cincy.wx Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Mesoscale Discussion 0244 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0656 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Areas affected...Southeastern Indiana into portions of southwest/south-central Ohio Concerning...Tornado Watch 44... Valid 142356Z - 150100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 44 continues. SUMMARY...An area of greater tornado potential is evident from southeast Indiana into southwestern Ohio over the next 1-3 hours. DISCUSSION...Three supercells from just east of Indianapolis to northwest of Columbus, OH have shown a rightward turn to the southeast. Surface flow remains backed in southwestern portions of Ohio. Considering the observed storm motion and regional VAD profiles, an area of greater tornado threat is evident from southeastern Indiana into southwestern Ohio. 850 mb winds are expected to increase this evening as well. Should storms remain discrete and surface wind backed, the environment would become more favorable in the next 1-3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Winchester IN just had a tornado go right through the middle of town. This is turning into a tornado outbreak very quickly.Pretty solid environment with decent spacing between the storms. It’s allowed all of them to roll pretty good distances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Not good in Plymouth That storm has been tornado for quite some time. It was in a bit of a radar hole off to the west, I think it’s had a large tornado for quite some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 1 hour ago, Chinook said: this was a tornado W of Celina Dang! I knew it was gonna drop one. I tried to get in behind it in Grant County IN, but had to core punch to get there. It slowed me down enough that even though I chased it to almost the state line, I couldn’t catch up. Thing was moving at 70 mph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachLB Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 not sure how much damage has been done but a tornado missed me by about a half mile. getting little bits of some homes damaged just outside of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbuster Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I have to say, I did *not* expect Western Ohio to take such a tornadic strike. I didn't think it was quite warm enough for the clash with the front to produce these kinds of twisters that they experienced in Indiana and Western Ohio today.

Brick Tamland Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Listening to scanner feeds it sounds like Delaware, Ohio and now Indiana have been hit tonight. A trailer park in Logan County, OH was hit and was called a mass casualty incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I know it's kinda the thing everyone says lately but the SPC really dropped the ball this evening when it was obvious the event was uptrending, they didn't even increase the areas that got hit by likely violent tornadoes to a slight risk until the 9PM update. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. There was a clear signal a 10% was justified by noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with the sentiment, this event (from my point of you) didn't look that impressive until late afternoon. I'm still surprised by how powerful some of these twisters were in western Ohio.

I'm still surprised by how powerful some of these twisters were in western Ohio. Look at the STP Map from the 18z HRRR. And the mesoscale analysis had STP of 3+ for a lot of Ohio throughout the day that could have been caught by the 4pm update. Additionally effective SRH(IMO the signal biggest predictor of strong/violent tornadoes) was 300+ on the Mesoanalysis. I’m just saying to not raise to an enhanced, was a mistake based on the signals I saw. My guess is the SPC was thinking veering would tamper any threats which veering was specifically mentioned in the 4pm update 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
