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 Jun 14, 2:06 PM EDT, 8 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- 1) Showers and thunderstorms, some strong to severe, will continue to move east and exit the area by around 7 PM. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph are the greatest concern. 2) A stronger low pressure system will develop and move east through the Great Lakes Wednesday night into Thursday. Some stronger storms and gusty winds are possible. 3) A compact system will move east through the Central Great Lakes Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing showers and thunderstorms into the area.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 2:06 PM EDT, 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cleveland OH 206 PM EDT Sun Jun 14 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... No significant changes to the previous forecast. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Showers and thunderstorms, some strong to severe, will continue to move east and exit the area by around 7 PM. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph are the greatest concern. 2) A stronger low pressure system will develop and move east through the Great Lakes Wednesday night into Thursday. Some stronger storms and gusty winds are possible. 3) A compact system will move east through the Central Great Lakes Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing showers and thunderstorms into the area. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1... Currently tracking the evolution of strong to severe storms across the area this afternoon, with perhaps the most potent storms still located just north of the area over Lake Erie. Believe this specific storm cluster, located generally north of Lorain/Cuyahoga counties over Lake Erie, will be the most capable of producing 70+ mph winds over the next couple of hours as it eventually enters portions of Lake, Ashtabula, and the Northwest Pennsylvania counties. MLCAPE values continue to hover around 1000 J/kg, though the synoptic wind field still remains favorable for organized thunderstorms, particularly across far Northeast Ohio into Northwest Pennsylvania where 700 mb flow is nearing 40 to 45 knots ahead of the advancing cold front. Damaging wind gusts still appear to be the primary hazard with any stronger storms, though a brief embedded spin-up or two remain possible as well, particularly closer to the OH/PA border. A quite chilly air mass will arrive behind the front tonight into Monday morning, with 850 mb temperatures falling to around 4 degrees C. A lingering trough behind the front combined with the chilly air mass may result in some scattered lake-enhanced rain showers across portions of Northern Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania into Monday morning. Can't rule out some spots across Northwest Pennsylvania struggling to reach the 60-degree mark on Monday. KEY MESSAGE 2... Continuing to monitor the potential for a highly-anomalous low pressure system to develop and move east through the Great Lakes late Wednesday into Thursday. Model guidance is beginning to come into agreement for mid to upper-level trough placement and strength, though specific surface features still remain uncertain. Low-level moisture is forecast to quickly increase ahead of the advancing surface low Wednesday night, with dew points climbing into the 60s. At this time, it appears the most favorable CAPE/shear overlap (reflected by ENS probs of MUCAPE > 1000 J/jg) and the highest potential for severe weather Wednesday night into Thursday will reside just to the south and southwest of the area, though lowering this threshold to 500 J/kg does yield some concern further north into our area. Will continue to monitor trends for this potentially significant system. In addition to the threat of strong to severe storms, we may also have to contend with the strong associated wind field of this system, with probs increasing (30 to 50%) for wind gusts to exceed 45 mph, especially Thursday afternoon. .KEY MESSAGE 3... A compact shortwave will move east through the Central Great Lakes late Tuesday into Wednesday, resulting in showers and thunderstorms moving east into the area Tuesday evening and overnight. At this time, the greatest risk for any stronger storms appears to be just west of the I-75 corridor, with wind gusts being the primary concern, though will continue to monitor trends for any impacts to our area. && .AVIATION /18Z Sunday THROUGH Friday/... At 17:20Z/Sun, a surface cold front had just swept SE'ward across KTOL. This front will continue moving SE'ward and should exit the rest of our region by 22Z/Sun. Behind the front, a surface high pressure ridge builds from the northern Great Plains and vicinity through 18Z/Mon. Ahead of the front, our regional surface winds trend SW'erly around 10 to 15 knots and will gust up to 20 to 25 knots at times. Behind the front, winds veer to W'erly to NW'erly around 10 to 15 knots and will gust up to 20 knots at times, especially prior to 00Z/Mon. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected ahead of the surface front, while a line of showers and thunderstorms will accompany the surface cold front. Brief MVFR to LIFR and torrential rainfall will accompany these showers and storms. These showers and especially storms will likely produce brief/erratic surface wind gusts up to 30 to 55 knots. Some of these storms may produce hail up to half dollar-size. Behind the surface cold front, widespread MVFR to perhaps IFR ceilings and periods of steady to heavy rain with VFR to MVFR visibility, associated with the upper-reaches of the cold front, are expected to persist for several hours before exiting generally E'ward. Isolated thunderstorms may be embedded in this widespread rain. Once the widespread rain exits our region, primarily dry weather and VFR are expected through 18Z/Mon. However, scattered to broken lake-effect stratocumuli with bases near 2.5kft to 4kft AGL are expected to stream generally SE'ward from Lake Erie through about mid-morning on Mon. These stratocumuli should produce light to occasionally moderate rain showers through ~13Z/Mon and cause visibility to vary between VFR and MVFR. Outlook...Periodic showers and thunderstorms with non-VFR are forecast Tuesday afternoon through this Friday. && .MARINE... Southwest winds to 10 to 15 knots will continue through early this morning. A cold front will move east across the lake today and winds may very briefly increase to around 20 knots in the far western basin immediately behind the cold front this afternoon, although the strongest winds will likely occur in convection this afternoon. There will also be a very brief period of winds right around 20 knots near and east of the Islands later this evening. Small Craft Advisory-level winds may briefly occur during this time, but would like to see how wind observations and model guidance trend before issuing any headlines. If an advisory is issued, it'd be pretty short- fused. Relatively light winds with periods of winds to 10 to 15 knots are expected through early week. Hazardous marine conditions are expected as a potent low pressure system moves east across the Great Lakes late Wednesday into Thursday. South/southwest winds will increase to 25 to 30 knots by early Thursday morning with locations in the open waters possibly approaching gale force at times through Thursday afternoon as winds become more westerly. Confidence in Small Craft Advisories and Beach Hazards Statements is high, but may need to consider gale headlines and a Low Water Advisory as the event draws closer. && .CLE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
