A line of powerful thunderstorms came through earlier this afternoon. Now it’s time to pick up the pieces. The line is settling south and the most vigorous portion is now in Pennsylvania.
This will be the entry point for some less humid air as we push into mid week.
Volatile weather potential is increasing in NEOhio. A Tornado Watch has been issued in areas just to our west.
It appears as though we will start seeing the potential for severe thunderstorms anytime this Tuesday afternoon.
As of 8:30 a.m., this TVS (Tornado Vortex Signature) is showing up in SW Michigan… and it is impressive!
I’ll have regular updates at the top and bottom of every hour on Heartfelt Radio, WKJA, 912.9 FM, Barberton-Cleveland.

A perfectly timed bubble of high pressure from Canada has carved out a less humid dome right over the Ohio Valley.
It should stay in place through the weekend along with a rise in temperature heading into the weekend.
But skies may occasionally look “smokey” thanks to brush fires in Canada. Watch the flow on this morning’s visible satellite image.
The cooler and less humid air will be paying us a visit for a few outstanding days!!!!
For my friends in Winchester, VA, it’s famine (no rain) with a brutal heat (upper 90s°F). For my friends in Vermont and New Hampshire, it’s the case of far too much rain in a short duration. Vermont’s cleanup will go on for months…. but at least this Saturday is looking quiet and decorative according to the Lyndon Institude steaming web camera.
Like so many of us, it feels like July! Former FOX 8 colleague Alexis Walters verified that this morning.
So let’s cool off a little and head to Iceland for a little sight seeing in “the west of Iceland.”
The trajectory of Beryl will determine where the heaviest swath of leftover rain will occur. Right niow, odds favor western Ohio for the heaviest rainfall between Tuesday night and Wednesday noon.
Early last weekend, the dew points were as high as they typically get in August:
Thankfully, all of that oppressive air moved out on Sunday night. This is what the drier air looked like this morning. Ahhhhhhhhh!
Strong downpours are likely to develop between noon and 6 p.m. Wednesday, especially in the northern counties of Ohio:
Rainfall in the 1-2” category could easily flood low-lying areas and near rivers and creeks .NEVER drive into a road that disappears in water. You don’t know how deep that water is.

8:30 a.m.
This is the line of storms whose high clouds are getting stripped off by strong winds aloft and getting pulled into Ohio after a pretty sunrise.
As of 8:30 a.m., the leading edge of storms is 150 miles away. Gusts between 70-80 mph were common in Michigan tjhis morning with many people losing power.
The good news is that I believe these storms will lose their “power” as they move into high pressure here in the Ohio Valley… however, many of the storms will survive the trip in, but winds will generally gust in the 30-40 m.p.h. range instead of hurricane force.
