Did it verify

Verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow matched 9 storm reports to this severe thunderstorm warning; the first came 9 minutes after it went out.

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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Cleveland, OH wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Nov 15, 10:09 AM EST, 2 hours 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 15, 10:09 AM EST, 2 hours 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
1009 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will move across the region today as
deepening low pressure moves from the upper Great Lakes to
western Quebec tonight. High pressure will briefly build across
the area from the south Monday before a trough moves across the
Great Lakes Monday night through Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Deepening low pressure over Lake Superior will drift northeastward
through the day. A strong cold front, as of 15Z located along
the I-69 corridor in eastern Indiana, will race across the
region through the day.

Focus on the next few hours is a line of convection that is
strengthening ahead of the cold front, moving into northwest OH
as of now. Could see some stronger gusts with the convection, as
highlighted by the recent SPC mesoscale discussion and Day 1
severe weather outlook upgrade to a marginal risk. The
significant gradient and the pressure rises in the wake of the
front should allow for some very strong winds to move across the
region. Believe the corridor of strongest winds will be across
the western CWA, mainly near and west of a line from Sandusky to
Mansfield to Mount Gilead and then along the immediate
lakeshore. This region has been upgraded to a high wind warning
with gusts approaching 60 mph. Elsewhere the wind advisory
continues with gusts of 50 to 55 mph possible. Temperatures have
surged a bit more than anticipated ahead of the front so we
have nudged highs up. Highs should be in the mid to upper 50's.
However a few locations across the south and in the better
downsloping areas may see 60 degrees. After late morning highs
temperatures should begin to fall.

Any remaining showers should dissipate with the setting sun
across much of the region. Winds will remain breezy to windy
through the night but the large gusts should end by late
evening. Attention then shifts to some lake effect showers.
Fortunately most of this activity will be over the lake into
western NY. However we will need to monitor closely from Lake
County to Erie County, PA. As temperatures cool overnight we
could see some of the showers mix with or change over to snow.
Any accumulations would likely be along the ridge over NW PA
from near Edinboro to Findley lake, NY. Amounts of a dusting to
maybe an inch will be possible. Lows tonight in the 30's.

High pressure will attempt to ridge northward across Ohio from
the south on Monday. Expect there will be some lake effect
showers over NW PA that could wobble back into NE OH as winds
veer slightly. This activity is expected to dissipate ahead of
the next trough that may impact the region before sunset on
Monday. So expect all locations away from the lake influence to
be dry with sunshine on Monday. Highs will range from the upper
30s across inland NW PA to the upper 40's across NW OH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Broad upper level trough will persist across the eastern portions of
the United States as upper level ridge builds over the central
Plains states through Wednesday. The amplification of the ridge will
cause deepening of the trough as it reaches the eastern seaboard
Tuesday night into Wednesday. Eventually by Wednesday night the
upper level ridge pushes east forcing the trough off the coast
resulting in nearly zonal flow across the country by Thursday
morning.

The upper level trough will result in a post-frontal surface trough
that will move southeast across the area Monday night. A swath of
moisture associated with the surface trough will move southeast
along the trough axis and extend mostly across northeast Ohio and
northwest Pennsylvania. This will help to enhance any lake effect
precipitation expected. Fairly strong cold air advection will take
place through Tuesday night resulting in widespread surface
temperatures dropping into the middle and upper 20s. Warmest
temperatures will obviously be along the lakeshore due to the
onshore flow off the lake.  Warm influence of the lake should cause
a mix of rain/snow along the lakeshore and mainly snow inland
Tuesday night.  There is the possibility for some accumulating snow
with an inch or two most areas in the northeast and locally higher
amounts in the higher elevations Tuesday night. Lake effect will
begin to wane slowly Wednesday through Wednesday night as high
pressure ridge begins to build east into the region.

The advancing high pressure ridge after the passage of the cold
front and surface trough will bring a return back to fair weather
across much of the of the forecast area.  Depending on exact
trajectory of the winds, there could be a few brief sprinkles or
snow flurries (graupel) that could develop over Toledo and Findlay
as lake effect develops off Lake Michigan in northwest flow.
Otherwise, cold air advection will drop temperatures into the lower
to middle 30s Monday night, upper 30s to lower 40s Tuesday, and
middle 30s to lower and middle 40s Wednesday. Some warming will take
place as the high shifts slightly east Wednesday night with lows in
the middle 30s west to lower and middle 20s east.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Overall upper level pattern is beginning to shift to a more zonal
flow pattern across the lower 48 states.  Fast moving shortwave
troughs will move through the mean flow during this forecast period.
Surface high is progged to shift off the East Coast and continue to
produce some warm air advection into the local area. This will
result in a fairly dry pattern as much of the moisture associated
with the shortwaves remain north of the forecast area. Exception is
Thursday night where the trailing end of the moisture field may
slide east into the region and bring a bit of precipitation. A weak
cold front will also approach the area as well during the latter
periods but is expected to be mostly dry. Since moisture is limited,
will keep forecast dry for now. A warming trend is expected to
develop through this period on the west side of the high pressure
center.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z Sunday THROUGH Thursday/...
VFR conditions will continue until the cold front gets closer
to the region. A line of convection will move across the region
from west to east early this morning along a pre frontal trough
and could develop along the cold front that will race eastward
across the region from mid morning through mid afternoon. MVFR/IFR
conditions will be possible with each line of convective showers.
Otherwise believe there will only be patchy MVFR across the
region. In the wake of the cold front the MVFR ceilings will be
with the lake effect cloud cover that will mainly impact extreme
NE OH into NW PA, likely closer to the lake.

Winds will be the main story of the day. Expect a southerly
direction this morning becoming southwest to west with the cold
front passage. Low level jet moves into the region this morning
with LLWS likely across the eastern TAF sites where surface wind
speeds are a little slower increasing. Stronger winds will mix
to the surface near and in the wake of the cold front. Gusts to
50 knots will be possible across NW OH and along the lakeshore.
Elsewhere 40 to 45 knot gusts will be common.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible from lake-effect showers and clouds
Sunday night through Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will be increasing dramatically through the day today as a
strong cold front moves east across the lake this morning into this
afternoon. Upper level winds are expected to mix down to the surface
and produce some strong gusty winds on the lake.  Strong enough to
support a minimal storm warning criteria event for later this
afternoon into the evening hours over the eastern half of the lake.
The rest of the lake will see gale force winds today into tonight.
Winds will diminish late tonight into Monday. A gradual decline in
the winds and subsiding waves will take place through Thursday as
high pressure builds east across the Ohio Valley extending a ridge
north over the lake.
