The radar
The Pittsburgh radar (KPBZ), 99 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 13:35 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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 (KAGC), launched 12:00Z, 1.6 hours before the alert went out and 94 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.

BOOKBINDERWhat 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 23, 4:21 AM EDT, 5 hours 15 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 4:21 AM EDT, 5 hours 15 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
421 AM EDT THU JUN 23 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms will cross the region through the
morning hours. Much warmer air will settle in for the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Showers and storm chances will need to be maintained over at least
the southern half of the area this morning, as the large
convective complex exits to the south. It is possible that
activity could redevelop later today as the surface boundary will
be lying across the region, until the next shortwave trough shoves
the front southward later this afternoon. With the clouds and
precipitation, temperatures will end up a bit below normal.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Quiet weather will return for Friday as high pressure builds down
from the north. Seasonable temperatures and falling dewpoints
will create comfortable conditions.
Surface high pressure holds on through Saturday, while a 500 mb
ridge will build over the Ohio Valley. Dry conditions will be
maintained. Temperatures and dewpoints will be on the rise
Saturday, with above normal readings expected.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Dry, hot and humid Sunday, with temperatures approaching 90
degrees. Rain chances return to the forecast Sunday night as
moisture pools ahead of the next front. Some questions on the
timing and speed of the passage of the front remain, and thus
precipitation chances were maintained to some degree through the
remainder of the extended forecast. Above normal temperatures at
the start of the period will become more seasonable by Wednesday.
Superblend guidance was used as a basis for the grids.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Condition deterioration, including IFR in heavy rain for ports
from PIT southward, can be expected this morning as low pressure
and an associated thunderstorm complex cross the region.
Building high pressure will ensure improvement back to VFR by this
afternoon.
.OUTLOOK /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The next chance for general restrictions is expected with a Monday
cold front.
&&
