AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Wilmington OH
342 PM EDT Wed Jun 8 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will track across the Ohio Valley through this
evening, promoting showers and thunderstorms. Weak high pressure
will gradually build in late Thursday and Thursday night.
Another disturbance will bring unsettled conditions late Friday
into Friday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Showers and thunderstorms have developed across the Tri-State
area near a northward advancing warm front, and also instigated
from an eastward moving MCV. Initial scattered convection may
be discrete/supercellular in nature, but as a
shortwave/deepening low approaches from the west later this
afternoon and evening, more widespread convection is expected
and convection may eventually take on more of a linear mode.

Expect a tight gradient of CAPE as the warm front moves to the
north, but sufficient instability to support organized and
possibly severe convection looks to move northward into much of
the CWA over the next several hours. Wind fields and shear look
pretty good too, and therefore there is the risk for all severe
hazards into this evening. Damaging winds and large hail are the
primary threats, however with the warm front and available
shear, rotating storms and isolated tornadoes will be possible.
In addition, heavy rainfall will occur in the strongest storms
and those areas that receive multiple rounds of heavy rainfall
and/or training could wind up with localized flash flooding.

As the low and shortwave move east across Ohio, convection will
push east with it and end from west to east this evening,
although lingering low level moisture will likely produce cloudy
skies for the overnight. Lows will drop into the mid to upper
50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Northwest flow will be in place during the day on Thursday.
With lingering low level moisture, mostly cloudy skies will
persist through much of the day. Can't even rule out a few
sprinkles or very light showers, particularly over central Ohio.
High temperatures will only rise into the lower to mid 70s over
most of the CWA.

High pressure builds in for Thursday night, allowing for
partial clearing and lows mainly in the mid to upper 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As has been advertised, the long wave pattern across the CONUS will
undergo some amplification as we head into the upcoming weekend.
Another embedded s/wv in the flow will help carve out a mid level
trough over the Great Lakes. Will continue with a threat for showers
along with a low chance of thunder Friday/Friday night. Clouds and
pcpn will keep high temperatures on Friday below normal in the lower
to mid 70s.

For Saturday, the s/wv energy will departing, so other than some
lingering showers east in the morning, skies should eventually
become partly cloudy. The cool pattern will continue with highs
again in the lower to mid 70s.

By Sunday, the mid level trough will begin to shift a little more to
the east. However, a weak frontal boundary passing across the Great
Lakes may bring a low chance for a shower/storm to the north,
otherwise skies will be partly cloudy. Temperatures will begin to
modify with highs in the upper 70s to the lower 80s.

Long range models indicate that a mid level ridge will build north
and east into the Ohio Valley by next week. This will be marked by
an advancing warm front Monday night into Tuesday. Southerly flow
will bring more humid conditions into the area. And with rising
geopotential heights, temperatures will further warm. There will
also be a chance of showers/storms with the warm front, then low
chances of showers/storms in the hot and humid warm sector. Highs in
the mid/upper 80s on Monday will warm into the lower 90s by
Tuesday/Wednesday. By Tuesday/Wednesday, the heat and humidity could
boost heat index values into the 95 to 100 degree range.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Expect showers and thunderstorms to affect area terminals later
this afternoon into the early evening. Activity may initially
fire near a northward moving warm front, then additional
activity associated with low pressure and a mid level
disturbance will move from west to east across the area. Tried
to pinpoint the most likely timing of thunderstorms with MVFR
conditions at all terminals. Amendments to refine timing and/or
include strong winds gusts and lower visibilities will likely
become necessary later this afternoon. As low pressure moves
east later this evening, convection will end and winds shift to
the northwest, but low level moisture lingering is likely to
result in a stratus deck of clouds with prevailing MVFR to IFR
conditions. MVFR cigs may linger well into the morning on
Thursday before improving.

OUTLOOK...MVFR conditions are possible Friday night into
Saturday morning.

The tornado touched down in open farm fields to the west of Schnorf-Jones Road and immediately intensified and hit a farm, heavily damaging barns and outbuildings. The tornado continued east and crossed Red River-West Grove Road, where another farm was struck. At this location, a house received roof damage and several barns were damaged. The tornado lifted in a field east of Highway 49. Several people witnessed the tornado on the ground in this area, including video footage of debris being lifted from the ground.

