The episode as NWS CLE wrote it up.
At the surface, an occluded low moved northeastward from southwestern Lower MI to central Lake Huron during the late morning through early evening of the 25th. Simultaneously, the accompanying warm front decelerated as it moved northeastward across northeast OH, into northwest PA, and toward the southwest corner of western New York. The low's trailing cold front swept eastward across northern OH and eventually overtook the warm front in northwest PA.
Clusters of multicell showers and thunderstorms produced damaging wind gusts along and ahead of the surface cold front in northeast OH during the early afternoon. Moderate to strong effective bulk shear, weak MUCAPE, steep low-level lapse rates, and sizable DCAPE in the warm sector allowed precipitation associated with the surface-based and low-topped convection to be very efficient at transporting much stronger flow just aloft down to the surface.

NWS Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 25, 9:39 AM EST, 2 hours 57 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
1039 AM EDT Sat Mar 25 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure over the lower Ohio River Valley this morning will
advance northeast today and and lift a warm front across the
area. The low will pass northwest of the forecast area and north
of Lake Erie by this evening, allowing a cold front to pass
through the area. High pressure will build in behind the system
for Sunday. A weak low will pass south of the area Sunday night
into Monday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Update...
Most of the near-term forecast remains valid, but adjusted POP's
through this early evening given latest observed trends in radar
imagery and other observations, and hi-res model guidance. As of
10 AM EDT, a wavy surface warm front extended E'ward through the
Toledo area to just north of Port Clinton and much of Metro
Cleveland, and then extended SE'ward just north of Akron and
Beaver Falls, PA, respectively. As a deepening surface low moves
NE'ward toward Georgian Bay through this early evening, the warm
front will sweep NE'ward through the rest of our CWA through
early afternoon. The low's trailing surface cold front should
sweep E'ward through our CWA early this afternoon through about
7 PM EDT this evening. Cloud breaks in the warm sector and
accompanying the low pressure system's dry slot will allow the
warm sector boundary layer to destabilize via daytime heating,
which should yield weak surface-based CAPE up to about 500-750
J/kg and MLCAPE up to 500 J/kg this afternoon through early
evening. Steepening low-level lapse rates should contribute to
sizable DCAPE up to about 600 J/kg. Low-level moisture
advection from the Gulf of Mexico and lingering low-level
moisture from recent rainfall should allow mixed layer LCL's to
remain less than 1500 m AGL amidst low-level winds veering
slightly and increasing rapidly with height and surface-based
ESRH approaching 150 meters squared per second squared or so.
Thus, as the cold front advances E'ward and encounters this high
shear/low CAPE environment in the warm sector, expect isolated
to scattered surface-based and low-topped showers and
thunderstorms, including some supercells, to develop along the
front, especially roughly along and east of the I-71 corridor.
Precip associated with these showers and thunderstorms may be
very efficient at transporting stronger winds just aloft down to
the surface and producing damaging convective gusts in the
process. In addition, can't rule-out a couple brief tornadoes
with supercells. SPC has maintained a marginal risk of severe
thunderstorms along and east of I-77, but can't totally rule-
out severe convective weather as far west as roughly I-71 in our
CWA.
Only other update was to expand the High Wind Warning to include
Lucas County. Diurnal convective mixing of the warm sector
boundary layer will likely yield peak surface gusts to 50-60
mph in our CWA, as will relatively-deep mechanical mixing of
the boundary layer and steepening low-level lapse rates amidst
strengthening low-level winds/CAA with height for several hours
behind the surface cold front. The end times of the Wind
Advisory and High Wind Warning still look reasonable at this
point, but may need to be pushed back a bit further into this
evening with the midday update.
Previous Discussion...
Low pressure over southern Illinois this morning has a warm
front extended east along the Ohio River. As this system lifts
northeast, rain will continue to extend across the area ahead of
it, allowing for much of the area to get a half inch to one inch
of rainfall through dawn. While the main slug of rain is moving
through the region this morning, additional rain is forming
right ahead of the low across Illinois and Indiana and expect
some light rain to fill in and allow for higher PoPs to be
necessary. The front should reach the lake by late morning and
temperatures should surge with good warm advection and warm
sector mixing into the 50s. Winds should increase to at least 50
mph in the warm sector, given the robust wind field aloft and
the deepening low to the northwest. The main forecast questions
for the day will be: What is the environment ahead of the cold
front later today? And, what is the thunderstorm and possible
severe weather potential for today. This morning, south of the
low and ahead of the associated cold front there is a break in
the lower clouds and precipitation over far southern Indiana and
western Kentucky. This will push northeast into the area this
afternoon and suspect will allow for some of the temperatures in
the area to push 60 degrees. In the end, the warmer the area
goes, the more instability will be in place across the region
and the greater potential for thunderstorms. Any convection this
afternoon will have a great wind field to work with aloft to
bring down to the surface, so it would not take much to get some
rumbles that bring down 60 mph winds. Hence, the area is under a
marginal risk for severe weather. The best region is east, where
the cold front will reach later in the day. The best timing for
thunder is 3-7 PM. The cold front will cross the region by
evening and winds in the cold air advection regime should
increase to the 50 to 60 mph range, which is the main time of
concern for the High Wind Warning headlines. Have added Knox and
Holmes Counties to the warning this morning to align with the
addition of the Columbus metro and ILN's area.
The system will clear the region overnight and some lingering
rain showers that may change to snow will continue across
Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania late tonight.
Low temperatures will fall into the lower 30s. High pressure
will build into the region for Sunday. Dry conditions are
expected and high temperatures will attempt to return toward the
50 degree mark across the area.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Low pressure passes west to east to the south of the CWA Monday with
an associated wave of showers followed quickly by an upper trough
axis late Monday night into Tuesday. Pattern aloft becomes zonal
and cool in northerly flow behind the surface low with high pressure
building in from the west.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Midweek high pressure yields to developing low pressure in the lee
of the Rockies for the end of the week. Warm front will form over
the southern lakes and will get into warm air advection Friday into
Saturday along with the return of POPs into the region.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z Saturday THROUGH Wednesday/...
Rain has been very efficient moving through the region this
morning and the bulk of the moderate-to-heavy rain is exiting
east of KERI. Plenty of non-VFR has entered with and behind the
rain this morning and will persist through the day. The non-VFR
has struggled in lakeshore areas with the slight downslope
component eliminating the low ceilings intermittently at KCLE
and holding them off at KERI. Believe that MVFR should
eventually enter at KERI within the next hour or so. Non-VFR
will continue through the morning hours, but winds are expected
to increase as the rain and the warm front lift north during the
morning hours. Some spotty rain showers will be present across
the region through the late morning and early afternoon hours,
but should be less impactful than the overnight rain. Not super
certain on the clouds during the afternoon hours, believe that
there will be MVFR level clouds, but not entirely certain if it
will be a ceiling everywhere, as some breaks may try to develop,
but opted for ceilings for now. A cold front will swing through
during the afternoon hours, ahead of the front and especially
in NE OH/NW PA, there is the potential for some thunder to
develop. Otherwise, the main story will be the winds that will
increase across the area as they shift to the southwest and the
potential for 40-50 kts gusts will increase. Gusts will diminish
Saturday night. Ceilings will likely fall in the MVFR category
with and behind the cold frontal passage, but ceilings should
start breaking toward the end of the TAF period for most.
Outlook...Non-VFR possible Sunday night through Tuesday in
showers.
