  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. marginally severe wind gust to Lambertville (Toledo) also power lines down
  4. actually a new rotation almost on top of Eureka Rd, which is the southern end of the airport
  5. 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.
  6. 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)
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. cooler by the outflow boundary Northern Ohio has cooled below 90, with temps around 71 in Cleveland and 90 in Toledo right now.
  11. Today was another day of dangerous heat indices for some millions of people in the Midwest to the southern Plains
  12. 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.)
  13. Here are a few flash flood warnings and measured 62mph wind gust
  14. There are some crazy colors for watches/warnings/advisories on this map due to the hurricane impacts, as well as the Midwest heat.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. severe storms scattered from Delaware/Maryland to Florida
  18. There two tornado warnings near DC a few minutes ago. Now, mostly 50dBz over the area with a lot of lightning in some areas
  19. Did Minneapolis even hit 113 degrees in the year 1934 or 1936?
