Storm near Cassopolis developing quickly

You got that right. Cell exploded out of nowhere and many of the cells look healthy off to the west of Ohio. Bulk shear numbers over NW Ohio are just awful at the moment, the only driver really is that strong westerly flow aloft

I'm just glad our posters in the land of the dying MCS's in se MI, ne IN and nw OH are getting some t storm action at least today.  There will be plenty of other opportunities.

Yeah today is a good day up here, glad to add the soil moisture for later in the season.

I thought the differential heating and low-level helicity might have been enough for a warm front spin up in detroit-windsor area.  Oh well.  Everything just ended up disjointed. 

Likewise, stuff just fired too quickly today which the models didn't have a handle on. That threw everything for a loop.

yep.  elevated stuff had a lot of staying pattern and that impulse timing right now was not great.  Maybe some decent storms with the lancing-kalamazoo line?  

Might get something decent there but as it moves east this side of the state has been completely worked over.

The circulation looked decent... wouldn't be shocked if something was on the ground.

The cell sw of the city has been increasing in organization as well, also has some big time hail with it. Radar detecting 3-4" hail with that storm.

Yep.

The peak of severe weather season isn't for another 2 months.

This is the equivalent of a November snowstorm busting. Yes, it's unfortunate, but anything at all would have pretty much been a bonus.

Looked good enough for an enhanced for wind. This was never a tornado event.

Even guidance progged lapse rates and cloud cover would be an issue. I think the SPC was banking on strong forcing / shear compensating for it.

Oh well.
