on_wx Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 HOWEVER...THE SOMEWHAT STRONGER LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND ASSOCIATED TORNADO RISK MAY BE GREATER INTO SW ONTARIO. Oh man that just made me feel dizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Very pleasant out. Not very humid. Going by how it feels out you wouldn't think severe weather was likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 80/70 at my house in Toledo rite now, however look at Fort Wayne as it is already up to 86/73. Pretty concerned about the chances today especially with the amount of shear ahead of these things. I'll be out in Archbold OH doing some errands so hopefully being more west and in flat farmfields will be condusive for good storm chasing if things explode later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outflow Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Really getting unstable now. 85/72. this reminds me of aug 23rd 2003 when the front unzipped all at once and went severe very quickly. Had the webberville EF2 that day along with all other kinds of svr. weather. Might be just a tad earlier with front timing day vs then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Tornado watch covers just about half of Ontario now. Today just might be the largest media hype tornado watch ever. Every station radio or tv... all calling for tornadoes of death and doom. Anyone else in Ontario/Canada noticing this? Even national news is breaking into programming tracking updates waiting for tornado warnings. CP24 just called for major damage in the Greater Toronto Area. Also, someone thought they spotted a tornado in Markstay, so the local government received several phone calls from media thinking the town was destroyed. A public statement was put out the town is still very much there and for everyone to stay calm. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Looks like we might have some initiation from Bay City to Grand Rapids based on radar... I am interested though, whats up with that small area of lower Craven #s in S. Central M? Looked into it and ML CAPE is a lot lower in that region for whatever reason...

Looked into it and ML CAPE is a lot lower in that region for whatever reason... i don't know if anything can go out that far ahead of the cold front, which looks to be somewhere near the lake mi shoreline since even holland and cadillac are still SW with dps in the 70s, with the cap in place. i think your going to need the cold front itself to provide the force to break the cap.

Svr is not my strong suit, so bear with me, but I think BUF mentioned in their morning AFD that they think the prefrontal trough is going to be the primary focusing mechanism for storms.

an uncanny otter Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hey guys. I've been lurking these forums since March, but since today looks like it might be a big day, I figured I might as well start posting. I like in Chatham-Kent, Ontario and have been an avid weather fan for as long as I can remember. I love every kind of weather, be it blizzards, thunderstorms or clear skies. I'm far from an expert when it comes to weather but I'm pretty eager to learn - planning on taking Atmospheric Sciences at McGill in 2012. Don't expect much from me except for amateur observations, but I'll definitely be hanging around in the background. I've been looking out for today ever since the SPC issued their Day 3 risks on Sunday. As mentioned before, I'm sure the widespread Tornado Watches are being issued mostly to be EXTRA SAFE because of the Goderich tornado. It's pretty crazy seeing the general lack of weather knowledge from the public, though. One look on The Weather Network's Facebook page is showing dozens of people freaking out, and a few exasperated people trying to calm everybody down. This is Chatham-Kent's second Tornado Watch of the year. Our first was waaaaay back in May. Let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
