Marine Thunderstorm Wind · Lake Erie

The Edgewater Beach Mesonet Station in Cleveland recorded a peak straight-line convective wind gust of 75-mph from a line of thunderstorms.

At the surface, a cold front drifted southeastward across Lake Ontario, southern ON, and southern Lower MI toward Lake Erie during the early afternoon through late evening of the 31st. Ahead of the front, a line of multicell thunderstorms persisted generally eastward along and near the OH shore of Lake Erie and generated sporadic peak straight-line convective wind gusts of storm-to-hurricane-force during the late afternoon through early evening of the 31st. The ambient environment of these storms included moderate to strong effective bulk shear and weak to moderate MUCAPE.
