What happened

The episode as NWS CLE wrote it up.

A stationary front was located across northern Ohio on April 10th with temperatures ranging from 50 degrees near Lake Erie to near 80 degrees in Central Ohio. Severe thunderstorms developed during the late afternoon and early evening as a mid-level jet streak interacted with moderately unstable conditions in place south of the front. Reports of wind damage extended from Wyandot County in Northwest Ohio to Trumbull County in Northeast Ohio with numerous reports of downed trees limbs and power lines. One of the more noteworthy reports came from Upper Sandusky in Wyandot County where four semi-trucks were blown over. Several buildings also sustained minor damage to roofs and windows in Crawford, Richland, Summit, Portage, and Stark Counties. The peak wind measured during the storms was 64 mph measured at an AWOS sensor at the Portage County Airport in Ravenna. One building collapsed with three others sustaining damage at the Portage County Aiport grounds. In Stark County, a dugout at Marlington High School was also destroyed by the wind. Farther to the south, a swath of quarter to half dollar size hail and heavy rain extended from near Marion to Canton.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 8:28 AM EST, 1 hour 27 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
928 AM EDT WED APR 10 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL OSCILLATE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND
TONIGHT. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
LATE THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN LAKE ERIE CAN REALLY CAUSE HAVOC WITH
THE TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. A STATIONARY FRONT
CONTINUES TO WAFFLE BACK AND FORTH OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND I
ANTICIPATE THAT IT WILL SLIP NORTH TO THE LAKE SHORE THIS MORNING.
THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE WARMER TEMPERATURES SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY TO
MAKE IT AS FAR NORTH AS CLEVELAND BUT STRUGGLE TO HELP WARM
THINGS UP IN THE NORTHEAST AND WESTERN LAKE SHORE AREAS. LOW
PRESSURE WILL HELP TO PUSH THE FRONT SLIGHTLY NORTH AS THE LOW
MOVES INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF
THE 40S AT ERIE BUT PEAK OUT IN THE UPPER 70S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA.

A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN OHIO AT
THIS TIME AND SHOULD GRADUALLY FILL IN OVER TIME. THIS ACTIVITY
APPEARS TO BE DEVELOPING ON THE NOSE OF THE 850 MB JET STREAM AND
IS BEING ENHANCED BY A LOBE OF VORTICITY MAXIMUM MOVING EAST
THROUGH THAT REGION TOWARD MICHIGAN. EVEN STRONGER ACTIVITY THAT
HAS SOME BOWING CHARACTERISTICS CONTINUES TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN
INDIANA AT THIS TIME. WE WILL BE WATCHING ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY
THROUGH THE DAY FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL AS THE FORECAST AREA REMAINS
IN A SLIGHT RISK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
ANOTHER WAVE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ALONG THE
BOUNDARY OVERNIGHT...BUT MODELS NOT IN GOOD AGREEMENT EXACTLY WHERE
THE BOUNDARY WILL SET UP OVERNIGHT. MODELS ARE IN REASONABLE
AGREEMENT MOVING STRONG LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY ACROSS THE AREA LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. EXPECT
WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.

SEE THE HYDRO DISCUSSION FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE FLOODING THREAT.

MUCH COLDER AIR RETURNS TO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. THE 850MB
TEMPS DIP TO MINUS 8C BY SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE SURFACE HIGH SHOULD BUILD IN BY SATURDAY NIGHT WITH RIDGING ON
SUNDAY. TEMPS SHOULD RECOVER TO NEAR NORMAL ON SUNDAY.

