The radar

The Cleveland radar (KCLE), 114 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:00 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

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 Mar 23, 4:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 9 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 23, 4:50 PM EDT, 1 hour 9 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
450 PM EDT Wed Mar 23 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
An occluded front will sweep northeastward through our region
this evening as a low advances northeastward from the Upper
Mississippi Valley to Lake Huron. A surface trough should linger over
our region Thursday through this weekend as the low drifts
toward southern Quebec and is eventually absorbed by a separate
low in vicinity of New England and the Canadian Maritimes. A
cooler and off and on showery weather pattern will develop over
the Great Lakes region this weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
A spring time storm system is bringing the potential for
scattered strong to severe thunderstorms to the region this
afternoon into the evening hours. A surface low is moving
through the Midwest into the central Great Lakes region this
evening. A noticeable warm front front moved northward across
portions of the area this afternoon but has slowed down as it
neared northeast Ohio. This boundary was roughly located near
the Toledo area east-southeastward south of the CLE and YNG
metro areas. South of this front, temperatures have warmed into
the 60s to near 70. North of this front, the airmass is much
cooler and stable in the 40s and 50s. The time window for the
potential severe convection will be between 20z through about
00z this evening. The best thermodynamics for severe weather
will be south of this warm front and east of an approaching cold
front from the west. There is an abundant amount of BULK shear
and low level shear. The instability is modest at best with
CAPE values between 500 and 1000 J/KG. We will be dealing with a
high shear, low instability environment which usually brings
low top rotating convection. In fact, we might have too much
shear which is ripping apart weak updrafts. Damaging wind gusts
and large hail up to quarter size will be the main threats with
the strongest storms. Given the very high shear low level wind
fields, an isolated brief tornado or two will also be possible
south of the warm front.

The convection will quickly decrease and move east of the area
by mid evening after 00z. The brief milder, spring like airmass
this afternoon will quickly be pushed out with a cooler, drier
airmass behind a cold front sweep across the area from west to
east later this evening. An upper level trough will slow down
and as it moves across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley region on
Thursday. We will have considerable cloudiness under the trough
tomorrow and tomorrow night. We will bring back slight to chance
POPs for scattered light rain showers Thursday afternoon into
the evening. Temperatures will be seasonable in the lower to
middle 50s tomorrow.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A series of troughs/disturbances will pivot across the area through
the first half of the weekend, resulting in periodic showers across
the area (especially east of the I-71 corridor) through the short
term period. Temperatures may even be cool enough for snow to mix in
with rain showers Saturday morning, before potentially transitioning
to snow by late Saturday night. Not seeing significant snow
accumulation beyond a few tenths of an inch across the primary
snowbelt region, but will continue to monitor and adjust as needed.

Cooling temps are expected Friday through Saturday. Friday's highs
will be in the 40s to lower 50s and overnight lows will dip into the
low to mid 30s. Saturday's highs will only recover to the lower 40s
and overnight lows will be in the mid 20s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Troughing will shift eastward on Sunday as a ridge begins to build
east into the region. Although precipitation chances will
significantly decrease Sunday, lingering lake-enhanced snow showers
may persist through as late as Sunday night. A period of dry weather
is expected as the ridge takes control Monday, but PoPs will begin
to increase from southwest to northeast Tuesday as a warm front
lifts northeast across the CWA. Any precip may start off as snow
before transitioning to rain by mid to late morning Tuesday. The
highest PoPs will likely occur on Wednesday.

Chilly temps will persist through Monday night, with highs in the
30s (perhaps low 40s across NW OH Monday) and lows falling into the
teens and 20s both nights. Warming trend will begin on Tuesday and
expect highs in the 40s on Tuesday and 50s Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z Wednesday THROUGH Monday/...
The concerns for aviation weather for this TAF update is the
potential for scattered strong to isolated severe convection
impacting airports in northern Ohio this afternoon into the
evening hours. There is the potential for large hail and
damaging wind gusts up to 50 knots with the strongest
convection. The convection will decrease and move out of the
local area by 02z this evening. We have TEMPO groups
highlighting the time frame for potential TSRA and gusty
thunderstorm winds impacting airfield. Ceilings will be VFR to
MVFR this afternoon through this TAF period. Visibilities and
ceilings may lower briefly with any heavier showers or
convection this evening. Winds will be shifting this afternoon
and evening with a warm front moving northward across the region
and an area of low pressure moves across the Great Lakes. Winds
will generally be southeasterly 10 to 15 knots with some gusts
up to 25 knots into the evening. Winds will become south-
southwesterly tonight 10 to 15 knots tonight through Thursday
morning.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible with periods of rain this Thursday
night through the weekend. Rain may mix with or change to wet
snow at times this weekend.

&&

.MARINE...
Easterly to southeasterly winds 15 to 20 knots will become southerly
to southwesterly as a warm front lifts northeast across the lake.
Downslope flow from the higher terrain of NW PA will lead to
southeasterly winds of 25 to 30 knots in the nearshore zones from
Geneva-on-the-Lake to Ripley, NY through tonight, resulting in the
continuation of a Small Craft Advisory through 4 AM Thursday.

Southwesterly winds 10 to 16 knots continue through Thursday before
increasing to 15 to 20 knots Friday afternoon. Winds will shift to
the west/northwest by Saturday afternoon before increasing to 20 to
25 knots (likely resulting in the need of a Small Craft Advisory).
This flow will persist through the end of the weekend.
