IWXwx Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If anything comes out of this, it would be quite a surprise. I was expecting everything to stay in Ohio. MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1410 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0458 PM CDT THU JUL 05 2012 AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL AND WRN OH...NRN AND ERN INDIANA...SRN LOWER MI CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE VALID 052158Z - 052330Z PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT SUMMARY...ONGOING STORMS OVER SERN MI INTO NWRN OH MAY CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND POSE A DAMAGING WIND THREAT TO NRN INDIANA INTO WRN/CNTRL OH. DISCUSSION...SURFACE ANALYSIS AND VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOW AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MOVING SWWD FROM SRN MI SEWD ACROSS CNTRL OH. THE AIR MASS NEAR THIS BOUNDARY REMAINS VERY UNSTABLE...WITH MID TO UPPER 60S F DEWPOINTS. RADAR TRENDS INDICATE SOME CLUSTERING OF STORMS NOW ENTERING NWRN OH OUT OF MI...AND THIS AREA MAY HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF GROWING UPSCALE AND BECOMING SEVERE. THE SRN EXTENT OF THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD STOP NEAR THE OH RIVER WHERE THE AIR MASS WAS RECENTLY OVERTURNED...AND SWWD INTO CNTRL IND WHERE LOWER PWAT EXISTS WITH DEWPOINTS INTO THE 59-61 F RANGE. ..JEWELL/CORFIDI.. 07/05/2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Desperately need the rain here in immediate Michiana area. Nice to see the outflow boundary on IWX radar moving westward from the complex of storms in Ohio that did go svr in the Fort Wayne area. But our chances are minimal.

michsnowfreak Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Storm #1....July 4th around 745pm: 0.35", extremely gusty winds, brief near-whiteout Storm #2....July 5th I guess 6amish: 0.23" rain, slept through it (though did toss and turn hearing thunder, didnt even notice the wind). Storm #3/4..July 5th between 1pm-3pm: few seperate storms dropped 0.42". So all in all, an inch of much needed rain imby the last 2 days, but we did not get any of the hail that seemed to hit many of the northern burbs.

Powerball Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Wednesday was the perfect summer day for me. After plenty of sushine and temps getting into the low 100s, severe t'storms ended the day. I had non-stop thunder from 6-9PM yesterday. Saw hail and strong winds with two different cells. Then of course the squall line came through early this morning, which I slept through. Traffic lights were out all over and I saw a huge tree limbs blocking streets around town. Debris was everywhere. The really interesting part about the late afternoon storms is it was still bright and sunny not even 10 minutes before they developed overhead.

nwohweather Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Downed trees in Sylvania, just north of Toledo and significant power outages today. After work in Maumee I saw it rolling in over there and whoa you could obviously see it was a potent downdraft on eyesight alone. Thousands were without power and I guess even trees were uprooted. Shocked to see such an intense storm like that today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Pretty cool watching the loop of the storms that hit Chicago today. It's not very often you see outflow stall and get pushed back the other direction that quickly. Especially with Lake Michigan right there. http://weather.cod.edu/buildmap/nexrad_build.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 from LOT Storm Damage in Northwest Indiana Intense dowmbursts from the storms caused extensive damage in Gary, Griffith and Merrillville, IN. A church at 4929 15th Avenue in Gary had a section of roofing peeled back, and trees were damaged in the area. Further south, the roof of an apartment was damaged at 57th Street and Broadway. A truck was overturned on I-65 near 61st Street. Trees, signs, and power lines were also blown down in the area. This damage is consistent with winds of 75 to 90 mph.

A-L-E-K Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 similar or great potential today but we're missing the minor trigger...not sure if the lake breeze will be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 As a result of last week's derecho, there were still 3,200 customers without power in the Fort Wayne area. The severe storm that hit the city last evening put out winds estimated at 50 to 60 MPH, knocking down more trees and power lines. As of this morning, the number of customers without power is back up to 14,000. Imagine going a week without power, especially in this heat wave, thinking the juice is going to get turned on soon, or has just been turned on, and WHAM! out it goes again. Talk about a swift kick where it counts. As brutal as it is outside, I'm thankful to have AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Best chance for storms appears to be overnight central WI southeast into MI. For Chicago to get hit, would require the tail-end of rotating MCS to come in on lake breeze front around 09z perhaps. This may factor into temperature forecast for tomorrow, possibly debris from this event might hold maxes down in the Lake Michigan region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to hear that last weeks derecho created more destruction for Ohio than the hurricane Ike windstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Looks like significant convection is finally starting to fire along the cold front up by the Twin Cities. Come on cold front and get rid of this heat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman1952 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Looks like significant convection is finally starting to fire along the cold front up by the Twin Cities. Come on cold front and get rid of this heat! Good news. After tomorrow we should also get rid of the heat. I hope we get some rainfall first though.

IWXwx Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Chased a popup cell near Huntington this afternoon. IWX severe warned it. It did have some pea to dime sized hail. I also got hit by a wet microburst. Had a 50 MPH gust which knocked over a couple of trees and laid some corn down. Here is a pic I took before it intensified. It actually did do some damage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Where are these northern IL storms going? All of a sudden I noticed cumulonimbus going up to the SW of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Where are these northern IL storms going? All of a sudden I noticed cumulonimbus going up to the SW of here. They're basically stationary. Outflow is undercutting many of them. Colliding outflow boundaries south of the main line may fire some new cells from time to time. So the effective movement of the line is southward.

Given that I wish the frontal boundary would have been slower this morning - maybe they would have fired over the border area and given my yard some rain!
