Hoosier Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Given what has already occurred and what is yet to come, this event looks like it will live up across the region, generally speaking. About what you would expect for an ENH to MOD risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes a lot of punch out of winter storms, and likely has a similar effect on severe I literally just watched a nice cell slide by on radar about a quarter mile to the East of my house. My yard hasn't seen a drop of rain today. Is this enough of a reason to sell my house and move? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The outflow boundary from the line of storms is causing more storms to blow up over the east side of Detroit now. Not severe right now, but they're looking healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can count on one hand the number of storms I've seen with more than a couple lightning strikes since I moved to Macomb County in 2010. It gets really irritating hearing thunder from miles away as all the storms dance around Wayne and Macomb counties. I can't count the number of times I've watched my zip code ride a slot in between storm cells to stay dry. yeah i have noticed that too. for some reason they dance around. even kinda looks like it this time around too. hope the development to the south gets stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the archive radar, Windsor probably saw even bigger hail. There was some good magenta color in that cell before it crossed the river.

NTXYankee Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 lol eventually a line of storms won’t split or die when it moves into Columbus only to fill back in to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly worthy of the severe warnings but winds/hail are the bigger story it seems. Most high-shear events produce a lot of IC lighting with the discrete cells. During the day you hardly notice the lighting. The bigger linear segments often have tons of CGs, but they can be hard to see in the rain. I really love storms that produce the big clear-air bolts out in front of the rain shaft, but they can be kinda rare. You almost have to live in a place like Florida that gets the daily sea-breeze convergence storms to see CG shows consistently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splits seem to happen because the outflow gets too far out ahead of the storm. Today I got some good time-lapse of a big whale-mouth shelf. It was so dark I thought for sure I was going to get clobbered, but when the shelf actually passed over the line was a bit broken with a lot of dry gaps between small cells. I think the shear was directed too much along the line, rather than perpendicular. I noticed the section that pivoted to the northeast (due to earlier MCV development) was more severe than the east-facing section. Orientation of the line relative to the shear seems to make a huge difference with the strength of linear segments. Supercells can do well with any outflow boundary orientation, so long as they aren't too crowded. Linear segments crap out and split pretty easy when the orientation is wrong.

Chinook Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Possible tornado in Ohio, about 25 miles northeast of Ashland, Kentucky. (Ohio River valley.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I finally got to check in. It looks like there was widespread wind damage. This ol' boy's tired from helping the town of Andrews clean up from 70+ MPH winds (was storm spotting there when it hit), then spent the evening helping fight a house fire. Pics later. Good night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets really irritating hearing thunder from miles away as all the storms dance around Wayne and Macomb counties. I can't count the number of times I've watched my zip code ride a slot in between storm cells to stay dry. The typical thunderstorm is only several miles wide, the worst conditions maybe a mile or two wide, combine that with a specific location say a town that is a couple miles square and the odds of getting struck are actually quite small. Really it isnt uncommon at all to miss an event and for this area that already has limited opportunities that can lead to some pretty long boring stretches of weather For example today at my house we had a couple garden variety storms nothing to write home about. I caught a storm roughly 13 miles wnw of my house and had some 3/4 in hail with winds gusting to est. 70mph for a good 5 straight mintues with lots of tree and powerline damage and some structural. Almost the entire western third of my county is without power. So 10-15 miles made the difference between a run of the mill storm and probably the worst storm in the immediate area in about 4 years.

Chinook Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 This happened a few hours ago at Sandusky, OH. It must have been something like a 100mph wind to break through bricks. Quote SANDUSKY, Ohio — Severe thunderstorms have been making their way through Northeast Ohio Wednesday, and as a result, a 92-year-old landmark appears to be in shambles. Strong wind and rain heavily damaged the Sandusky State Theatre on Columbus Avenue. A 3News viewer sent us photos and video via Facebook, showing portions of the walls and roof gone with bricks scattered all over the sidewalk and street. A video from another viewer (which can be seen in the player above) captured the moment the wall collapsed. source: https://www.wkyc.com/article/weather/severe-weather/look-storms-severely-damage-sandusky-state-theater/95-6e570ecd-3488-4c91-9aa0-af4fe5c48682 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The squall line here in Midwestern ON was among the most lame I've ever been in. It was so pethetic that even I was in disbelief, however hours later there was a second wind which packed a bit more punch but whatever. Just to nail home just how tame it was, I heard only ONE distant thunder during the passage!! Just some breezy heavy rains. I'm glad I didn't go out to chase this near the shoreline. Mark did and he doesn't know why it fell apart as it entered the more favorable parameter space but I've seen it nearly every time so its not a shock but the extent of the collapse was. It almost looked like K-W wasn't going to see anything at all but the 2nd round gave them some. Once again the warm front brought the goods and the cold front failed. There were some large limbs though down in the locale, I didn't see any high winds that could do that? The second cluster that came up from MI that produced the real storm down south also delivered two tornadoes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchener poster Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I had a huge line come through. Tornado warnings just 30 miles west of me. Somehow it was fairly tame for me. No high winds, lightning and thunder always somewhere in distance. Glad to have picked up 0.85” of rain though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 530 wind reports with 8 strong ones, almost all listed in the Great Lakes region. One of the better severe weather days I’ve ever seen, despite a lack of tornadoes. I’d say the wind damage was the equivalent of a Cat 1 moving thru the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