THE PATTERN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK HINTS AT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS
WEEK...WITH LOW PRESSURE EVENTUALLY COMING OUT OF THE PLAINS STATES
AND A BOUNDARY DEVELOPING ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. IT LOOKS
LIKE WE SHOULD GET INTO THE WARM SECTOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE 60S. THE GFS BRINGS A WAVE FROM THE
WEST QUICKLY ON MONDAY WHILE THE ECMWF IS SLOWER. WILL COMPROMISE
WITH THE TIMING AND STAY NEAR CONTINUITY WITH A SLOWLY INCREASING
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND EVENTUALLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FRONT WILL REMAIN WITHIN A COUNTY OR TWO OF THE SOUTH SHORE OF
LAKE ERIE WITH MVFR AND IFR CEILINGS NORTH OF THE FRONT. ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL SPREAD IN FROM THE WEST BY THIS
AFTERNOON...ESSENTIALLY DEVELOPING INTO A WEAK WAVE ON THE FRONT
AND PUSHING IT FARTHER SOUTH WITH A WIND SHIFT AT INLAND SITES.
CEILINGS WILL DROP TO IFR AT ALL TAF SITES BY LATE AFTERNOON OR
EARLY EVENING. RAIN AND SHOWERS WILL LIKELY PERSIST TONIGHT
ACROSS EXTREME NORTHERN OHIO...LAKE ERIE AND NORTHWEST
PENNSYLVANIA. THUNDER COULD OCCUR AT JUST ABOUT ANYTIME TODAY AND
TONIGHT BUT TRIED TO FORECAST IT IN THE TAF ONLY AT THE TIME IT IS
MOST LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON.

.OUTLOOK...NON-VFR CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
THE NORTHEAST WIND IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED ON THE LAKE. THE GRADIENT
WILL COME AND GO TODAY AS EACH BATCH OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
PASSES BY WHICH COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND WAVES. THE
MAIN CONCERN IS MORE FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE NORTHEAST
GRADIENT TIGHTENS AS LOW PRESSURE FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TRACKS
EAST. WILL POST THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY STARTING AT 4 PM TO GIVE
SOME CUSHION SINCE THERE WILL MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVING
ACROSS THE LAKE BY LATE AFTERNOON. NOT SURE WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO
TAKE THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY DOWN. THE SURFACE LOW WILL PASS NEAR
THE LAKE THURSDAY NIGHT. THE WEST FLOW BEHIND THE LAKE MAY REQUIRE A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ON FRIDAY BUT WILL LET IT END THURSDAY NIGHT
FOR THE TIME BEING. THE WEST FLOW WILL BECOME NORTHWEST THIS
WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BUILD IN ON SATURDAY AND THE WINDS
SHOULD BEGIN TO CALM DOWN...ESPECIALLY BY SATURDAY EVENING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
CONCERNS FOR FLOODING FROM LATE TONIGHT THRU FRIDAY. OVERNIGHT THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR NORTH IS PROJECTED TO SINK BACK INTO
NORTHERN OHIO. MEANWHILE THE STRONG STORM SYSTEM OVER THE ROCKIES
WILL BEGIN TRACKING TOWARDS THE PLAINS OVERNIGHT...AND A BROAD AREA
OF 40-50KT 850MB WINDS WILL MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS JET WILL
INTERSECT WITH THE FRONT AND ADVECT WARM/MOIST AIR FROM THE GULF.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL JUMP TO AROUND 1.35" WHICH IS IN THE
99TH PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS UNUSUALLY MOIST AIRMASS
COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN IN ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. OVERNIGHT
THE GFS AND NAM SUGGEST A WEAK WAVE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER
N OH/ NW PA WHICH COULD BE SUCH A CATALYST. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL BE MEANDERING IN/NEAR THE REGION UNTIL THE UPPER TROF SWINGS
THROUGH FRI. WILL FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT AS
IT CAN SUPPORT CONVECTION OVER THE SAME AREA FOR A LONG DURATION.
RAINFALL RATES COULD BE UPWARDS OF 1.5" IN 3 HRS WHICH IS ENOUGH TO
PRODUCE FLOODING THIS TIME OF YEAR. SOME FACTORS THAT COULD HELP
SLOW/REDUCE THE FLOODING IS THE DRY WINTER AND THE ONSET OF GROWING
SEASON. HOWEVER THESE FACTORS COULD BE QUICKLY OVERWHELMED IF
RAINFALL RATES ARE HIGH ENOUGH. AT THE TIME OF THIS ISSUANCE THE
HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER NORTHERN OHIO
NOTABLY IN THE MAUMEE RIVER BASIN. CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED AREAS OF
2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN BEFORE THE WORK WEEK IS OUT.
