With that line continuing on from Illinois to New York does it technically obtain a derecho classification? It had two extreme wind reports and meets the 250 mile requirement

Back in NW Ohio eh?

Damn, there is some serious instability to the east of that line. Shear could be a bit better but this thing should hum through IN/MI/OH this evening

I just want sunshine at this point

Well said! I moved here at the beginning of 2020 and have not seen this overcast of a stretch since winters in Ohio. With this much troughiness in the US it's going to shut down the tropics with system after system

Peak weather. Up here for the week, loving it after golfing this weekend in 92°/80° weather

I’ve seen 6” in a day since moving to Charleston and I cannot believe what a full foot would look like. Basically like being under a water park bucket

Not often you see the catastrophic flooding tag on a warning

Ahh that’s a good point. Hell I’d even see hard gradients when I lived in NW Ohio. There’d be April days where you’d see temps of 55° in Toledo with an east wind but 75° around Findlay/Lima. It’s truly amazing how different places like Toledo/Cleveland are compared to even Columbus in climate

If I’m not mistaken that was followed by an active Fall severe weather season as well. I remember 2018 being a pretty hot year as Toledo reached 90° 44 times which is impressive as hell considering it’s proximity to the lake. What I couldn’t imagine up there would be the heat waves during the Dust Bowl. I’d love to see what those surface maps looked like with the Great Plains essentially being Phoenix East. I do say all of this by the way while sitting at my pool in Charleston with current conditions of 91°/77° so I’m definitely jealous of your June-August climo

Now you know what it feels like here from June 1-September 15

Glad this took off like it did. Was cool to watch for sure, the banding and swirl were obvious on both radar and eye sight yesterday evening in Charleston

Apparently significant wind damage just occurred half hour ago in Fremont OH just west of Sandusky. Getting reports of lots of damage across the city

It’s gonna be a rough evening across Charleston. Consistent 25-40 mph winds with heavy rain in that band approaching Seabrook

Tightened up a bit with winds 30-40 mph in that band above the center

The banding and humidity is so damn tropical. Currently 77 with 100% humidity

It's just so well defined and convection appears to be strengthening over the Gulf Stream

Honestly though how is this not a system? Defined center, has its own moisture transport and has it's strongest winds in the NE quadrant of the "eye". If you get some sustained 40-45 that'd be enough

What a look on the radar

What a wild storm complex. Damn thing has the swirl of a cinnamon roll

5!? SPC definitely called it today

Damn, the strongest winds are headed straight for Green Bay

Must have been insane to see that from a plane. Always love flying around thunderstorms, to see a storm twice as high as you at cruising altitude is a purely intimidating thought. Here’s one from a recent flight over the ocean

Absolute powerhouse ripping through IN/OH right now

Not sure how strong the line will be here with so much CIN in the region. Tons of instability but we’ll see how much this thing can max out as it progresses. Hail has definitely been impressive for the Great Lakes today
