Port Clinton AWOS recorded a peak convective wind gust of 40 mph from a thunderstorm.
The wider storm
A cold front moved into northwest Ohio the evening of Thursday, June 15th. A weak surface low pressure developed along this front over southern Michigan earlier in the day and moved southeast across the western tip of Lake Erie during the evening. A warm front extended southeast of this low pressure along the western Lake Erie shoreline and then down towards central Ohio. Thunderstorms erupted along the cold front near Toledo just before 6:00 PM and moved southeast towards east-central Ohio over the coming hours. Enhanced vertical wind shear associated with the low pressure and warm front allowed storms to rotate amidst an unstable environment. A dominant supercell (rotating thunderstorm) produced several gale-force to storm-force peak convective gusts along the lakeshore in northwestern Ohio and a waterspout over Maumee Bay. The waterspout then moved onshore in Maumee Bay State Park before dissipating.
Began near The Islands (41.5163, -82.8695).
