This pattern also favors a few build-ups of clouds in the afternoon and evening with spotty thundershowers. However, much of the time will be rain-free due to the dry air.

More humid air will filter in tomorrow ahead of a weak cool front. Some sunshine is in store for much of the day, but there may be a late-day or nighttime thunderstorm. As that front stalls nearby, a storm is expected to ride northward Sunday into Monday with rain and thunder. There could be enough rain to cause flooding problems.

Dr. Kriebel was driving south when his car went off Route f6 Howard B. Kriebel 537 and struck a tree, police said. He died at the scene.

Dorothea Reeder Kriebel, his wife and passenger, sustained a broken arm and leg. Dr. Kriebel became fascinated with trees when, as a conscientious objector during World War II, he was assigned to help replant more than 300,000 acres of Oregon forest destroyed by the historic Tillamook Burn, a series of infernos starting in 1933. When he completed his duty, Dr. Kriebel earned a master's degree and a doctorate in forestry from Yale University.

In 1952, he joined Ohio State University's Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster. Dr. Kriebel analyzed sugar maples and through cross-pollination identified varieties that produce sweeter sap, work that influenced syrup manufacturing. His studies of white pines helped improve the production of wood pulp used in paper. He retired in 1997 and moved to Medford, returning to the area after many years.

He was born in Lansdowne and graduated from Lansdowne Friends School, Westtown Friends School and Haverford College. He wrote more than 100 papers on forestry genetics, served on the executive board of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations, and in 1998 received the group's highest award. He was a Ful-bright senior lecturer in Croatia and studied in Sweden, India and Japan. In addition to his wife, Dr. Kriebel is survived by son Chris.

Daughter Ann died in 1983, and daughter Sharon died in 1961. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. July 31 at Ranco-cas Friends Meeting, Bridge and Main Streets, Rancocas. Burial is private. Memorial donations may be made to the American Friends Service Committee, 1501 Cherry Philadelphia 19102.

Carey Lackman Specter's chief of staff, 48 Carey Lackman, 48, the top staffer to Sen. Arlen Specter, died of cancer Wednesday at her home in Washington. Ms. Lackman worked on and off for Specter since 1991. During a six-year stint in California, where she moved in 1985 to work as a campaign fund-raiser, she helped found the state's Big Brothers and Big Sisters charitable organization, aides said.

She opened her own Washington consulting firm in 1999 and helped organize the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Specter brought Ms. Lackman back to his office in 2001 as his chief of staff. "Everyone she touched admired and respected her," Specter said in a statement. The daughter of an Army colonel, she was born in Washington and grew up on various military bases with her three brothers and three sisters.

She graduated from Radford University in Virginia in 1977. She is survived by her husband, Clyde H. Slease 3d, her mother, and six siblings. The funeral will be today at St. Stevens Catholic Church in Middleburg, Va.

Carlo Di Palma Top cinematographer, 79 Italian cinematographer Carlo Di Palma, 79, who made innovative use of color and darkness in films by Woody Allen, Michelangelo Antonioni, and numerous Italian comedy directors, died last Friday in Rome. His family said he had suffered a long illness but did not specify the cause of death. Mr. Di Palma began working in film during the 1940s, but it was his innovative work for An-tonioni's Red Desert in 1964 that won him international acclaim. His collaboration with Allen started in 1986, with Hannah and Her Sisters, and continued for 10 more films over 10 years.

With an intensity rare for the area, the F-3 twister peeled a woman's house from around her. ASSOCIATED PRESS CAMPBELLTOWN, Pa. Shell-shocked residents spent yesterday picking through debris left by the tornado that tore through the area the day before, devastating a housing development, flattening cornfields, and blowing over barns. One woman remained hospitalized with a collapsed lung, lacerated liver, and hairline skull fracture she suffered when her home blew away around her. The Country Squire Estates development and Campbelltown bore the brunt of the storm, which included an F-3 tornado that was on the ground for 10 or 15 minutes, packing winds up to 200 m.p.h.

It ripped a 712-mile path through the area. It was the first tornado of that magnitude to hit that region since 1970, said Bruce Budd, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service office in State College. Smaller twisters are common in the Philadelphia region and elsewhere in Pennsylvania, but "the F-3 comes along once in a great while," said Budd. The governor's office said 32 homes were destroyed and 87 oth ers damaged, some heavily, in this agricultural community about 16 miles east of Harrisburg. Twenty-four people were injured, but only Jody Lenington, a 36-year-old substitute teacher, was still in the hospital yesterday.

Her mother, Lois Novosel, said Lenington had been heading for the basement stairway with her 55-pound cockapoo, Henly, when the tornado engulfed the Squire Lane home. She barely had time to duck into a first-floor bathroom, holding onto Henly with one hand and the toilet with the other. "She said, 'Mom, you just don't know how it came. It Novosel said. Tornadoes are ranked on the Fujita scale, named for its developer, the late researcher T.

Theodore Fujita. Since wind-measuring instruments can't survive a tornado's unimaginably strong rotating winds, Fujita came up with a system for inferring wind speeds from damages to trees and buildings. The most severe tornado on the scale is F-5. Two F-3s were reported elsewhere in Pennsylvania in 1998. The last one in the Philadelphia region occurred on July 27, 1994, when an F-3 ripped through a housing development in Limerick, Montgomery County, killing three people.
