ksstormhunter Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Tracking severe thunderstorms just northwest Amherst, OH to Cleveland OH. My output showing potential to see wind gusts up to 63mph, hail up to 3/4" possible in the next 1-3 hours across the Cleveland area. Indices are LI' around -6, SFC CAPE around 2,300 j/kg, 0-3KM CAPE around 264 j/kg. Looks like from Kipton, OH and points North and East will be effected.

hm8 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Heard thunder all the way from 7-10, but most of it was dry and only got .2" of rain here. Looking at the radar loop, looks like it was pretty weird and messy looking...storms kept firing up in northern and eastern Oakland County.

Stebo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Had some solid storm action around 7am that woke me up, will be interested to see if something reforms this afternoon. Just West of here there is decent instability that should expand and strengthen in the next couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Either that small line of storms passing over the DTX radar is about to go nuts or they just pack an inordinate amount of lightning for their size...I can hear a nearly-constant roar of thunder and they're still 20 miles away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard this much thunder with a tiny non-severe line of storms. It's a really weird scene here, as the skies don't look dark at all, but the thunder is nearly constant and getting quite loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurora Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I keep checking the radar every 5 minutes waiting to see a line explode. I doubt it's going to happen, as CAPE still isn't that high. In fact, I think these are probably somewhat elevated. They're just producing a ton of lightning for reasons I'm not smart enough to understand, but it's definitely a really neat effect.

hm8 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thunder is decreasing as the storms get closer....totally venturing a wild guess here and I might have no idea what I'm talking about, but maybe wind shear is so high compared to CAPE right that the storms are just getting blown apart and the more elevated part of the storm with more lightning passed over here before the actual storm does.

aurora Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Again, I'm hearing consistent low, rolling thunder off in the distance even though the nearest storms are 15+ miles away. Maybe it's just more noticeable because of the lack of storms thus far this summer, but I can't really remember hearing thunder that far away before.

Stebo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Both cells in Oakland and Wayne counties are showing decent midlevel rotation and the warning statements for both include golfball hail, the Northern cell winds in excess of 70 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 S. Oakland country cell missed me just to my south, but I saw some sweet looking towers from it driving home from an errand. CONFIDENCE IS DROPPING THAT WE WILL SEE MANY STORMS OVERNIGHT...YET ALONE SEVERE STORMS...BUT CONTINUED WITH LOW CHANCE POPS TO GIVE THE LLJ A CHANCE TO AIDE IN SOME DEVELOPMENT LATER ON. LOW TEMPS WILL STAY ELEVATED IN THE LOW 70S OVERNIGHT AS WAA SETS UP WITH SW FLOW AND MID LEVEL RIDGING AMPLIFYING OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS BUILDING TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES.

RobertSul Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Nickel sized hail here, gusty winds, and alot of rain. Nice storm. Looking forward to more later. Yeah, you got the meat of that cell. In Canton all we got was a brief heavy downpour... though now the sun is fully out, and there are cells popping up to the southeast of Lansing. Let's destablize!
