Wider weather episode

Northern Ohio resided in the warm sector during the evening of the 14th as a low moved northeastward across central Ontario and central Quebec. Simultaneously, the trailing cold front approached northwest Ohio from southeast Lower Michigan and northern Indiana.

A squall line outpaced the cold front and moved generally eastward across northwest Ohio during the late evening of the 14th. This line of showers and thunderstorms produced one measured severe wind gust and isolated straight-line wind damage. The showers and storms encountered moderate MUCAPE and DCAPE, and moderate to strong effective bulk shear.
