Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Meteorologist Share Posted August 3, 2022 Widespread favorable parameters for strong tornadoes but thankfully storms are scarce. That said, the supercell on the MN/WI border needs watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know if anything would pop in the warm sector today. My forecast point for the severe weather game is kind of close to this cell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Meteorologist Share Posted August 3, 2022 Possible tornado here. Looking almost a mile above ground and through some convection so there's validity questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 hmm, just as the tornado warning was cancelled. Perhaps temporarily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking almost a mile above ground and through some convection so there's validity questions. Never mind. Given the radar site is to the north, this is anticyclonic "rotation" and therefore not tornadic in this case.

Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Meteorologist Share Posted August 3, 2022 The marginal risk MCS is approaching the slight risk MCS from the west. Gotta love the weird storm motions in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Here are the current plotted dew points (not temperatures) of Mesonet stations (Mesowest web site). I don't specifically ever remember KTOL being above a 76 dew point at any time in history. KTOL only has 73, but hey there are some values over 76 degrees here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 St Louis now has 80 degrees with thunderstorms nearby, whereas they had a 97/74/109 a bit earlier (only 48% humidity... and people say "it's 90 degrees with 90% humidity." But that just isn't right.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't help the public because that makes humidity super misleading. Normalize dew point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there's been lightning less than 30 miles from Columbus. I know public stadiums and other public areas at high risk of lightning impacts (stadiums, water parks, etc) have a radius at which they shut everything down if lightning is detected anywhere within that range.

Chinook Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) This brings back a lot of memories. There was lots of CAPE in northwest Ohio, and I personally didn't see very much rain or hear noticeable thunder. The MCS was active with a several severe thunderstorm areas in Michigan and at Chicago in the afternoon. Toledo Express had exactly 58mph wind gusts, so that's a severe report.

snowlover2 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 That rain around 3pm was just insane. Had to be 4" per hour at least. Only problem is after it stopped it made the humidity feel so much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
