Thunderstorm Wind in Holmes County, Ohio

Downed trees blocked Holmes County Roads 330 and 51, about three-miles southwest of Shreve.

At the surface, a cold front drifted southward across northern OH during the early afternoon through early evening of June 5th as one ridge moved little over and near the Mid-Atlantic states and Mid OH Valley, and another ridge built slowly from the Upper Great Lakes, behind the front. Along and ahead of the cold front, organized thunderstorms in the form of multicells and a few supercells moved generally eastward across northern OH during the late afternoon and early evening of the 5th. A weak mesocyclonic tornado occurred in southwestern Stark County and very isolated straight-line wind damage occurred in Stark and Holmes Counties. These storms occurred in an ambient environment that included weak to moderate MUCAPE and moderate effective bulk shear.
