Model estimated sounding at KDAY shows no textbook convective inhibition but storms aren't firing.

Shows some low and mid-level subsidence. Also shows a rather significant dry layer above 700mb which may be suppressing updrafts. 

The cold front is still quite a bit away but I'm growing pessimistic about anything developing

Worth noting, too, that the supercells that developed early were along a pre-frontal surface trough... not the cold front. Pretty easy to spot the cold front now and it's rapidly catching up to the surface trough.

Edit: actually, I don't know what that secondary front is. Mesoanalysis does show lower dew points behind it. I don't think it's the actual cold front anymore because the part in northern Indiana is behind the main temp/dew point gradient.

Either way, I think storms will be renewed as that feature moves southeast.

Oakland County (MI) split the uprights again.  Missed to my north and south. 

You'd think at least one of those "showers and thunderstorms likely" forecasts I've been getting would give me something.  But haven't seen rain IMBY beyond a few sprinkles for a few weeks now.

   Areas affected...northwestern Ohio

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 477...

   Valid 202030Z - 202200Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 477
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe risk has diminished in the short term, but may
   increase/expand southwestward across western Ohio over the next
   couple of hours.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows the stronger storms which
   earlier crossed WW 477 now moving into western Ontario and western
   Lake Erie, as the cold front continues moving eastward across
   southeastern Michigan and northwestern Ohio.

   While no severe storms are ongoing on the U.S. side of the border at
   this time, latest HRRR runs continue to indicate potential for
   southwestward development of storms along the front, across western
   Ohio, over the next couple of hours -- including across the
   remaining Ohio portions of WW 477.

Well, almost all of eastern Michigan got severe warnings today so "thunderstorms likely" was accurate for most

I'm not saying the forecast wasn't accurate for the wider area. 

What I'm saying is that I'm setting a personal record for my immediate area on missing those.

My bad. Gotcha. Yeah that's really disappointing. Everyone needs rain, much less a storm... it's been a sad summer.

Stronger storms are getting going in NW OH

Yep no storms for us. Can't wait for the cold front to come through and possibly keep the high to 89 tomorrow

Edit: never mind it's only 6pm. I don't know why it feels later than that.
