$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Jul 29, 7:52 AM EDT, 3 hours 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 29, 7:52 AM EDT, 3 hours 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 752 AM EDT Sat Jul 29 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Rain and flood threat will continue to trend downward through midday. Building high pressure will return dry and seasonable weather for the later half of Saturday through the start of the work week. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/... High water will continue to cause problems over a significant part of the forecast area. Rain continues this morning as the upper-level low is very slow to move southeast of the area. Wrap-around flow is continuing to pull moisture westward into the forecast area from eastern PA. The result of this will be very gradual dissipation of rain across our southeastern counties. While rain rates have generally lowered over the last several hours, the antecedent conditions and steady efficient rain have continued to cause high water issues from Allegheny County and southward. The mode by which high water is being reported seems to have changed in the last few hours. We're seeing less flash flood reports and more general high water issues from hours of persistent rainfall. Thus, we have transitioned most flash flood warnings to areal flood warnings and will cancel the duration of the Flash Flood Watch. Despite the cancellation of the Watch, flooding is expected to continue for many locations through today. General downward trend in rain rates and coverage will continue through the day as the slow moving upper low pinwheels to our southeast. Guidance has been consistent showing all rain ending areawide by about late this afternoon/evening. This seems prudent, given the eastward pull of the coastal low, and building heights through our region. This will begin a period of much needed dry weather that will continue through the short term. && .SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY/... Great Lakes surface high will advance eastward over the weekend, resulting in much drier conditions. Clouds will erode quickly overnight, leaving clear and calm conditions. This could lead to the generation of fog, especially in warmer river valleys. Sunday will be warm and dry with high pressure fully dominating. Fair conditions will spill into early next week, although northwest flow aloft may help support additional cloud cover. Temperatures through the latter part of the weekend will be near average. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... High pressure will keep conditions dry through Tuesday with the next chance for precipitation coming with the approach of a front late Wednesday/Thursday. Some timing differences were noted among deterministic guidance, so the Superblend was used heavily for the latter half of next week. Near seasonal temperatures are forecast. && .AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Conditions will slowly rise back to VFR in the early afternoon. By early afternoon all locations should be back to VFR conditions and will continue into the evening hours. .OUTLOOK... No widespread restrictions expected. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. OH...None. PA...None. WV...None. &&
