I feel like I’m back in South Carolina with this heat wave. Pretty impressive to see these level of dew points

91 today. Pretty impressive heat wave considering how cool it's been

Tornado warning south of Findlay. Line approaching I-75

Might have to throw the "d" word out looking at that line in Western IN. I can see this thing easily going another 200 miles

Looks like a nice shot for the area between 6-8 PM tonight

Wednesday night, multiple models show convection sweeping through Indiana/Michigan with a strong wind at 500mb.

 

 

 

Those storms are going to explode when the cap breaks

Gonna call this the year of the east wind

Are there any current videos? This is a large tornado that just ripped through the city

Probably going to see quite a few damage reports from Muskegon to Grand Rapids

Yeah could be a long night with the dogs lol. We'll see how long that line can sustain itself. Some pretty spooky soundings on the HiRes NAM for the N half of IN and lower MI through midnight. I'm gonna bank on my Climo that they die out was they pass LAF for my area. 

Enhanced risk expanded slightly south and further east to Detroit, 30% sig wind introduced over Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. They're expecting mature supercell's ahead of the line so some areas could have a tornado threat and then damaging wind right behind it 

Absolute fire hose off the lake today. Would love to see this in November

Radar loop of the Nebraska supercells last night for anyone interested. One of the crazier velocity loops you’ll ever see. Wouldn’t be surprised if that tornado was on the ground for 2-3 hours.

Were those other storms firing up off outflows from the main cell and then combining back into it? It was very odd

I gotta imagine this mornings line will put a nice boundary down for MN/IA

Despite the warm, moist air surging north into Iowa, most models show little, if any, storm activity around here.  Are we capped or something?

Yes. The Euro shows it breaking and their riding it is my guess

Tornado emergency on that for Essex IA now.

DTW got down to 23F this morning with wind chills near 10F. A few more flurries overnight. Definitely feels like winter.

Rough day to be at the Tigers game for sure

The Detroit Tigers had to move their games up due to the cold per MLB. Good weather to cool those hot bats from New York

Long long time lurker (like since American weather in 03). Lightning struck my tree during this storm. Will add more pics of minor damage in comments.

IWX also confirmed two fairly long trackers that went from Stueben County into Branch County MI. If warm front had gotten further north there'd have been way more tornadoes.

On the IWX web site, they have confirmed a tornado at Bourbon, Indiana (not near Ohio) that was EF-1, 17 miles. That was close to a family member of mine.

Unreal how many actually touched down. I see there was another in Clyde as well. I do not envy IWX and CLE with the beam heights in this area. Toledo proper has the airport radar but that is what it is.

All these tornado warnings, and there's three more days of outlooks (enhanced tonight, moderate tomorrow, enhanced Saturday)

Looks like one south of Paulding, OH in our neck of the woods did drop a tornado down destroying a few homes

So many couplets I can barely keep track of them 

That one to the SW of Memphis…

22 total tornado warnings, (Indiana, Wisconsin ones not shown)

Every storm is basically hooking

Warm front is just not going to make it up here. Looks to stay south of the border now. Couldn’t have been the diarrhetic rain we had for 12 hours straight. It just wouldn’t stop. 

Pretty ominous looking for the Ft. Wayne region though. 

Punting for Toledo as well. Lake Erie wins
