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 Nov 17, 10:01 PM EST, 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 17, 10:01 PM EST, 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA
1001 PM EST SUN NOV 17 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AND WILL PROVIDE
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS. COOLER AIR WILL ARRIVE ON TUESDAY
AND WILL LAST THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LINE OF SHOWERS ALONG THE COLD FRONT HAS NOW ADVANCED INTO
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AS OF ABOUT 930 PM...AND EVEN PASSED
PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL AS OF 10 PM. BEHIND THE FRONT...STRONG
ISALLOBARIC COMPONENTS DUE TO RAPID PRESSURE RISES AND CONTINUING
A STRONG GRADIENT FLOW WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATING LARGELY
INCREASING LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY DUE TO MORE RAPID COLD ADVECTION
ABOVE THE FRICTIONAL SURFACE LAYER. THE SOUNDINGS LARGELY SUPPORT
GUSTS OF 35-45 KTS FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT ACROSS ALMOST THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. THE LONG EXCEPTION TO THIS MAY WELL BE THE
NORTHERN FRINGES OF THE FORECAST AREA.

ACROSS THE NORTHERN REACHES OF THE AREA...GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT
EXISTS IN TRACKING A DEEP TROPOPAUSE FOLD CURRENTLY EXTENDING
ACROSS WESTERN OHIO INTO SOUTHEASTERN LOWER MICHIGAN ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY INTO NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA OVERNIGHT. WIND GUSTS
IN THE TROPOPAUSE FOLD ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING ROUGHLY 49-60 KTS AND
GIVEN THE SYNOPTIC SIGNATURES AND DEGREE OF HIGH PV AIR COMING ALL
THE WAY DOWN TOWARD 5 KFT OVERNIGHT OVER THE NORTHERN ZONES...A
VERY LOW TROPOPAUSE WILL LIKELY ALLOW FOR SIGNIFICANT MOMENTUM TO
BE FUNNELED TOWARD THE SURFACE. AS A RESULT...THE WIND ADVISORY IN
THESE AREAS WAS UPGRADED TO A HIGH WIND WARNING OVERNIGHT.
ELSEWHERE...WITHOUT A VERY DEEP TROPOPAUSE FOLD...SIMPLE MIXING
WILL RESULT IN WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA GUSTS THROUGH THE
NIGHT...EXCEPT IN THE RIDGES WHERE THE ELEVATION WILL LIKELY ALLOW
FOR MIXING TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY. AS A
RESULT...THE WIND ADVISORY HERE WAS EXTENDED THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING. FRIES

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
FLOW WILL TURN JUST ENOUGH FOR SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE
I-80 CORRIDOR AND THE RIDGES MONDAY NIGHT BUT ONLY LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED. SURFACE RIDGE WILL THEN CLEAR OUT SKIES
WITH CHILLY TEMPERATURES THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
DRY AND SEASONABLE THURSDAY THEN A COMPLICATED PATTERN FOR THE
LATER PERIODS WITH MODELS HAVING TIMING ISSUES WITH ENERGY IN THE
NORTHERN STREAM AND A CLOSED LOW DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
SOUTHWESTERN STATES. USED HPC GRIDS FOR THE MOST PARTS TO KEEP IN
COORDINATION. MUCH COLDER AIR FOR LATE WEEK INTO WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONDITIONS AT MOST TERMINALS ARE RISING TO VFR...ALTHOUGH
RESTRICTIONS ARE HANGING ON AT FKL/DUJ. SHOULD BE A FEW HOUR BREAK
BEFORE CONDITIONS DROP AGAIN WITH AN ORGANIZED SQUALL LINE ALONG
THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS TONIGHT. HAVE ADJUSTED TIMING
SLIGHTLY IN THE TAFS AS THE LINE APPROACHES KZZV BY 02Z AND EXITS
KLBE BY 06Z. WITH SUPPORT FROM A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...WIND GUSTS
WITH THIS LINE OF SHOWERS COULD REACH 50-60KTS. ALL LIGHTNING
STRIKES HAVE DIMINISHED IN THE LAST ONE TO TWO HOURS...SO TS WILL
NOT BE INCLUDED IN TAFS EVEN WITH THE VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS IN
SHOWERS. EXPECT MVFR AND IFR CIGS AND VSBYS ALONG THE LINE BUT A
QUICK IMPROVEMENT ALMOST EVERYWHERE BEHIND IT AS STRONG MIXING
BRINGS DRY AIR TO THE SURFACE.

S-SW WINDS WILL SHIFT WEST WITH THE FRONT AND REMAIN
ELEVATED...WITH GUSTS 35-40KTS CONTINUING UNTIL NEAR SUNRISE
MONDAY.

.OUTLOOK.../MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SOME RESTRICTIONS COULD BE POSSIBLE IN NORTHWEST FLOW MONDAY
NIGHT...MAINLY NORTH OF KPIT. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVERHEAD UNTIL THE NEXT SYSTEM
APPROACHES FRIDAY.
