest
    1-2 km AGL, which is not only supporting 0-1 km SRH on the order of
    200-300 m2/s2, but is also maintaining modest warm/moist advection
    into the region from the south/southeast where dewpoints remain in
    the low to mid 60s. Consequently, sufficient buoyancy remains in
    place across the region to support deep convection - as evidenced by
    cooling cloud top temperatures and increasing echo tops over the
    past 30 minutes. Given sufficient (albeit limited) buoyancy and
    strong low-level wind shear, storm organization remains possible
    with an attendant threat for damaging winds in the near term across
    central PA. Beyond 03 UTC, confidence in this threat wanes as
    nocturnal cooling will continue to promote increasing low-level
    inhibition and diminishing buoyancy.
