What happened
The episode as NWS PBZ wrote it up.
A quasi-stationary boundary remained the focus for afternoon showers and thunderstorms again on June 30th. While shear and instability remained meager, with cape values of 1000j/kg or less, some storms were able to support themselves to severe levels. A little more than a dozen wind damage and hail reports combined made up the afternoon. But, once again, training thunderstorms produced flooding problems, this time over Allegheny county in Pennsylvania.
