The National Weather Service in Wilmington OH has confirmed an EF0 tornado north of Versailles in Darke County, Ohio. This tornado occurred in the early morning hours of March 6, 2022. The first signs of damage with this tornado occurred near the intersection of OH-185 and Conover Road, with minor damage to a few trees and homes. The tornado moved ENE, causing more significant damage to a few properties on Versailles Yorkshire Road, just south of Burns Road. At one property, two large barns were leveled, and roof damage was observed to other structures. A home on the southeast corner of the Versailles Yorkshire Road and Burns Road intersection had a small amount of roofing material removed, with more extensive shingle damage, and a few trees uprooted. A car at this property was moved from its parked position, and a piece of plywood was embedded under the hood. Continuing to the ENE, two properties on the north side of Burns Road sustained damage, along with numerous trees downed in a small stand of hardwoods. There was quite a bit of roof damage to outbuildings at these properties, with some minor damage to more well-built structures. One home had a notable amount of mud splatter on a south-facing garage door. Eyewitness reports and photography indicate that debris from these locations traveled over a quarter mile across the open fields. Damage was also observed at a cluster of homes on Reed Road, just north of Burns Road. Most of the structural damage here was minor, primarily limited to fascia and siding. At least 20-30 trees in this area sustained damage, with some uprooted, and numerous large limbs snapped off. Debris from this cluster of properties was observed along a treeline across Reed Road to the east. Additional minor tree damage occurred on Cramer Road, and the last visible damage from this tornado occurred in a treeline south of Murphy Road along Swamp Creek, with a few large limbs downed. No damage was observed along OH-47. The National Weather Service would like to thank the Darke County EMA for their assistance with this 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. $$ HATZOS/CLARK

Last year, I posted an idea that there might be a tornado season that was influenced by La Nina. I don't know exactly what numbers and ideas I posted, but this year La Nina still is here, and the overall idea still applies. Perhaps the western drought could make higher tornado numbers less likely west of, for example, I-35 in Kansas and Oklahoma. Still, with the La Nina, I think we should be watching out for higher chances for tornadoes across the country, including the Ohio Valley. I know you guys will keep an eye on it. As a general statement, tell your families to sign up for wireless alerts or turn on weather radios this spring and summer.

Seems like surveying from 3/5 is done. 1 EF4, 1 EF3, 5 EF2, 3 tornadoes with >10 mile tracks, one with 69.5 miles.

Not-so-friendly reminder that significant tornado outbreaks can happen even with just a 10% non-hatched tornado risk.

SPC nailed the enhanced risk though

SPC mentions the potential for an enhanced risk for tornadoes, some possibly strong, tomorrow... also mentions the potential for an enhanced risk on Saturday... presumably for damaging winds.

Yes for Enhanced risk for Florida Tomorrow.

 

May be a Outbreak sequence to March 12th.

Based on 0z HRRR, storm mode in the current enhanced risk is messy. Big boom/bust potential. Shear is exceptional though, and a low-topped severe squall seems likely through S AL, GA, and the Carolinas. Could be an impressive swath of damaging wind reports. 
 

The messy storm mode in the area of the enhanced risk, ie north Florida, organizes a bit into either a squall with embedded supercells or a broken line of supercells. If I were to make an outlook based on this run alone, I’d have a slight risk for damaging winds from S AL through central GA… maybe enhanced. Slight risk for tornadoes where the current enhanced risk is, and an enhanced risk for tornadoes and damaging winds in the northern part of the Florida peninsula 

Then again, this is just one run and I’m not near the caliber of SPC

Little bit of rain in the vicinity of the enhanced risk. Won't matter because the event is, like, 14 hours away from starting. That area of training rain will lift north later this evening with the warm front.
