24What 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 Jun 16, 1:48 PM EDT, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 1:48 PM EDT, 1 hour 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 148 PM EDT THU JUN 16 2016 .SYNOPSIS... Crossing low pressure will bring showers and thunderstorms to the Upper Ohio Valley Region today. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... Aside from storm current near Morgantown, most of the morning activity has moved east. We received numerous hail reports in eastern Ohio and the northern West Virginia panhandle, and wind damage reports along and north of I-80. Passage of the line has left some relatively more stable air in its wake, which complicates the forecast for afternoon/evening convection. Storms are already starting to fire just west of Cleveland. Still expect some recovery in the airmass sufficient to support another round of storms after 19Z or so ahead of approaching low pressure, with the full spectrum of threats still possible. Flooding will also be a threat especially in recently rained-on areas, and this particular threat will continue well into the night with ideal warm-rain process conditions. Activity will begin to die down after 06Z or so with loss of instability and the passage of the low. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/... Building high pressure will improve conditions rapidly behind the exiting low. Expect Friday and Saturday temperatures near the average with more comfortable humidity levels as per lower dewpoints. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... That high is progged to maintain dry and seasonal weather into early next week. Northeast flow in the boundary layer may initially limit temperatures to near, or a few degrees above the averages, but rising heights aloft are signaling a rapid moderation with temperatures for the period expected about 5 to 10 degrees above the near 80 average. As mid week approaches, the models indicate frontal encroachment, with passage currently slated for Tuesday. Rain chances have been increased, and the temperature prognosis eased for that eventually. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Rounds of thunderstorms are expected over the next 9-12 hours as low pressure approaches and crosses in an unstable atmosphere. Tried to give 2 hour TEMPO windows in TAFs to time best threat, but expect IFR or even LIFR impacts from storms are possible at any time into this evening. Strong wind gusts are likely and will attempt to amend with details as the threat develops. Activity will begin to die down after 06Z, although low clouds and fog of at least MVFR intensity are expected overnight until past sunrise on Friday. VFR conditions are expected to be reestablished by midday. .OUTLOOK /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... VFR conditions are expected through the weekend. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. OH...None. PA...None. WV...None. &&
