It definitely felt like textbook tornado weather today (with the strong low-level winds and moisture advection). 

Stay safe for those getting directly hit. 

Shear and instability were forecasted  to be lower then they ended up, which would have kept the severe risk marginal. More daytime heating occurred, and shear was higher then modeled. Perfect storm for a unforecasted outbreak.

The rotating cell in Putnam County is about ten miles from me. Sheriff's deputies did witness multiple touchdowns of short duration with that cell, with damage to structures and trees, several reports of power lines down.  Fortunately, that area of Putnam County is sparsely populated.

Looking at the models, tomorrow should be closely watched. 

 

Would be foolish not to after a day like this.  Obviously there was something that was missed or underappreciated even pretty close in.  In general, the low level flow tomorrow looks a little more veered than today, but there could be enough shear for some tornado threat.  And the same general area looks to be threatened tomorrow, with perhaps more of a centralized focus on Ohio.
