Ohio Stormy Scenes: August 23rd, 2015

I took a weekend trip into Ohio a little over a week ago and though I'd share a few of the photos. While a storm chase in theory, storms remained fairly tame over Indiana/Ohio on the afternoon of August 23rd. Nonetheless, I found some neat scenes, courtesy of the northwestern Ohio countryside.

 

Brief commentary: A pair of semi-discrete supercells fired around Fort Wayne, IN around mid-afternoon and these storms continued east into Ohio. They displayed some broad rotation, with smaller, brief areas of rotation at times. A few of the storms produced gusty winds and marginally severe hail. In these photos, an evolving wall-cloud (as the storm developed near Fort Wayne) took on more of a shelf cloud appearance in the first few photos. For a short time near Grover Hill, a more organized, albeit small and brief, rotating wall cloud developed. It dropped ominously close to the ground, before dissipating a short time later.

 

Either way, it was a fun trip and if anyone is not familiar with the area, it is very flat with an excellent road network. Great chase territory, given a favorable atmospheric setup. The area reminded me a bit of Iowa.
