  1. Pretty cool yesterday, had a funnel cloud drift over a Toledo suburbs yesterday with that small thunderstorm around 8:30 PM
  2. It makes sense though given how rural the area around KTDZ is. The farm fields are absolutely cooking at the moment
  3. You are correct sir. This area was known as the Great Black Swamp in Ohio's early history and was eventually drained using ditches that emptied into the Maumee, Portage and Sandusky rivers. Fascinating history of Indian disputes, wars (War of 1812) and pioneers traversing a harsh terrain to create where we live today.
  4. 96 and climbing here in Toledo. Might be a bit too muggy to hit 100, we'll see but I think we stop at 98
  5. Unreal how sustained this heat wave looks to be. Multiple days making a run at 100 in Toledo, OH is just insanity
  6. Really shows you how the pattern in place during the Dust Bowl was able to bring such devastating dust storms
  7. Lapse rates aren't great and the storms are outpacing the better shear. If the shear was just a little more pronounced in the warm sector, I'd like our odds for more widespread severe weather.
  8. Need to remember we're transitioning from an El Nino to a La Nina
  9. Just insane. Watching that video though, the vortices were just incredibly powerful
  10. One thing to consider as well is that the Indy 500 is Sunday (I'll be attending as usual). Optimistic that morning rain will clear out in time for the 12:45 green flag and stay clear while instability grows for later in the afternoon. But, anyone chasing in Indiana will likely see packed interstates with 300,000 in attendance.
  11. Absolute monster on the radar. One of the strongest signatures I've ever seen within a line
  12. I almost wonder if threads need to be merged since it's on the edge of C/W as well. Regardless, some extremely strong wording coming from the SPC today. Looks like a lot of CIN still in the region, definitely need that to erode and instability.
  13. What a night for the TN Valley. My goodness this has been a prolific three days
  14. Thanks for providing this synopsis. Seeing the thermals initially at the surface the environment seemed absolutely primed, but I was not thrilled at the mid levels. Interesting it was less lake influence and more warming in the mid levels.
  15. A late day lake breeze pretty much saved Toledo. Put one of those major tornadoes in metro Toledo, we would have had a very bad problem
  16. Clearly two tornadoes confirmed by radar here
  17. Definitely deserving of a moderate risk today. Hot take, the NWS being in Norman, OK comes with biases
  18. What’s your thoughts on the Paulding county cell? Some better shear and helicity off to the east may help it tighten up fully IMO
  19. It looks like the Ohio Turnpike is sort of the line. Decent amount of CIN in place at the moment in the mid layers. I think the cell around Paulding, OH could stay tornadic until around Bowling Green
  20. STP’s are very high in NW Ohio at the moment. That Indiana cell could explode as it heads east. Only caveat is that the air seems drier in NW Ohio
  21. East wind off the lake may put a lid on this for Toledo proper. Areas to the south though… That Ft Wayne storm looks legit
  22. Fremont, IN just was hit by a large tornado
  23. Headed to Bowling Green, Ohio to chase. Instability isn’t even high where those large tornadoes are at the moment either SPC should consider a MDT as well
