This wind is wild. Maybe only 1-2” but it is blowing at 20-30 easy

Eh the amount of things that went right for April 27th to occur was insane. The instability and shear overlapped was off the charts, and led to 34 separate long track tornadoes rated EF3 or higher and killed 316 people. Also you can add in the whole outbreak as all 4 days had at least 40 tornadoes. March was an awesome anomaly, but that day was shocking because of its impact

Hmm hard for me to put the March torch above the extreme disasters. April 27th may never happen again honestly

Coming from a Toledoan here... June 5-6 2010 Tornadoes (absolutely smoked NW Ohio) March 2012 Torch (I believe April wound up being a colder month) November 2013 Tornadoes (heck of an outbreak across the GL) Winter of 2013-14. Insane season! 40” in January with 10” falling on New Years Day and then 13” blizzard hitting us 4 days later. 86” in the Lower GL is something that will probably never happen again The rainy summer of 2015 April 2016 Snowstorm. 10” in early April! Was incredibly hard and experienced Thundersnow August 2016 Tornadoes. Another wild event, followed the EF3 from out by Napoleon into Maumee Holidays 2016-2017 Arctic Cold. Insane to remember, didn’t hit 20° for two consecutive weeks. Most days were around zero Memorial Day 2019 Tornadoes. Heck of a night outbreak for SW and Central Ohio Nationally I’m going... #5... Joplin Tornado #4... Hurricane Harvey & Flooding #3... Groundhog Day Blizzard of 2011 #2... Hurricane Michael obliterates panhandle #1... April 2011 Tornado Outbreak

Hell of a roll cloud today

Beautiful day today! No complaints here about this warmth, very pleasant to be outside in just a hoodie

Looks like between 1-7 AM will be when portions of NW Ohio will be over ran with snow, this may be best for the band to expand a bit as the supercells occurring with the tornado outbreak to the south will not play as big of a role in robbing the moisture transport as we move towards the overnight. To me seems pretty obvious at the moment that the narrow band of snow is being forced into that because of the moisture theft happening with the supercell development in the South

Extremely interesting to see what happens here tonight in NW Ohio. Findlay-Tiffin showing 3-6" with this round, while 30-40 miles to the north may see a total shutout. Absolutely razor thin margins that may effect the Toledo suburbs. Also wanted to add will be moving the Chicago burbs here soon so will be joining the Illinois crew for the second half of winter

Hmm not seeing any lightning strikes on RadarScope. Hell of a snow band there however!

Well if you abide by the cyclical nature of things this is ideal. Warmer/dryer December with a shot or two of snow, leading to a cold and snowy January where it'll really pay off. I have seen too often where a cold snowy Nov-Dec turn into a blah January thru March snow wise

Looks like a solid shot from Springfield Illinois to Cleveland of 3-6" with some freezing rain for areas to the south of that. Not the biggest storm but definitely a disruptive weekday storm

Couldn’t agree more. A low of this caliber is going to pull in a nice chunk of that cold air

Yikes at the overrunning going on with this thing. Nice little cutter dropping good snow from Chicago-Detroit while Indiana and Ohio get slammed with ice. Also some solid cold behind it could really get the lake effect machine going on the backside, could see places in West Michigan get buried next week

I like this one going to Chicago-Metro Detroit for a solid hit. Pre-Christmas storms hooking out of the Panhandle are almost always a lock for the I-94 corridor and wouldn't be shocked if this follows suit. Looks like a dicey ice mix though that needs to be tracked

Thank God my flight out is this morning and not tomorrow. Non stop to Vegas would be quite bumpy with those kinds of winds

Oh absolutely. The tilt to this thing with that jet streak is providing plenty of forcing, anyone solidly in the band is going to see some serious totals. I really was shocked most didn't go WSW, especially with it being early season and mid weekday storm. Very dynamic system that can also pull from some warm water on the lakes, should be a solid hit

Heavy sleet in NW Ohio currently. I think the lake enhancement is going to be quite a boost to the totals, especially for those east of I-75. My call is 3-4" for all places west of I-75 & 4-6" for all portions east. Currently the radar is essentially showing a blank yet the sleet is absolutely pouring to the point it looks like a mini hailstorm. Once this turns to snow as the band approaches it will be rip city

Wow this thing is really getting a nice tilt to it. I am impressed at the wind coming out of the NE, absolutely howling out here. Can see this thing overproducing for sure as that 150 kt streak kicks in

Lake enhancement for NW Ohio?

I really dodged a bullet not having to go to Schaumburg for work until Tuesday. Would've been the worst drive ever tomorrow

I believe April 2016 was similar in being a massive FGEN band rolling thru SE MI and NW Ohio. Actually had a business trip rescheduled bc of this mess

Those severe storms blew. Nice mammatus clouds on the back end though of the line

I don’t hate our tornado chances here today. Maybe not the most likely but anything discrete is going to rotate

Yeah with all the rain your summer basically didn’t start until June. Heck I’ve been swimming here in Columbus since the middle of May, it was noticeable on Memorial Day weekend in Toledo how fresh the leaves were

This weather has been something as of late but looks like it’ll be back to the pool tomorrow with temps in the upper 80s. One thing I will say is this sun angle definitely makes it feel hotter than it is
