SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VERY MOIST PRE-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT ACROSS
THE CONCERNED AREA WITH PWS RANGING FROM 1.1 IN N PA TO 1.4 NEAR KPHI
PER GOES SOUNDER/GPS NETWORK AND RUC2 ANALYSIS FIELDS.  WV LOOP SHOWS A
SHORTWAVE THAT HAS BULGED OUT ACROSS WV/S VA/N NC  LEADING TO GOOD HEIGHT
FALLS AND GOOD UVV FROM VORTICITY ADVECTION AS WELL AS VERY STRONG 70-80KT
LLJ AND GOOD INFERRED DIVERGENCE ALOFT WHERE THE WARM CONVEYOR BREAKS OFF
TOWARD THE EAST AND LOW LEVEL ASCENT CONTINUES IN THE COOL CONVEYOR BELT
BACK TOWARD THE OCCLUSION. A POCKET OF ENHANCED CLOUDS FROM THIS ASCENT
CAN BE SEEN OVER N CENTRAL PA ATTM WITH MODERATELY COOL TOPS INDICATIVE
OF MDT RAINS AROUND .5-1"/HR RATES...BUT WITH THE ORIENTATION OF THE
LL FLOW OVER PERPENDICULAR OROGRAPHICS... SOUTHERN AND SE PORTIONS
OF THE RIDGES SHOULD RECEIVE MUCH HIGHER RATES AND TOTALS OVER 3-4".
THE BACK EDGE OF DRYING IS SLOWLY PROGRESSING ACROSS SW PA ATTM... AND
WILL SHUNT THE HVY RAIN FOCUS ACROSS THE POCONOS AND INTO S AND SE NY/N
NJ OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS INCREASING THE FLOODING THREATS THERE.
