Thunderstorm Wind in Ottawa County, Ohio

Trees downed about four-miles east of Woodmore High School in Elmore. Straight-line convective wind damage was caused by rain showers.

A cold front drifted southeastward from central Lake Huron, southern Lower MI, and northwestern IN to southern ON, southeastern Lower MI, far-northwestern OH, and northern IN during the late morning through early evening of the 26th. The front was preceded by a warm and humid sector comprised of weak to moderate MUCAPE and DCAPE, respectively, and moderate to strong effective bulk shear in northern OH. Scattered to numerous multicell thunderstorms and a supercell developed along and especially ahead of the front. These storms produced isolated straight-line convective wind damage. Some of these intense storms trained and produced excessive rainfall, which led to flash flooding across the Toledo metro area and in the Ashtabula area.
