They added this little bump back into Indiana today. I was at the western tip of it today around two pm, it was pouring  here at the office when I took my lunch and it was dry as a bone just a few blocks to the west as I ran a couple miles home to eat.  So close!

Crazy strong trough for July is about to kick off 3-days of severe weather before another ring of fire kicks off. Will make a new thread for the next ring of fire.

Parameters are about what you'd expect from a situation like this. Busy evening/overnight ahead.

...EF0 TORNADO CONFIRMED IN PICKAWAY AND FAIRFIELD COUNTY OHIO...

Start Location...2 SSE Logan Elm Village in Pickaway County OH
End Location...3 S Stoutsville in Fairfield County OH
Date...07/17/2022
Start Time...04:05 PM EDT 
End Time...04:22 PM EDT 
Maximum EF-Scale Rating...EF0 
Estimated Maximum Wind Speed...85 mph 
Maximum Path Width...100 yards 
Path Length...6.0 miles 
Beginning Lat/Lon...39.545 / -82.9335 
Ending Lat/Lon...39.5679 / -82.8257
* Fatalities...0
* Injuries...3

...Summary...
In coordination with the Pickaway and Fairfield County Emergency
Management Agencies, a National Weather Service storm survey was
conducted in areas southeast of Circleville and Logan Elm Village
in Pickaway County on July 18th, in relation to thunderstorms
which impacted the area on July 17th. 

The first sign of damage was located on three separate properties
on the west side of Kingston Pike where an RV was flipped on its
side and a neighboring house had roof covering damage. Another
property received minor structure damage. One injury was reported
within the RV. The tornado continued east-northeast, causing 
tree and minor structure damage to properties along Gay-Dreisbach 
Road and Ludwig-Dresback Road. The max width of the tornado was 
likely on Ludwig-Dresback Road due to the tree damage observed.
Beyond this damage, accessibility became more challenging and the
distance between damage points increased. The tornado may have 
lifted several times throughout the remainder of the track as the 
tornado became less organized.

It is unknown if any damage occurred between Morris Salem Road 
and State Route 56 East. On the north side of State Route 56 East,
a single property received minor tree and structure damage, with 
the worst damage associated with a new outbuilding that collapsed.
Two more injuries were reported within this structure. After 
crossing more agricultural fields, damage was observed at the 
Logan Elm School property on Tarlton Road. Several buildings 
received minor damage along with damage to various portions of the
sports complex. Security camera footage provided by Logan Elm 
Schools helped confirm that a circulation was still evident.

North of Tarlton Road and into Fairfield County, damage to trees became
much weaker and sporadic. As a result, the tornadic circulation 
likely lifted near Dozer Road and Valentine Road Southwest. 
Additional tree damage to the northeast along 16th Road Southwest was
considered straight-line winds. 

The National Weather Service would like to thank the Pickaway and
Fairfield County Emergency Management Agencies, and the Logan Elm
School District Officials for their support and assistance in the
survey. 

EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the
following categories:

EF0...Weak......65 to 85 mph
EF1...Weak......86 to 110 mph
EF2...Strong....111 to 135 mph
EF3...Strong....136 to 165 mph
EF4...Violent...166 to 200 mph
EF5...Violent...>200 mph

* The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to
change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS
Storm Data.

Indy for Wednesday 

 

Long Term...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 311 PM EDT Mon Jul 18 2022 Wednesday through Thursday night... The long term will begin with an upper trough moving across the great lakes region. An attendant occluding surface low is likely to be located near Lake Superior with a trailing surface cold front moving through the CWA Wednesday. Strong SW flow ahead of the front with mostly sunny skies should create a very unstable atmosphere by early afternoon. Forecast soundings show, moderate to strong instability, effective bulk shear of 30-40kts, and dewpoints well into the 70s. While the best forcing remains north and east of the region closer to the surface low, modest forcing this far south along the front may be sufficient for isolated to scattered thunderstorm development. With all this in mind, few storms could be severe with damaging wind gusts and large hail being the primary threats. Confidence remains relatively low regarding storm coverage in Indiana as forcing is weak, so will be watching this closely over the next few days for severe weather potential.

Maybe just MAYBE Toledo can cash in on the upcoming pattern. Looks to favor more lower OV, but ya never know. 

Just going to be sultry with the humidity this week. 

To me, this looks more favorable than the early July RoF.

Can't really get more favorable directional shear than North Dakota right now. Easterly surface winds, westerly upper-level winds. 40-60 knots 0-6km shear.

