During the morning of January 30th, a convective line of showers formed along a pre-frontal surface trough and intensified as it moved east at 50 MPH. While only isolated thunderstorms occurred, the line produced convective wind damage across portions of western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.

The episode as NWS PBZ wrote it up.
During the morning of January 30th, a convective line of showers formed along a pre-frontal surface trough and intensified as it moved east at 50 MPH. While only isolated thunderstorms occurred, the line produced convective wind damage across portions of western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. The highest measured wind gusts were 67 MPH at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe, and 62 MPH at the Wheeling, WV airport. Heavy rainfall with this system caused some flooding of roadways over eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia the evening of the 30th into the morning of the 31st.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jan 30, 6:49 AM EST, 2 hours 56 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA
649 AM EST WED JAN 30 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
WELL ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES...GUSTY WINDS AND RAIN SHOWERS
TODAY AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT WHICH WILL PASS THROUGH LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MUCH COLDER AIR AND SNOW SHOWERS FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY TODAY FOR THE HIGHEST RIDGES IN
GARRETT...PRESTON AND TUCKER COUNTIES. LATEST RUC FORECAST
SOUNDINGS ON BUFKIT ARE SHOWING 60-65KTS TODAY JUST ABOVE 2500FT
IN THESE COUNTIES.
PER HPC DESIGNATION OF MOD RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AND
COUNTIES WITH THE LOWEST FFG...WILL ISSUE FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS
OF THE SOUTH AND EAST TODAY AND TONIGHT.
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO W OHIO AFTER DAWN. SHOWERS AND
SOME STORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT AS IT CONTINUES ITS SLOW
EASTWARD PROGRESSION. EXPECT A GOOD SOAKING TODAY WITH ONE- HALF
TO ONE INCH OF RAIN FOR MUCH OF THE REGION. IN THE FLOOD WATCH
COUNTIES...1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE WITH THE BULK OF IT
COMING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE WATCH MAY NEED TO BE
EXPANDED PARTICULARLY IF A LINE OF STRONG SLOW MOVING CONVECTION
DEVELOPS.
THE OTHER PROBLEM WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS
ACROSS THE REST OF MY COUNTIES. LATEST CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FOR
TODAY PUT MUCH OF THE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK. THINK THE BEST WAY TO
HANDLE THIS IS TO INCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS TODAY
WITH DAMAGING WINDS.
TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL TODAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL RAPIDLY MOVE IN TONIGHT. LEFT OVER RAIN
SHOWERS WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES.
THINK THE BEST LOCATION FOR ANY ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ACROSS THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE SFC TEMPS WILL
RESPOND QUICK ENOUGH ELSEWHERE TO ALLOW FOR ACCUMULATION.
CONCERNED ABOUT DAMAGING WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT AS WELL. VERY
STRONG CAA...COMBINED WITH PRES RISES OF 6 TO 8 MBS IS PRESENTING
A PERIOD OVERNIGHT THAT MAY REQUIRE A WIND ADVISORY. WILL ALLOW
THE NEXT SHIFT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS.
RISK FOR SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY OVER THE FAR NORTH AND
RIDGES...WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
STEADY OR SLOWLY FALLING WITH GUSTY WINDS CONTINUING.
AT THIS POINT...HAVE VERY LOW CONFIDENCE ON EFFECTS FROM SHORTWAVE
WHICH WILL DIVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION THU NIGHT. LATEST
MODEL RUNS ARE HINTING AT SOME ACCUMULATING SNOWS...PARTICULARLY
OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF. THU NIGHT/FRI MORN FORECAST WILL NEED FINE
TUNING AS MODELS GET BETTER HANDLE ON LOCATION OF WAVE.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UNCERTAINTY LIES IN THE FORECAST AS MODELS SEEM TO BE IN
DISAGREEMENT. GFS/ECMWF DO SHOW A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING OVER THE
AREA ON THE WEEKEND AND THUS BRINGING A CLIPPER SOUTHEAST WITH THE
GFS BRINGING HIGHER AMOUNTS OF SNOW THAN THE ECMWF. POSSIBLE LAKE
ENHANCED AND/OR TERRAIN ENHANCED SNOW COULD DEVELOP AFTER THE
PASSAGE OF THE QUICK MOVING SYSTEM.
THE GFS BRINGS IN ANOTHER STRONGER CLIPPER OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WHILE THE ECMWF
TRACKS THE SYSTEM MORE NORTHEAST AND BRINGS PRECIPITATION TO OUR AREA
ALONG A COLD FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BEHIND THE SYSTEM LEAVING
THE MID WEEK DRY. HPC TRENDED TOWARDS THE ECMWF RUN THE LATTER PART
OF THE EXTENDED AND THUS FORECAST IS BASED ON GFS/HPC GUIDANCE KEEPING
SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS.
