A strong, occluding surface low crossed the Great Lakes on November 27th. After morning rain, instability in the form of around 500 J/kg of mean-layer CAPE was able to develop in the Middle Ohio Valley and advect northeast into northern West Virginia and southwest Pennsylvania. A strongly sheared environment was also present. Strong low-level flow helped to support a damaging-wind threat, while cold temperatures aloft and favorable deep-layer shear also supported large hail, which is unusual for late November. Virtually all of the severe weather occurred in southwest Pennsylvania, with only one instance of downed power lines reported in northern West Virginia.