Still results in a mostly straight hodograph given the lack of low-level winds.

Latest thoughts from ILN for tomorrow.

Quote
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A fairly strong surface low for mid July will move across the Great
Lakes on Wednesday along with an upper level shortwave and weak cold
front diving south into the Ohio Valley. Despite the low and primary
upper wave remaining well north of the Ohio Valley, weather impacts
will still be felt across the area Wednesday afternoon and evening
ahead of the front.

In terms of high probability of occurrence, strengthening southerly
flow ahead of the cold front will increase low level moisture
through the day. Dew points reaching into the lower/middle 70s
combined with actual temperatures near 90 make for heat indices
approaching 100. A Heat Advisory has been issued across the Tri
State and surroundings Wednesday afternoon/evening where the heat
index is expected to peak over 100.

Aside from the heat and humidity (which will occur), showers and
storms may form ahead of the weak cold front Wednesday afternoon and
evening. The main forecast challenge is in regards storm coverage
and probability of occurrence. While CAMs have been inconsistent and
not too robust with storm coverage, the environment ahead of the
front and upper trough will likely be very unstable (MLCAPE 2000+
J/kg) with lots of shear (bulk shear 25 knots +) and a fairly weak
cap. Due to the favorable storm environment and conditional threat
for strong, organized storms, SPC has a slight risk highlighted over
a good portion of the area with the best chances for storms north of
I-70 Wednesday evening. The main threats will be for strong winds
and some hail although a tornado risk may exist due to veered low
level wind fields.

The weak front pushes east Wednesday night bringing an end to shower
and storms chances late overnight. Forecast lows are in the upper
60s to lower 70s.

INDY

Short Term...(This evening through Wednesday night) Issued at 312 PM EDT Tue Jul 19 2022 *Heat Index Values 100-110F expected Wednesday. *Isolated Strong to Severe Thunderstorms possible Wednesday afternoon. Tonight...Diurnal cu will dissipate with loss of daytime heating allowing for skies to become mostly clear later tonight. Will see some decent radiational cooling initially, but then warm advection will ramp up late overnight as flow increases from the southwest. This will keep low temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s, and should bring an increase in cloud cover, at least some cirrus, before daybreak. Wednesday/Wednesday night...Two main weather hazards to discuss for Wednesday--heat and chances for severe storms. High pressure will continue moving off to the southeast as a cold front approaches from the northwest along with an upper vort max moving through the Great Lakes and attendant upper trough stretching back through the Midwest. The strengthening pressure gradient will increase the southwesterly winds across central Indiana and warm advection will bring 850 mb temperatures into the 20 to 24 C range. These strong winds will also bring a stream of higher dewpoints and humidity into the area as well, and this combination of heat and humidity will bring heat index values into the 100 to 110 degree range across the area during the afternoon and early evening hours. The highest values are expected across the southern counties (105 to 110) and thus will issue a heat advisory for that area. North of there, will issue an SPS to highlight the heat potential which is only a little lower than the south. The humidity and high temperature mentioned above will create ample instability across the area before the arrival of the cold front. There are still some differences in model timing of the frontal passage, as well as when convection can be expected to fire. The better upper forcing appears to be north of the area, but with the available instability not as much forcing should be necessary. The surface front appears fairly weak, but should be able to induce sufficient convergence for convection somewhere between central and eastern portions of Indiana. Shear is questionable and highly dependent on timing of the frontal passage and if some backing can be induced in the surface wind fields. Think best potential will be in the 20 to 23z timeframe across the easternmost counties. With the available moisture, rain could be heavy, but with the front expected to move and not stall should not be a big flood threat, with the main threat being damaging winds. The convection should move east of the area early in the Wednesday night period and clouds should scatter out in the wake of the front. Cold advection behind the front will be relatively weak so lows should remain in the middle to upper 60s.

Idk where to put this so mods can move it if they want. Oklahoma is melting right now. Every station is reporting 100° or above. 

 

Locally it's just muggy. 87 with a DP of 68. It's been worse, but being in the sun for more than 10-15 mins. is uncomfortable . Wednesday night we have a 40% of storms. Nothing the mets are too concerned with at this point. FB_IMG_1658267189835.jpg

On the same day that the UK broke their all-time high temp. A little more than 104 degrees. Their average high is somewhere around 68. I would ask 'what the hell is going on?' but it's not a mystery.
