What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jun 28, 3:30 PM EDT	HAIL 0.88	1 N Sebring, OH

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Pittsburgh, PA (KPIT), launched 12:00Z, 7.3 hours before the alert went out and 91 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 2:45 PM EDT, 33 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OHIO
245 PM EDT TUE JUN 28 2005

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THRU THU )...

CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL OHIO IS BECOMING MORE INTENSE ATTM AS WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS SOME MID LEVEL DRYING MOVING NORTHWARD. VISIBLE
IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE LAKE BREEZE HAS WORKED INLAND OVER NE OHIO
AND NW PA. RECENT RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS CAPE NEAR 2500 J/KG OVER
CENTRAL OHIO WITH LESSER AMOUNTS DOWN TO 1000 J/KG NEAR LAKE ERIE.
O-6 KM SHEAR IS 10 TO 20 KNTS. WITH DRY AIR AT MID LEVELS AND LOW
SHEAR, EXPECT PULSE TYPE STORMS TO CONTINUE WITH THE POSSIBLITY OF
WET DOWNBURSTS. STORM MOVEMENT IS SLOW SO SOME LOCATIONS WILL
RECEIVE HEAVY RAIN WITH SOME FLOOD POTENTIAL. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
LIKELY DIMINISH NEAR SUNSET SO WILL LOWER POPS FROM THE MAV GUIDANCE
TO CHANCE WITH THE LEAST POPS NEAR LAKE ERIE. THE SHORT WAVE THAT IS
HELPING TO PRODUCE THIS ACTIVITY IS LOCATED OVER CENTRAL OHIO AND
WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHEAST TNGT. SCT TSTM/RW ARE STILL POSSIBLE WED
WITH A DIMINISHED CHANCE WED NGT. THURSDAY LOOKS MORE FAVORABLE AS A
COLD FRONT BEGINS TO APPROACH THE REGION WITH INCREASED DEEP SHEAR
AND CAPE WITH SOME UVM. MAV POPS ON THU APPEAR TO BE QUITE LOW ATTM
AND WILL DISCOUNT THEM FOR KNOW.

&&

.LONG TERM (FRI THRU TUESDAY)...

LITTLE CHANGE IN THINKING FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD FROM YESTERDAY.
ONCE THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY EVENING A
FAIR AND LESS HUMID AIR MASS WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THE CHANCE FOR PCPN WILL RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT
APPEARS LIMITED ATTM AS RIDGING DEVELOPS OVER THE EAST.

&&

.AVIATION  (18Z-18Z)...
WK SHORT WAVE TO MOVE ACRS THE OHIO VALLEY THIS AFTN AND EVENING.
WITH THE AMPLE MOISTURE CONTENT AVAILABLE AND SOME INSTABILITY THE
COMBINATION OF THESE 3 FACTORS SHOULD AID IN THE PRODUCTION OF SOME
AFTN TSTM ACTIVITY. WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THE TSTMS OVR NITE...BUT
MVFR VSBYS WL CONTINUE. LOOK FOR MORE TSTM DEVELOPMENT ON WEDNESDAY
AS THE MIDWEST COLD FRONT BECOMES BETTER ORGANIZED AND INCHES CLOSER
TO OHIO.
