Shawn Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Today is a marginal at best setup locally. Looking at the outlooks etc, definitely a lot more tame so far. It only takes one strong spinup for a terrible day somewhere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 One thing we've got going for us is that the debris clouds have generally cleared up, so the sun's out and the temps are rising. If we can manage to get temps into the low-mid 80s, then things might get interesting later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I was looking at the severe chances for northern Ohio. Toledo has 40-50 knots of deep layer shear right now. But, can it get CAPE (large enough for severe storms) ????? Survey says....... only if you turned on a propane heater. The thermodynamic profiles around Toledo will feature maybe up to 1000 J/kg of CAPE at Toledo, with mid-level lapse rates that are not spectacular.

Torchageddon Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 There is a tornado warning right now from EC for Mount Forest - Arthur - Northern Wellington County. I saw that cell but didn't look like anything more than a thunderstorm. Has a confirmed funnel cloud 6 km south of Mount Forest. Maybe Harris is on it and sent that in . EDIT: TWN just showed a picture of the funnel cloud on TV and it was a small white one. They said it was sent from Dave Patrick and the warning has now expired.

harrisale Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 There is a tornado warning right now from EC for Mount Forest - Arthur - Northern Wellington County.

EDIT: TWN just showed a picture of the funnel cloud on TV and it was a small white one. They said it was sent from Dave Patrick and the warning has now expired. Unfortunately missed this one! Dave Patrick reported and uploaded a video of a brief tornado, EF0. Cell looked TINY on radar and there wasn't a single lightning strike associated with it so I didn't even bother heading out. Got burned in the end. Oh well that's weather I guess. Meal analysis was showing 45-50kts of shear and despite poor instability that cell was still able to spin something up. Congrats to Dave Patrick on that catch. He was the only one to witness it. Guy is a southern Ontario chasing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
