The radar
The Cleveland radar (KCLE), 120 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:40 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.
Open the radar archive at this moment
The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Pittsburgh, PA (KPIT), launched 12:00Z, 11.6 hours before the alert went out and 134 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pittsburgh, PA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 30, 6:47 PM EDT, 50 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 6:47 PM EDT, 50 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA 647 PM EDT FRI MAR 30 2012 .SYNOPSIS... AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY REGION THIS EVENING. DRY AND SEASONABLY COOL WEATHER CAN THEN BE EXPECTED WITH HIGH PRESSURE ON SATURDAY. ANOTHER WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS ON SUNDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDS FROM MANFIELD OHIO TO NEAR DAYTON. THIS LINE IS RUSHING EAST AT ABOUT 50MPH AND WILL REACH WESTERN PA BY 10PM. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM WILL PUSH ACROSS EASTERN OHIO BETWEEN 730 AND 930PM. THE STORMS ARE PUSHING INTO DRIER AIR AND MAY WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE EAST. POPS WILL TO INCREASE TO LIKELY/CATEGORICAL FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHWEST EARLY TONIGHT...THEN TAPER TO SCATTERED COVERAGE AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE SURFACE LOW AND COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT. A WEAK SURFACE RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION SATURDAY WITH DRY WEATHER FORECAST. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES SHOULD HOLD MAINLY IN THE 50S IN NORTHWEST FLOW. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... AMPLIFYING RIDGE ALONG THE MS VALLEY WILL DEVELOP NW FLOW OVER THE UPPER OH VALLEY REGION DURING THE SHORT TERM. LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW A SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. GFS INDICATES A STRONGER ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW THAN THE ECMWF...BUT BOTH SHOW AN AREA OF ENHANCED MOISTURE AND LIGHT QPF CROSSING THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. PLAN TO MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS DURING THAT TIME. A STRONG SURFACE RIDGE WITH DRIER AIR IS PROGGED TO POKE INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH ON MONDAY. DRY CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... GOOD AGREEMENT EXISTS WITH REGARD TO THE OVERALL LONG WAVE PROGRESSION ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST...HOWEVER LARGE DIFFERENCES STILL EXIST IN THE SPECIFIC SHORT WAVE DETAILS FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT ONWARD THAT COULD HAVE DRASTIC EFFECTS UPON THE EVENTUAL TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION TYPES EXPERIENCED ACROSS THE AREA. IN GENERAL...THE GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLES HAVE FAVORED A MORE PROGRESSIVE NORTHERN STREAM...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS FAVORED A MORE AMPLIFIED NORTHERN STREAM. BOTH MODELS DEPICT A RELATIVELY DEEP CLOSED LOW IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM...HOWEVER THE GFS SUGGESTS MORE PHASING BY THE END OF THE PERIOD THAN DOES THE ECMWF. GIVEN THE MODELS PROPENSITY TO HANDLE PHASING INCORRECTLY AND BETTER OVERALL RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY... THE FORECAST LEANS TOWARD THE ECMWF IN THE EXTENDED. BY MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS APPROACHES THE AREA...YIELDING GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS WITH LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE IN CONTROL OF THE AREA. THE FIRST SYSTEM TO APPROACH THE AREA COMES INTO TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE GFS AND ECMWF BOTH ARRIVE AT SIGNIFICANT QPF VIA DIFFERING MECHANISMS (NORTHERN VS. SOUTHERN STREAM) ALL THE WHILE STAYING LARGELY IN PHASE. INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY BE GOVERNED BY WHICH STREAM BECOMES THE DOMINANT ONE OVER THE AREA...SO A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS ADDED TO THE FORECAST ALONG WITH RAISING POPS INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY FOR A BIT. THE BIG DIFFERENCES BEGIN TO APPEAR IN THE FORECAST WITH THE EASTWARD TRANSLATION OF THIS WAVE. AS IT EMERGES OFF THE EAST COAST...THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO REALLY EMPHASIZE THE NORTHERN STREAM...CLOSING OFF A DEEP UPPER LOW OFF THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND. THIS DRIVES DEEP LAYER NORTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER THE AREA...BRINGING 850 MB TEMPERATURES INTO THE -4 TO -8C RANGE FOR 2 TO 3 DAYS STARTING ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE GFS HAS YO-YOED BETWEEN AMPLIFYING AND DEEMPHASIZING THIS SYSTEM IN THE PAST SEVERAL CYCLES WITH THE 12Z BEING FLATTER AND THE 06Z BEING HIGH AMPLIFIED. AS SUCH...THE THERMAL PROFILES FAVORED WERE THOSE OF THE MORE AMPLIFIED SCENARIO...AND THUS IN UNSTABLE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW...A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WAS ADDED TO THE FORECAST FOR MANY AREAS FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT ONWARD. IN ADDITION... TEMPERATURES WERE ADJUSTED SIGNIFICANT DOWNWARD...AT LEAST 10 DEGREES BELOW THE GFS-BASED 12Z MEX GUIDANCE. FRIES && .AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... VFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AT ALL SITES AS CONVECTION SLOWLY APPROACHES THE AREA. THROUGH THE EVENING...INSTABILITY INCREASES MARKEDLY...WITH A COLD FRONT SET TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ROUGHLY BETWEEN 22Z AND 31/03Z. ALONG THE FRONT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIKELY...WITH A PERIOD OF LLWS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT EVEN OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION. WINDS WILL SHIFT QUICKLY TO THE NORTHWEST WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...HOWEVER CIGS ARE LIKELY TO PLUMMET AS LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE LINGER. OUTLOOK...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...RESTRICTIONS WITH LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY MORNING. EXPECT MAINLY VFR SUNDAY AND MONDAY BEFORE ANOTHER SYSTEM ADVANCES FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...NONE. OH...NONE. PA...NONE. WV...NONE. &&
