the warm front moved through late this afternoon or early this evening. it help fire up the remnants of the midwest MCS that wreaked havoc over MN, IL, and WI.

behind the warm front, our temps have increased this evening with the stronger s-sw winds. our dew points are now in the low 70s at 8:00 p.m. wow.

The warm front moved through our area late this afternoon or early this evening. Behind the front, our wind speeds have increased to 15 to 30 mph from the south-southwest, causing our temps to rise a few degrees this evening.

At 8:00 p.m., Toledo area temps were in the mid 80s with dew point temps in the low 70s. Conditions are certainly ripe at the low levels.

A line of thundershowers formed recently in central lower Michigan, and this line is dropping southeastward. We could get some rain from this, but I don't think this is the main weather system for late tonight.

I think that the severe thunderstorms currently over Wisconsin will also drop southeastward, and this could be our main weather issue after Midnight.

Strong storms currently exist in Illinois and Iowa, moving eastward. I'm unsure what their role will be in our weather.

Tornado warned counties currently exist in Wisconsin and Illinois.

areas affected...srn lower mi...nwrn oh...nrn indiana...nern il

concerning...severe potential...tornado watch likely

valid 230031z - 230130z

probability of watch issuance...80 percent

summary...tornado watch may be required by 01z from lower mi swwd
into nern il.

discussion...large scale ascent appears to be increasing across
lower mi per expanding elevated convection that is evolving atop
boundary layer stratus. while 00z sounding at dtx is notably
capped...800mb temperature is 7c cooler at grb in closer proximity
to short-wave trough. cooling profiles across this region should
contribute to weaker inhibition over the next few hours and elevated
convection is expected to strengthen and near-sfc based tstms will
likely evolve with time...especially over srn lower mi into nrn
indiana. shear profiles strongly support deep rotating updrafts and
given the instability observed supercells should evolve.
additionally...discrete supercell over nrn il is expected to track
sewd along decayed outflow boundary to the south side of the chicago
metro area over the next few hours. this activity could spread into
nwrn indiana later this evening.

The SPC issued a mesoscale discussion at 8:31 p.m. EDT, followed by a tornado watch at 9:15 p.m. that includes part of the Toledo area. The tornado watch is in effect until 3:00 a.m.

mesoscale discussion:

tornado watch

From the SPC, the primary threats within the tornado watch box include:

• a couple tornadoes possible
• scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible
• scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible

More from the tornado watch summary:

thunderstorms are likely to increase in coverage and intensity this evening as a strong upper jet and cold front approach the region from the west.

a warm and very moist airmass across the watch area will fuel robust storm updrafts amidst intensifying deep-layer wind fields.

this should support both supercell and fast-moving line segments with damaging winds...large hail...and possibly a couple tornadoes.

area forecast discussion
national weather service cleveland oh
918 pm edt mon jun 22 2015

synopsis...
low pressure will cross the northern great lakes tonight. the
associated cold front will drop across the area late tonight and
tuesday morning. high pressure will slide across the great lakes
tuesday into wednesday. a warm front with a wave of low pressure
will move east across the area on thursday.

&&

near term /until 6 am tuesday morning/...

watch 334 has been cancelled but a severe weather threat continues
for the overnight hours as the below mentioned cold front sinks
south towards the area. despite a strong cap observed on the 00z
dtx sounding near 800mb...storms have started to develop in an
area of low level convergence across central lower michigan. moderate
instability with ml capes of 1500-2000 j/kg remains draped across
se michigan and nrn ohio. forcing for ascent is expected to
increase this evening as the shortwave trough over the upper
midwest continues eastward. a new tornado watch is being issued
for nrn indiana/southern lower michigan where shear profiles are
strong with a good likelihood for discrete cells during the late
part of the evening. with time the severe weather threat will
likely transition towards clusters or line segmets later tonight
as the activity approaches nw ohio. uncertainty remains with
exactly how the convection will evolve...if it will tend to move
east out of michigan into canada ahead of the front or build to
the se into ohio. this will likely be the difference between the
greatest threat being across ne ohio/nw pa or pushing south into
nw ohio. a watch remains possible during the overnight hours with
strong winds being the primary threat. however...tornadoes will
also be possible given the rich low level moisture and strong
shear but expect the tornado threat to diminish as we push past 2
am.

previous discussion...impressive low and mid level jet dynamics
with a lot of instability building across the midwest and getting
funneled ahead of the approaching cold front. low level shear is
progged to increase as well. all of these parameters will
eventually be directed across northwest ohio and western lake erie
tonight... and then eastward. the other ongoing thunderstorms will
have a great deal of influence on the local area. the best chance
of strong storms would seem to be ahead of the front later tonight
but thunderstorms are possible earlier on the existing outflow
boundaries of the mcv and the increasing low/mid level jet. all
thunderstorms will bring a threat for damaging winds.

thunderstorms will move relatively quickly tonight and rainfall
amounts would seem limited with each storm. any flood threat will
have to develop with training storms or repeat storms. no plans
for a flash flood watch at this time.

cannot bring myself to go as warm as the guidance for lows
tonight...at least in the areas where will see rain/thunderstorms.
pretty hard to keep low temps in the mid 70s if it rains and we get
outflow thunderstorm winds. will forecast 70/lower 70s.

