What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Jan 11, 12:51 AM EST, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 11, 12:51 AM EST, 2 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 1251 AM EST Sat Jan 11 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Rain will scatter this evening but return in force later Saturday as low pressure advances on the region bringing gusty wind as well. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... Changes for the eve update included the addition of scattered to isolated showers for areas that previously were forecast to go precip-free. These are in response to continued shortwave-impulse activity in southwest flow aloft. The main precip area will remain west, and north of the immediate where the frontal zone is focusing the copious moisture return. Previous... Anomalously deep warm, moist air continues to advect into the region in strong southwest flow ahead of the main trough. Rain will remain steady over the next several hours on the NW fringe of the PBZ forecast area as this plume of deep moisture continues to interact with the aforementioned frontal zone, with more discontinuous showers in the warm sector of the system from Pittsburgh southward. Rainfall rates are low enough such that widespread flooding should not be an issue. Ridging across the eastern CONUS will amplify tonight in response to the aforementioned trough as it digs into the Mississippi Valley. As this happens, large scale ascent will become displaced to our north and west, which should give much of the forecast area a lull in the widespread precipitation overnight and into tomorrow morning. Temperature will then remain near steady overnight such that overnight lows 25 to 30 degrees above the climatological mean. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... By Saturday morning the aforementioned trough will be digging across the mid-Mississippi Valley. Deep southwest flow will continue to bring warm, moist air into the region. Temperatures will approach record values Saturday as values rise well into the 60s and lower 70s. As the low advances northeast, precipitation will gradually move across the CWA from west to east. Convection-allowing models suggest a line of moderate to heavy rain along the cold front boundary as it crosses Saturday evening. Given some instability, thunderstorms embedded in the line of showers may be possible, however, even in the absence of any thunder or lightning strong winds are expected with FROPA as stronger winds aloft mix down to the surface. Post-frontal winds will remain strong late Saturday night into Sunday morning. Gusts 30 to 35kts should be prevalent with possible advisory level winds along the southeast ridges. Shortwave ridging will move across the area by Sunday morning as the low departs, bringing an end to the rain by dawn Sunday. 50 knot wind at 850mb within a well-mixed boundary layer will allow for strong gusts through the first half of Sunday. Pressure gradient will decrease by the latter half of the day, such that wind speeds will decrease substantially. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... A shortwave trough embedded within southwest flow will clip the area on Monday and bring somewhat cooler air to the region, but displacement from strongest lift and lack of moisture will inhibit precipitation. Southwest flow and warm advection will then resume Tuesday. Another trough crossing the region and large-scale ascent will aid in some light precipitation through the second after of the day. Temperatures Sunday through Wednesday will be well-above January average, with highs in the upper 40s and 50s and lows in the 30s and 40s. The next chance for widespread rain will late Wednesday into early Thursday as a low pressure system ejects northeast from the high plains. Light snow will then be possible on the back end of the system as cold advection and northwest flow ensues on the back-end of the low. && .AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Mainly VFR with isolated showers west of PIT is expected to continue overnight along the periphery of large scale ridging. Low level wind shear will remain a concern throughout the period, as 40-50 knots of flow will continue to sit atop a relatively stable boundary layer. Steeper low level lapse rates will generate surface wind gusts of 20-35 knots by Saturday afternoon. A line of moderate to heavy rain with possible thunder and strong winds will impact the area Saturday evening with cold frontal passage. A brief period of MVFR/IFR restrictions is expected along the front, with lifting to VFR just after the TAF period. .Outlook... Surface wind gusts of 30-40 knots may accompany and follow FROPA. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...None. OH...None. PA...None. WV...None. &&
