    recon says 957.6mb on the minute-by-minute plot
  2. Chinook
    it says 960.6 on the minute-by-minute recon obs zoom-in as shown on Tropical Tidbits
  3. Chinook
    Here is the radar image, showing wind gusts measured up to 49mph in the last hour. Maximum radar base velocity of 87kt toward the radar and 69kt away from KTBW.

    GFS 250mb winds (barbs) 250mb height (just the colors, that's pretty much all red) and MSLP (black contours)

    Wow! It's 927mb as shown with the tropical tidbits graphic w/satellite. That is a low pressure. The tail end of the recon pass says 130kt approximately at flight level (Previously posted by Windspeed: early part of the recon pass) and maybe 113kt at surface. At some points in history, we have seen storms with category-5 status with pressure close to 920mb and below. Thanks BostonBulldog for posting incredible graphic that says 140kt briefly.

    Here is an animation of the contoured of the heat index at 21z for the entire Midwest heat wave.

    Low clouds hanging around in Forest Canyon

    Today was, thankfully, a very normal day with partial clouds. It topped off at 82 with a dew point of 64. Yesterday was almost entirely cloudy and in the upper 70's for the high. The sunset tonight has some pink cirrus clouds and some gray cumulus clouds that are kind of blocking me from seeing the sunset. Also note: Toledo CoCoRAHS reports got 3.09" to 3.85" over 48 hours this week. I was able to stay up to watch a lot of lightning on the second one.
  9. Chinook
    recent recon data says up to 73-74 kt at flight level, and something like 70-72 kt at surface level, sea level pressure 977mb

    Fort Collins got 0.8-0.9" from last night. That's pretty heavy, considering it's just past the end of what I would call the monsoon. Comparatively, my place in Toledo beat Fort Collins this week, with rainfall and exciting late-night lightning. We need this stuff for the corn. I was missing the lightning for a lot of June when Fort Collins was getting way more rain.

    here's the radar from Cleveland
  12. Chinook
    marginally severe wind gust to Lambertville (Toledo) also power lines down
  13. Chinook
    winds in the 40 knot range
  14. Chinook
    I think there are three rotations
  15. Chinook
    actually a new rotation almost on top of Eureka Rd, which is the southern end of the airport
  16. Chinook
    this is about 1 mile from DTW
  17. Chinook
    that's tornado debris for sure
  18. Chinook
    This group of storms hit my place hard at 0756z apparently, and moved west, slowly, and weakened. Toledo area got 2-3" . Areas west of Toledo had much less rainfall. The newest HRRR run shows the cap breaks big time in Michigan from hour 5 to hour 6.
  19. Chinook
    now, a tornado warning near sandusky
  20. Chinook
    I stepped outside for a minute. I can see a lot of distant lightning flashes that are in a hazy mass of cloud. I can also see a couple of stars. observations show a severe wind gust from the -east- at Port Clinton Ohio. There is a storm developing rotation near there. rotation near Sandusky (there's a lot of lightning bolts shown on Radarscope)
  21. Chinook
    These storms now (as mentioned) have brought about flash flooding for the Cleveland metro. It seems like they are trying to develop rotation but I don't think much will come of it. The newest HRRR runs now show little development for Detroit/Toledo. That's kind of a huge change.
  22. Chinook
    Storms are forming west of this in the lake and in Ontario. The HRRR says heavy storms could slowly move over Toledo late at night.
  23. Chinook
    Shown here are generally the record highest dew points for the Toledo area, slightly higher than last August. The upper level ridge the Plains and (apparently) record high temperatures at the Gulf of Mexico water surface helped it out.
  24. Chinook
    cooler by the outflow boundary Northern Ohio has cooled below 90, with temps around 71 in Cleveland and 90 in Toledo right now.
  25. Chinook
    Today was another day of dangerous heat indices for some millions of people in the Midwest to the southern Plains
