$$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 Jun 13, 11:02 AM EDT, 1 hour 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 11:02 AM EDT, 1 hour 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 1102 AM EDT Sun Jun 13 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Shower and thunderstorm chances are expected today with a crossing cold front. Periodic shower and thunderstorm chances should continue Monday and Tuesday before high pressure return dry and cooler weather by mid week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As evidence by the 12z PIT observation sounding, sufficient shear (near 40kt 0-6km) and instability (2000-2500j/kg fcst surface CAPE) will aid in the development of severe storms coincident with ample sfc convergence via frontogenesis. Considering the hodograph, multi- cellular organized thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts proceeding outflow boundaries look probable. Initially, cells will carry a large hail threat before transitioning to a cold pool dominant complex, capable of 60-70 mph wind gusts. The highest chance of seeing this potential will be this afternoon during peak heating, as the front is expected to be located from NW PA to SE OH. SPC has this area, and points E-SE, in the Slight Risk/scattered coverage area for potential severe thunderstorms. FROPA should occur earlier for the W-NW, where a lesser Marginal/isolated potential for severe storms exists. Locally heavy rain is possible in poorly drained areas, though quick storm movement should be sufficient to preclude a significant flood potential. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... An approaching Great Lakes shortwave trough is expected to approach the region Monday, along with a secondary cold front. Scattered/numerous showers and thunderstorms are again expected to develop with the increasing shortwave support, and jet driven ascent. Strong unidirectional shear and dry mid level air should result in the possibility for severe thunderstorms, though the amount of instability is less notable than Sunday. SPC has most of the forecast area in a Marginal Risk for severe storms on Monday. Another reinforcing trough should maintain scattered showers/storms for Tuesday, though instability and shear levels look to be too low for any organized severe thunderstorm potential. Dry weather should return Tuesday night as sfc high pressure builds upstream of a developing Ern CONUS long wave trough. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Model blends indicate that high pressure should result in dry and cooler than average weather Wed and Thu. Another trough approaching from the Upper Midwest may result in precipitation chance for next weekend. && .AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Morning thunderstorms with an initial passing shortwave will generally remain north of I-76 and south of I-80 this morning. These will miss the TAF sites for the most part, although thunder may be heard at a terminal or two. Outside of these storms, VFR will continue, and any patchy MVFR fog will burn off fairly quickly. By midday, cumulus are expected to develop. As a cold front approaches the region, thunderstorms are expected to develop along and ahead of it. The front should be located from NW PA to SE OH by afternoon peak heating, when the greatest chances of seeing thunderstorms is expected. For these terminals, included an MVFR TEMPO group for thunder, with VCTS elsewhere where lesser chances exits. The showers and thunderstorms should end this evening as the front completes its passage, with VFR returning. .Outlook... Periodic rain chances from passing shortwaves within a developing eastern U.S. trough may also create intermittent restrictions through Tuesday. VFR under high pressure is expected by mid-week. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. OH...None. WV...None. &&
