An advancing cold front, along with shortwave support, created the chance for thunderstorms across the region. Sufficient shear (40kts in the 0-6km layer), moderate to high instability (1500-2000 J/kg of CAPE), and dry mid-level air resulted in damaging winds and hail. Flash flooding occurred, mostly south of Pittsburgh, with training storms.
