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 Mar 16, 11:03 AM EDT, 1 hour 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 16, 11:03 AM EDT, 1 hour 14 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
1103 AM EDT Sun Mar 16 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms are expected today as a strong cold
front crosses the region. Some storms could be severe. A few
snow showers are possible early Monday before high pressure
returns dry and warmer weather to the region through mid week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Strong cold front crosses today
- Showers and thunderstorms expected
- Severe storms possible, with damaging wind and isolated
  tornadoes
- Gusty wind outside of thunderstorms
-------------------------------------------------------------------

A cold front currently crossing through central Ohio will cross
the region, with convection developing ahead of the front late
this morning and into the afternoon. Strong speed and
directional shear with a low level jet max of 50-70kt at 850mb
is progged, as well as CAPE values between 500 and 750j/kg.
Latest CAMs hint towards storms in a line or broken line, and
given the current synoptic situation and several hours of
plentiful solar insolation to bolster sfc instability, the
threat of damaging wind and possible QLCS tornadoes has
increased. After coordination with SPC, a Tornado Watch has
been issued, and is valid until 4PM this afternoon.

Wind gusts to 40mph are also possible outside of any storms
with mixing and a tight surface pressure gradient during the
day.

The low's surface cold front is progged to cross the region by
mid to late afternoon. Additional showers and storms are likely
with the front, though instability and shear is progged to be
less than with the earlier activity.
&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Rain changes to snow before ending Monday
- Dry and warmer Tuesday
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Rain is expected to change to snow overnight into early Monday
in cold advection after FROPA, and as the upper trough axis
crosses the region. No accumulation is expected for most of the
area, though an inch or less is possible across the higher
terrain areas. Wind should also diminish tonight as the surface
pressure gradient begins to lessen.

Dry weather and a clearing trend is then expected Monday
afternoon through Tuesday night as high pressure builds across
the region. After a brief cool down on Monday, temperatures
should return to 10 to 15 degrees above average by Tuesday.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
KEY MESSAGES:

- Dry Wednesday
- Rain chances return Wednesday night through Thursday night
- Warm Thursday, then cooler through the weekend
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Model ensembles indicate an amplified pattern to start mid week.
Ridging, ahead of a central CONUS trough, will maintain dry
weather on Wednesday. This trough, and its associated surface
low, will advance eastward Wednesday night through Thursday,
crossing the region region Thursday night. Increasing rain
chances are expected with its approach and passage. The rain
could mix with or change to snow late Thursday and Thursday
night in cold advection behind the low.

The flow is progged to become less amplified by late week.
Weaker, fast moving disturbances are expected to be embedded in
this flow. Dry weather is expected to return Friday under high
pressure, though another fast moving trough/surface low is
progged for Saturday, returning showers to the region.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A deep upper level low will create scattered lighter rain
showers in between two surface boundaries that will be the main
focus of impact through the afternoon. The first, currently in
eastern OH as of 12z, may develop a line of notably gusty winds
between 30-40kts but may intensify through 15z as it lifts NE
and increase lightning production. A second boundary will
develop shortly after that along a S to SW wind shift between
16z-21z, and again will pose the risk for lightning, wind gust
between 35-45kt (and locally higher), and small hail. Confidence
is fairly low on the exact timing for potential terminal impacts
given varied model guidance projections and current struggles in
capturing near-term environment.

The expectation is for a cold front to cross between 22z-04z
tonight that will see wind subside (but remain breezy) and bring
areawide MVFR with localized IFR cigs. Remnant influence of the
upper low and the onset of cold advection may regenerate iso/sct
showers that transition to snow and favor northwest PA. At this
time, accumulations are expected to be minimal given meager
moisture/temperature profiles.

Outlook...
Precipitation will taper off Monday morning while subsidence and
dry advection slowly erode area MVFR stratocu; there is high
confidence in VFR returning to sites by 18z (only 10-25%
probability of MVFR cigs lingering).

There is high confidence in VFR under the influence of high
pressure until the next low pressure system crosses the region
late Wednesday into Thursday.
