CANADA WATCHING... ==discussion==

A low pressure system from Colorado is expected to track towards the
Great Lakes and will rapidly intensify into a significant fall storm
as it heads towards Lake Superior later on Sunday. Its associated
cold front is forecast to reach Southwestern Ontario late Sunday
afternoon then blast east across the remainder of the regions Sunday
night.

In advance of this fall storm, southerly winds will continue to pump
in mild air from the Southern United States. Hence fair weather under
various blends of sun and cloud along with mild temperatures are
expected today. On Sunday, stronger southerly winds will help
temperatures to rise well into the mid teens, with a few locales such
as Niagara and Windsor possibly getting into the upper teens. Showers
are likely Sunday, with many areas receiving a total of 15 to 25 mm
thanks to tropical moisture coming up from the Gulf of Mexico.
However there may be some rain-free periods of a couple hours
As well.

Very strong and gusty southwesterly winds are expected to herald the
arrival of the strong cold front late on Sunday. Thunderstorms may
form along and ahead of the cold front. Some of these thunderstorms
may be severe with damaging winds the main threat, especially for
Southwestern Ontario.

In the wake of the cold front, very strong winds will persist into
Monday with much colder air from the Arctic expected to blast in from
the northwest in the wake of the front by Monday night. There is
potential for snow squalls by Tuesday in the snow belt regions to the
southeast of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay as winter roars in with a
vengeance.

Environment Canada will monitor this developing situation closely.


The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as
warnings may be required or extended.

Is this going to be another Joplin event?! Possibly in Ohio?! Oh my!

SW Ohio near Indiana border here. Low rolling clouds before dark. Dogs seem on edge. Prepared if the storms do hit.

West central Indiana here.....my dogs are on edge as well. I hate it when they act like this but I have learned to pay attention.

So, we get a lot of hype and dramatic, concerned reactions from many.

Luisport, gets massively defended (and rightfully so for all he does on this site to inform people).

BUT...

We now enter the actual time period of when the storm is formed and passing through these areas.

And no updates.

No reports.

Nothing.

So where is the doom? The desturction? The death?

The houses being torn to shreds?

Isn't that what this thread warned about? Or are we now defining normal thunder/rain storms as Apocalyptic?

Seriously, if this is another wash out... we should all be ashamed of ourselves. A bunch of fucking drama queens and false prophets. So tired of the same old shit here.

No wonder the smart ones walked out of here while they could.

Storms/rain are beginning to head easterly already this early in the morning. With dewpoints in the 50s and 60s, when the sun comes up and adds heat into the mix, things are just going to explode.

You can feel it in the air in SE Michigan tonight, winds blowing up from the south and they are warm, much warmer than what we had the past few days.

Major cities with strong tornado threat today include the following: Chicago, Springfield, Peoria, IL; Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, IN; Grand Rapids, Lansing, Detroit, MI; Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnatti, OH; Louisville, Lexington, to Paducah, KY.


With all these populated areas in the high and moderate risk areas that will see tornadoes and high winds, I expect there will be one of the somewhat rare PDS (particualrly dangerous situation) tornado watches issued before the storms begin to fire.
