The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

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, 10.4 hours before the alert went out and 151 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
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
405 PM EDT SAT OCT 28 2006

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
FORECAST ON TRACK...SOME OF THE STRONGEST WINDS SO FAR ARE BECAUSE
OF CONVECTION AND LOCATIONS ALONG THE LAKESHORE. ADDED A FEW
LAKESHORE COUNTIES TO HIGH WIND WARNING. OTHERWISE THE WIND ADVISORY
LOOKS GOOD AS THE MOST COLD ADVECTION IS GOING ON NOW. CONDITIONS
SHOULD DRY OUT WEST OF THE LAKE EFFECT AREAS LATER THIS EVENING WITH
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. PLENTY OF DRY AIR COMES IN QUICKLY TONIGHT LAKE
EFFECT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD NOT GET TO WARNING STATUS. THE LOWER
AIRITME OVER THE WATER IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. GUIDANCE
TEMPERATURES OK. LOCATIONS ALONG THE LAKESHORE MAY HAVE A TOUGH TIME
SWITCHING TO SNOW. WITH THE WESTERLY FLOW MOST AREAS WILL JUST HAVE
SOME CLOUDS SUNDAY WITH SOME WEAK LAKE EFFECT CONTINUING EAST OF
CLEVELAND. RIDGE BUILDS IN FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT WITH WARMING
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.LONG TERM (TUE THRU SAT)...
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH TUESDAY AND TUESDAY EVENING. GFS/DIGEX AND
ECMWF ARE IN AGREEMENT. TEMPERATURES STAY WARM ENOUGH THAT IT WILL
ALL BE RAIN. THE MOISTURE IS A LITTLE HIGHER THIS MODEL RUN...40 TO
50 POPS WILL BE USED. THE MOISTURE HANGS AROUND INTO WEDNESDAY.
CONFIDENCE IN THAT IS LOWER...WILL GO WITH A 30 POP. AIRMASS IS
FAIRLY STABLE...LIFTED INDEX AROUND 2 AND TOTAL TOTALS LESS THAN 50.
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND THEN
THE DIGEX TRIES TO BRING A TROF IN FROM THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY
WHILE THE GFS TRIES TO KEEP THE RIDGE IN PLACE. AT THIS TIME WILL
KEEP IT DRY. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES SEEM TO LINE UP WITH LOCAL
SCHEMES.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z-18Z)...
THE LOW PRES IS NOW OVER ONTARIO AND HAS STRENGTHENED TO 982MB.
TIGHT PRES GRADIENT WILL CAUSE VERY GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE
REGION THRU THIS EVENING (INTO THE OVERNIGHT AT ERI) WITH SOME GUSTS
TO 40KT POSSIBLE. OTHERWISE...THE COLD POOL ALOFT (500MB TEMPS
AROUND -32C) HAS CAUSED SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH SMALL HAIL/SLEET AT
CLE AND MFD. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT CAK/YNG/ERI WILL HAVE SOME SMALL
HAIL IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. OTHERWISE...DRY AIR ADVECTION
SHOULD ALLOW CIGS TO RISE TO VFR THIS AFTN WEST AND THIS