&&

short term /6 am tuesday morning through thursday night/...
the front should be dropping across the forecast area tuesday
morning. some residual thunder possible as capes are progged to
remain relatively high for that time of the morning. all signs
point to the front being south of the forecast area before
thunderstorms regenerate for the tuesday event. cooler and less
humid...dewpoints will drop steadily through the day.

a weak short wave is progged to zip by on tuesday night at the same
time the surface high is building in. with the dry and stable air in
place will not mention any showers. high pressure is progged to be
overhead on wednesday. high clouds may begin to increase from the
west wednesday afternoon but will keep the forecast dry. highs near
normal. a lake breeze will develop off lake erie.

here we go again on thursday. the boundary begins to move back
north. the models have low pressure of various strengths and
locations. will continue to mention of chance of showers.storms
returning to northwest ohio later wednesday night and across the
entire forecast area on thursday. temperatures are tricky depending
on the warm front. could get pretty warm if the warm front pushes
north of the area or stay cool if we get clouds and showers and the
front remains to the south. will split the difference.

&&

long term /friday through monday/...
the pattern will be much more amplified for the weekend...digging
a deep trough across the eastern half of the u.s. that gives us
slower moving systems and below normal temperatures. biggest
change made to the weekend was to shave several degrees off of
forecast highs...placing them more in the lower/mid 70s saturday
and lower 70s sunday. a surface trough will tend to linger across
eastern oh/western pa saturday before the main upper trough axis
passes sunday. therefore lingered some lower precip chances
through saturday and kept sunday dry. the kicker upstream is
fairly well agreed upon and is progged to take a cold front across
the lower lakes late monday. it will be closer to normals monday
with the southerly flow ahead of that next system.

&&

aviation /00z tuesday through saturday/...
first round of storms has cleared the area. another round of
storms is strengthening across nw il. expect these storms to
spread east towards ohio...arriving in the tol area between
05 and 06z...then continuing off to the east. there is much
uncertainty yet how these storms will evolve...but overall
conditions are quite favorable for strong thunderstorms
overnight. cold front will move through around 23/12z and
conditions will improve to vfr through the morning as cigs
lift.

outlook...non vfr likely thursday in showers and
thunderstorms...lingering into friday.

&&

marine...
strong thunderstorms are expected for the evening and
overnight hours on the lake. some of these storms could have
significant wind associated with them. outside of thunderstorms sw
winds will steadily increase through the evening and night. with all
of this considered have added a small craft advisory to the west
half of the lake in addition to starting it now versus 2 am. the
cold front crosses tuesday morning...with wnw winds
behind...diminishing as the day goes on. high pressure and a calmer
lake are expected for wednesday. low pressure will move across nrn
oh/lake erie on thursday evening...its path determining the winds on
the lake. for now have easterly winds developing on
thursday...veering northeasterly thursday night and friday as the
low tracks east of the lake. depending on the details of this system
it could make for a choppy western third of the lake thu/fri. high
pressure will remain off to the west for saturday.

&&

cle watches/warnings/advisories...
oh...none.
pa...none.

Excerpts from the 9:18 a.m. Cle AFD

a new tornado watch [has been] issued for nrn indiana/southern lower michigan where shear profiles are strong with a good likelihood for discrete cells during the late part of the evening.

with time the severe weather threat will likely transition towards clusters or line segmets later tonight as the activity approaches nw ohio.

uncertainty remains with exactly how the convection will evolve... if it will tend to move east out of michigan into canada ahead of the front or build to the se into ohio.

this will likely be the difference between the greatest threat being across ne ohio/nw pa or pushing south into nw ohio.

Apparently, a small chance exists that the severe weather will miss Toledo tonight.

Excerpts from the 9:18 a.m. Cle AFD

a new tornado watch [has been] issued for nrn indiana/southern lower michigan where shear profiles are strong with a good likelihood for discrete cells during the late part of the evening.

with time the severe weather threat will likely transition towards clusters or line segmets later tonight as the activity approaches nw ohio.

uncertainty remains with exactly how the convection will evolve... if it will tend to move east out of michigan into canada ahead of the front or build to the se into ohio.

this will likely be the difference between the greatest threat being across ne ohio/nw pa or pushing south into nw ohio.

As of 10:25 p.m., the Michigan line of storms was moving east. Unless the line fills in some more, these storms could stay north of Toledo.

The IL storm was moving southeast. Even if it holds together until it reaches Ohio, it will probably move south of Toledo.

This loop ending at 10:15 p.m. shows the possibility that the heavy stuff may stay north and south of Toledo, but barely, so keep the weather radio set to alarm mode, just in case. Toledo could be book-ended by severe weather.

If activity develops along border, then that could impact Toledo. And I suppose that it's possible for the west-east line of storms located in southwest Michigan to drift southeast later tonight and reach the Toledo area.

It's definitely rough in Michigan tonight. This 10:47 p.m. warnings map shows the counties that are at least partially under a warning.

10:50 p.m. radar snapshot. For Toledo, I'm guessing that our main concern could be the storms in southwest Michigan, and whether the storms continue to move east or drift southeast.
