Follow this group on Facebook! Pretty cool they put out a daily forecast map and have a whole network of spotters along the shores of Ontario, Erie and Huron. Nice double waterspout picture in front of the sunrise over Lake Erie this morning. .

WIVB was reporting higher amounts earlier today. Think that 4.44” would be excluded as too much of an outlier with the other surrounding reports generally maxing at 2.5” - 3.0”. .

Well look at that! .

Getting pretty active this afternoon! .

Peak intensity earlier today. Take a look at the training storms over Michigan. Almost looks like the lake was feeding them. .

That line plowed over 1,000 miles today without a single hiccup until it hit Lake Erie... This thunderstorm warning is odd. States the cell is moving northeast along the lake from Angola? That cluster is almost dead and whatever is left is moving west into Hamburg Boston not into the city... There is a very nice lightning show looking south however. .

An incredible storm complex. This thing has held together all day! .

Let’s see if these can bust through that lake breeze tonight. Could really go for a good thunderstorm! .

Meanwhile upstream... Thunderstorm wind gusts to 105mph!?!?WOW! .

There’s something you don’t see often... Set our MAX and MIN temps for the day 45 minutes apart. Heat advisory was a huge bust on today’s forecast. .

Big time dud! Lost some of its punch crossing the lake but even under those good returns just a 15 minute downpour... .
