  1. 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)
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. cooler by the outflow boundary Northern Ohio has cooled below 90, with temps around 71 in Cleveland and 90 in Toledo right now.
  6. Today was another day of dangerous heat indices for some millions of people in the Midwest to the southern Plains
  7. There are some very high heat indices today in the Midwest. I am not sure if the values over 121 are believable (121 at St Joseph Missouri.) Lawrence Kansas has 103/84/134, but it sounds suspicious. (dew points of 75-80 on mesonet sites in town.)
  8. Here are a few flash flood warnings and measured 62mph wind gust
  9. There are some crazy colors for watches/warnings/advisories on this map due to the hurricane impacts, as well as the Midwest heat.
  10. Look at this huge cloud field! There are new things that happen in weather every day, but a tropical storm getting to San Diego and Los Angeles is something I have not seen.
  11. Some storms were severe in Minnesota/Wisconsin tonight. These storms are struggling with the cap and weakening of the daytime heat. They aren't struggling with shear, as that's pretty darn good for this time of year.
  12. severe storms scattered from Delaware/Maryland to Florida
  13. There two tornado warnings near DC a few minutes ago. Now, mostly 50dBz over the area with a lot of lightning in some areas
  14. Did Minneapolis even hit 113 degrees in the year 1934 or 1936?
  15. so this is a confirmed tornado. I actually have to drive through that town sometimes
  16. If this is right, then it could send a lot of water and wind to Tokyo's bay
  17. I heard that Phoenix just had the warmest average month of any large American city, in history.
  18. Tonight, the low clouds finally dissipated and there were some nice high clouds of a couple of types close to sunset. The temp is down to 70 now, with, thankfully dew points down to 61. During this weekend's storm and earlier today, my place had light rain, drizzle, low clouds, with dew points up to 72 on Saturday. It feels like this whole region wasted a chance for good thunderstorms. Mostly steady rains went from Indiana to Michigan and killed the instability that could have been. I think my place got 0.3" of rain and I could barely even tell it happened.
  19. high winds of 65-70mph detected by radar above ground
