Deepening surface low pressure lifted across the Upper Ohio Valley during the late morning and afternoon hours of March 7th. An associated cold front swept across the region, with strong cold advection and surface pressure falls contributing to the downward transport of strong wind aloft to the surface.  This manifested as a band of low-topped convective showers along the front, which quickly moved from west to east across the region. Numerous reports of high measured gusts and wind damage were received.  The 62 MPH gust recorded at Pittsburgh International Airport was the sixth-highest gust in the airport's recorded history.