Damage at the first farmstead was consistent with wind speeds of around 100 mph, or EF-1 damage. The second farmstead sustained damage consistent with wind speeds of around 75 mph.

Tornado, Miami

When: June 8, 4:53 PM EST to 5:16 PM EST
Where: Miami County, 1.7 mi W of West Milton to 2.63 mi SW of Alcony
Rating: EF2
Path length: 13.75 mi

Property damage: $1.0 million
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey
Coordinates: 39.969, -84.362

The tornado touched down west of West Milton in open farmland and was only loosely in contact with the ground as it traveled east through West Milton. Only minor tree damage was seen for the first few miles of the track, with the vast majority of the tree damage being broken limbs and a few uprooted trees.

As the tornado moved through the Nashville area and toward Tipp City, it began to strengthen and caused EF-1 category wind damage to trees, power poles, and residences along West Kessler Cowlesville Road, especially near its intersection with Peters Road.

As the tornado approached Interstate 75, it strengthened further and directly hit several large industrial warehouse buildings on both the east side and west sides of the Interstate. On the west side of the Interstate, a large warehouse suffered considerable roof damage and a complete collapse of an exterior wall. Several empty semi trailers were overturned or rolled. In this area, damage was consistent with wind speeds of around 120 mph, or EF-2 damage.

The tornado continued across the Great Miami River into rural farmland where the intensity quickly decreased and damage to trees and outbuildings was consistent with EF-0 or low-end EF-1 damage. The tornado then lifted south-southeast of Casstown.

Property damage: $500,000
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey
Coordinates: 39.973, -83.986

Initial EF-0 damage consisting of snapped tree limbs and minor outbuilding damage began along Liberty Road in western Clark County. Intermittent tree and outbuilding damage then continued east, eventually crossing Shrine Road near its intersection with Ebersole Road. A barn was also damaged at this location.

Continuing east, the tornado strengthened to EF-1 intensity and widened to nearly 200 yards as it moved through neighborhoods along Ballentine Pike, Delrey Road and Fox Hollow Road. Hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted along this section of the path and several homes suffered damage due to partial uplift. The tornado remained EF-1 intensity as it crossed St. Paris Pike, eventually crossing directly through the Springfield Country Club where dozens of trees were uprooted.

The tornado continued east through the Edgewood Farms neighborhood and produced tree and minor outbuilding damage. Damage continued into the southern end of Buck Creek State Park. The main entrance to the park was closed due to several large trees uprooted along the main drive. The tornado crossed the southern end of the reservoir and then produced tree damage along Grant Road.

Continuing east, the tornado caused minor damage to a residence and barn on Mahar Road near its intersection with Yeazall Road. Additional tree damage could be seen across a field east of Mahar Road but no additional damage was noted east of there.

Widespread minor tree damage was observed throughout Sardinia and in surrounding areas. Much of this is believed to have been caused by straight line winds of around 60 to 70 mph.

However, a more concentrated corridor of damage was also observed, and this damage was caused by a tornado. The first tornadic damage was observed near the intersection of Hope Lane and Purdy Road, where tree damage extended into a neighborhood south of Charles Street. The most significant tree damage was observed on Oakdale Avenue. A stand of softwood trees was heavily damaged with numerous trees snapped off. Further east, behind some houses, several large hardwood trees were uprooted. These trees were found to be laying in different directions.

Additional tree damage was also observed on a consistent path to the east that crossed State Route 32, Siteman Road, and Katterman Road. No additional damage was found east of Katterman Road. Based on the tree damage found on Oakdale Avenue, the strongest winds in this tornado were estimated to be 75 mph.

The first damage observed from this tornado was near the main entrance to Tar Hollow State Park along State Route 327. A few trees were downed and there was evidence of a few snapped trees up the hillside to the west. More significant damage was observed on East Fork Road, where a wide swath of trees were both uprooted and snapped. These trees were of several varieties, including hardwood and softwood.

The most significant damage was observed along Narrows Road. The hills to the east of Narrows Road exhibited near-total decimation of the tree canopy, including some spots where virtually every tree was snapped or uprooted. This swath of damage was about four tenths of a mile wide. Along Narrows Road, tree damage was severe enough that work crews continued to clear the area two days after the storm. East of Narrows Road at 1825EST, 4.1 miles south southwest of South Bloomingville, the tornado continued into Vinton County (see Storm Data for Ohio, Southeast).
