High wind warning for much of NW and Northern Ohio Tomorrow.









Sustained winds of 40 Mph with gusts to 60mph. Risk of severe weather is there as well. Gusts in Severe Thunder Storms may reach 70mph.





Edited to add: The Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center also suggests the likelihood of isolated Tornadoes. I would not be surprised if the SPC issues a Watch in the afternoon.

I just looked at the radar, and the warning map from the NWS. There is a long line in indiana with multiple Tornado Warnings
and SVR Warnings.

Also. SPC has NW and western Ohio as HIGH RISK Area. For severe Weather.

Tornado warning for western allen county and western putnam county

Another NWS non event!

Granted a few hot spots popped up but certainly was not the “storm of the century” as preempted yesterday morning by Detroit NWS. Nor did I see the “sustained hurricane force” winds that a Toledo TV station predicted.

Driving from Troy MI to Cleveland OH right behind the storm I didn’t even see a leaf out of place. There was a bit of flooding in Birmingham MI.

You got that right freqhunter. It is getting to the point where two or three white, fluffy clouds prompt severe storm warnings and a rain shower brings out a tornado watch. The NWS needs to re-read the story about the boy who cried wolf.

I believe there are some Folks in Cridersville Ohio in Auglaize County Just South of Lima and North of Wapakoneta, that would severely disagree with you! 3 Homes destroyed 25 have moderate to Severe Damage the Trees and Power lines Down Roof of School and Windows Damaged..a non Event.. I think not. Confirmed Ef 2 Tornado

cfr - the point is that many called for major destruction from Michigan to Alabama. Others took my path and said there would be some bad stuff, but this wasn't the second coming. That more cautious outlook ended up being correct. I did not say that no tornadoes would touch down, I said that it won't be widespread 80mph winds.

 

[freqhunter]

I love when people cherry pick what to respond to!

Did I not say a few hot spots did pop up?

NWS and the news rooms need to stop crying wolf! They had my own community so scared that the school system locked down all facilities. We got 2/10” of rain! Nothing more! That morning CNN, Fox and others talked as if the world was ending. It did look impressive on radar, it did hit areas such as Chicago hard, and it did have the makings for a large late season storm. It certainly was not the “storm of the century” packing “sustained hurricane force” winds.

I drove 200+ miles of the storm’s path within an hour of its passing without seeing a stinking twig bent over.

I stand by my original statement…….. another NWS Non-Event!

Non event

cfr301, this was NOT the second strongest storm on record. That is what all the local weather guys were screaming for 2 days before it 'hit'. They said that the low pressure cell was the 2nd lowest ever and that it would bring in hurricane force winds....it didn't. We did get some rain, less than 1/2 inch, we did get some wind, steady 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 30 or so, not the 70 mph they were talking about. We didn't even hear any thunder in Fulton county.

There is the possibility of severe weather and high winds with any rain storm but if you start peeing down your leg and screaming about the end of the world every time it rains then people are going to stop listening to you. The NWS needs to save the histrionics for times that they are justified and stop going off on a regular basis.

According to Two Different Stations Here the Barometer was the lowest on record, even lower than the Blizzard of 78. I think time of Day had a lot to do with it, and it is BETTER to be safe than sorry. As for cherry picking what to respond to, don't like it move on.

Another NWS non event!

Two confirmed tornadoes not even five miles from my house a non event? High winds and heavy rain in central Kentucky a non event? Other tornadoes farther south and elsewhere a non event?

I think not.

Would you rather be warned of the potential for severe weather, or killed when your house is destroyed by the tornado you received no warning of? How about the kids that could be killed when their school is wiped out by the "non-event" tornado they received no warning of?

Chill out. Better safe than sorry.

That is incorrect.

Pressure Records: The October 26-27, 2010 Significant Extratropical Cyclone

It is possible that the NWS may be over compensating for dropping the ball on The Big Blow back in September 2008, when they completely missed that weather event. Also, this is not so much on the hands of the NWS as it is the media for exaggerating and playing up the event for ratings.
In this case the NWS did its job by erring on the side of caution, but the media overhyped it to have us
believe a huge cataclysmic event was going to doom us all.

There were lots of leaves out of place in my neck of the woods.

No.

No. The NWS was fully on board with this being a historic event. The SPC put out a wide region of "high risk" which has only happened three times in October _ever_.

In this case the NWS did its job by erring on the side of caution, but the media overhyped it to have us believe a huge cataclysmic event was going to doom us all.

Absolutely wrong. Go back and read the NWS bulletins.
