Goshen, OH tornado has been rated EF2.

Edit: High-end EF2, so Ohio’s strongest tornado of the year so far.

Interesting tornado track from Canada:

Speaking of Canada, I also see there's some action happening in Saskatchewan again. I haven't been keeping close tabs, but from what I've seen online, it seems like it's been a busy season up there.

Impressive outbreak still ongoing in Saskatchewan. A large tornado touched down near Blaine Lake close to an hour ago.

Well that was a surprise, was just about to go to bed and suddenly - Tornado Warning! The warning has now moved to my east, but it's still active north of Holly, MI.



Current warning:

So far, one tornado confirmed. This one touched down only a few miles away to my southeast. The part of the storm that eventually dropped the tornado practically went over my house. Not the first time I've had a close call with the tornadic parts of storms. I remember years ago at my last house (also in Genesee County), watching a tornado warned storm with my dad, and a fast moving swirling funnel cloud went right over our house. We actually have footage of it somewhere. Looking back, we probably should have been in the basement instead of watching the storm, lol.

Wedge tornado in Estonia earlier today.

Reminds me how vilonia looked, trees obscuring the bottom of a wedge tornado

Yeah. Absolutely something you'd expect to see out of Dixie Alley, not northern Europe.

Accuweather says that this evening, there'll be a storm threat with supercell/tornado potential in east Michigan, Northern Ohio, and southern Ontario.

High winds took down part of our willow tree last night and it hit our house. Thankfully no damage, but a lot of work to clean up.

Oh wow..... they just issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the entire eastern half of lower Michigan, maybe, just maybe something can form this way so I can see some nice cloud structures

One of the (geographically) strangest watches I've ever seen was recently issued today. Severe thunderstorm watch 479 covers all but two counties of Maine, the entirety of Vermont and New Hampshire, one out of five counties of Rhode Island, and parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York!

In other news, a Day 3 Enhanced risk is out for portions of the upper Midwest including southern Wisconsin. All hazards are on the table.

A nice storm hit where I’m working in Villa Rica, GA earlier today. The lightning was intense and the wind got strong enough to shake the car and keep the stop lights straight in the wind. I couldn’t see through the windshield when it hit the hardest.

The NWS Birmingham just went with a interesting warning polygon for Randolph county. The storm doesn’t look like it’ll touch much of the area that is in the polygon.

 

[Taylor Campbell]

BMX trimmed the warning, but still probably too aggressive.

Does anyone have a story to tell about the storms that went through the Birmingham areas? That storm looked like it was likely producing 70mph winds.

It sucked. Badly.

I looked over the SPC reports. Several trees down and sadly 2 dead, 3 injured.

Saturday's threat over Wisconsin/Minnesota will probably go moderate at some point due to the insane Instability/shear combo
