Spent the morning out fishing in the kayak at Hoover, just north of Columbus.  Kept a watch on the radar and storms finally arrived around 1130.  Not much lightning, but decent gusts out in front of the line.  We got to the ramp just before the wind.

Impressive kinda-surprise MCS for the OV. There were certainly signs that there'd be a morning MCS that could be strong but it'd dissipate around central Ohio. Shoulda figured it would keep going.

Worth reminding that the WFOs in Minnesota/Wisconsin are setting aside the updates on storm reports to focus on warnings. Same thing happened with the morning MCS.

Great demonstration of why speed shear (increasing winds with height) is so important to sustaining thunderstorms, especially supercells. In this case, you can clearly see the updraft (below and inside the exploding clouds) and the rain associated with the downdraft. Supercells and healthy MCSs are able to separate the updraft from the downdraft, allowing them to be sustained for a long time. Pulse/pop-up storms don't have enough shear to separate the updraft from the downdraft, so they don't last long because the downdraft crushes the updraft.
