The wider storm

A strongly forced band of convection developed over West Virginia during the morning of March 16th ahead of an approaching front, and quickly lifted north-northeastward into Pennsylvania through the early afternoon. Despite relatively modest instability, very strong deep layer shear, along with largely unidirectional southerly flow and elongated hodographs, supported the continuation of significant severe storms. Large impact was felt from straight-line wind, with gusts in the 60 to 70 MPH range, locally higher, causing widespread damage to trees, power lines, and structures.

Began near Lead Mine (39.1900, -79.5600).
