Marine Thunderstorm Wind · Lake Erie

The Lorain Harbor C-MAN Station (LORO1) recorded a peak convective wind gust of 40-mph from a passing line of thunderstorms.

At the surface, a wavy warm front swept eastward from Lake Michigan, southern Lower MI, and western OH to southern Lake Huron, southwestern ON, eastern Lake Erie, and northwestern PA as an occluded low drifted from central Lake Superior to central ON during the mid-morning through early afternoon hours of the 29th. Multiple lines of multicell showers and thunderstorms developed and persisted generally eastward along and ahead of the surface warm front amidst weak to moderate MUCAPE and DCAPE, respectively, and moderate to strong effective bulk shear. One of the lines of showers and thunderstorms produced a gale-force convective wind gust along the Lorain County shore in northern OH.
