Yeah the past several years have been dead overall maybe one to three ok setups a year. We used to get good setups all the time

Yeah, I'll admit we have definitely had a few setups that were pretty favorable, but either the cap was too strong or we lost diurnal heating and storms go kaput. This season I've had to be more aware of watering times for outdoor crops. As soon as June hit, I've either had to worry about dry soil, or wind damage. That one I will say. It's been a windier summer this far IMBY.

Crazy what some sampling will do to a model

Model trend loop for 15z tomorrow

Now I see the reasoning behind them extending marginal risk down to western Ohio for Day 2. If verified there'd be a couple of warnings based on winds alone.

Imagine being the pioneers of the 19th century exploring the Plains and seeing something like this. If I were in their shoes, I'd have a heart attack.

I'm just trying to solicit Aurora photos since I'm stuck on mids and I'm rewarded with this enhanced? 😂 Let's ride Minnesota! We're locked and loaded. 

 

Edit: I guess I should work on my AFD.

Sorry about that -- It looks like a potential CC drop for a frame or two but it may also be due to dust/debris getting into the storm's inflow.

  Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1250 AM CDT Sat Jul 23 2022

   Valid 231200Z - 241200Z

   ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   THE UPPER MIDWEST AND SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are expected today across parts of the Upper
   Midwest and southern Great Lakes. Damaging winds with gusts over 75
   miles per hour, a few tornadoes and large to very large hail will be
   possible with the more intense storms.

   ...Upper Midwest/Southern Great Lakes...
   An upper-level trough, currently evident in water vapor imagery over
   the northern Rockies, will move east-southeastward across the
   northern Plains today. At the surface, a low and an associated cold
   front will move southeastward from central South Dakota into the mid
   Missouri Valley. Ahead of the front, a moist airmass will be in
   place from the mid Missouri Valley eastward into the southern Great
   Lakes, with surface dewpoints in the upper 60s to mid 70s F. As the
   trough approaches the northern Plains this morning, scattered
   convective initiation should take place across the central Dakotas.
   Convective coverage is expected to expand as a cluster organizes
   into a line around midday. This line is forecast to move
   east-southeastward across southern Minnesota and northern Iowa by
   early afternoon, and then eastward across southern and central
   Wisconsin during the mid to late afternoon.

   RAP and NAM forecast soundings near the strongest instability in
   southern Wisconsin at 21Z have MLCAPE in the 4000 to 5000 J/kg
   range, with 0-6 km shear of 30 to 35 knots. Directional shear is
   evident at low levels with strong speed shear present at mid levels.
   The RAP has lapse rates near 8.0 C/km throughout the forecast
   sounding, suggesting that any line that can become organized will
   likely produce wind damage. The best potential for damaging winds,
   including gusts above 70 knots, is forecast from southeast Minnesota
   and northwest Iowa eastward across southern Wisconsin, near the axis
   of strongest instability. Supercells that develop within the linear
   MCS could also produce large hail, with hailstones greater than 2
   inches in diameter possible. A few tornadoes may also occur with bow
   echoes or rotating cells that form within the line.

   The linear MCS is forecast to continue to move east-southeastward
   into southern Lower Michigan by early evening. Although model
   forecasts have a greater spread concerning instability in southern
   Lower Michigan, it seems likely that moderate instability will be in
   place. This should enable the linear MCS to remain severe as it
   crosses southern Lower Michigan, where wind damage will be likely.

   ...Central Plains...
   A cold front is forecast to move southward into the central Plains
   by this afternoon. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints are
   forecast to be in the 60s F. This will contribute to narrow corridor
   of moderate instability just ahead of the front by afternoon.
   Thunderstorms that develop near the front during the afternoon will
   move southeastward across southern and eastern Nebraska. These
   storms should eventually affect parts of northern Kansas and far
   northern Missouri. The moderate instability, combined with 0-6 km
   shear near 30 knots and low-level lapse rates around 7.5 C/km,
   should be sufficient for isolated damaging wind gusts. Hail could
   also occur with the stronger cells.

DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK    
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0100 AM CDT SAT JUL 23 2022  
  
VALID 241200Z - 251200Z  
  
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF  
THE OHIO VALLEY AND NORTHEAST U.S....  
   
..SUMMARY  
  
SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY OVER THE OHIO VALLEY  
AND PORTIONS OF THE MID-MISSOURI VALLEY AND NORTHEAST U.S. DAMAGING  
WIND GUSTS AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE  
THREATS.  
   
..SYNOPSIS  
  
AN EXPANSIVE UPPER-LEVEL CYCLONE WILL MOVE EAST OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL  
CANADA SUNDAY AS AN UPPER-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS  
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/MID MS VALLEY.  A SURFACE COLD FRONT  
WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE OH VALLEY AND NORTHEAST  
U.S., WHILE THE WESTERN EXTENSION OF THE FRONT OVER KS BECOMES  
QUASI-STATIONARY.    
   
..OHIO VALLEY/NORTHEAST U.S  
  
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ONGOING ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF  
IL/IN SUNDAY MORNING AS REMNANTS OF SATURDAY'S MCS CONTINUE MOVING  
SOUTHEAST. DESPITE LINGERING CONCERNS ON DEGREE OF DESTABILIZATION  
IN THE WAKE OF THIS PRECIPITATION, DIURNAL HEATING OF WIDESPREAD MID  
60S-LOWER 70S SURFACE DEW POINTS SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO  
MODERATE/POCKETS OF STRONG MLCAPE SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF THE  
COLD FRONT, REINFORCED ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE SLIGHT RISK  
AREA BY RESIDUAL OUTFLOW.  EFFECTIVE SHEAR AVERAGING 35-50 KTS WILL  
BE IN PLACE AS THE AREA RESIDES ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF  
STRONGER MID-LEVEL FLOW. THIS WILL SUPPORT ORGANIZED STORMS  
INCLUDING MULTICELL CLUSTERS/LINE SEGMENTS AND PERHAPS A FEW  
SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND ISOLATED SEVERE HAIL  
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING.

Gotta love the uncertainty and unpredictability of it all. Watching trends and developments, knowing our local terrain and historical patterns, and seeing what all verifies compared to our own takes on each situation is part of the fun when it comes to geeking out about this stuff. 
 

I’m always talking weather with my wife when something is brewing (admittedly to her chagrin at times). I kind of had a “hey, how about that” moment the other day when there was severe weather in Ohio. She asked about the tornado threat, and I told her that I wouldn’t worry too much about it here, but if I were a betting man I’d be looking for something to happen toward the Mansfield-Ashland area. I’ll be damned…the first tornado warning of the event included both the cities of Mansfield and Ashland and the cell eventually produced a high-end (albeit short-lived) EF-1 just east of there. 
 

Just a cool personal prognostication moment (and thankfully nobody was hurt) where the blind squirrel found an acorn. Maybe I could end up being a betting man once in a while after all! 😁

Well… how about that?

710 AM EDT Sat Jul 23 2022

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Northern Indiana Northwestern to central Ohio Lake Erie * Effective this Saturday morning and afternoon from 710 AM until 200 PM EDT.

* Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible

SUMMARY...An increasingly organized complex of severe thunderstorms will move into a destabilizing air mass across parts of northern Indiana and Ohio the remainder of this morning into early afternoon, offering mainly damaging/severe gusts. Isolated large hail is possible, and a line-embedded tornado cannot be ruled out.
