Overview
|
On the afternoon and evening of March 30th 2024, a surface low pressure system developed and lifted into the Lower Great Lakes region into northwestern OH/northern IN. As the surface low developed, southerly flow increased through the afternoon and evening and the warm front over the lower OH Valley lifted north into the Upper OH Valley. This brought warmer, moist, instable air into the region. A passing jet streak overhead set the stage for modest instability but impressive shear just behind the warm front into southern OH and into northern WV. Strong to severe thunderstorm began to develop in western OH and tracked southeast through southeast OH and northern WV. The main impacts were hail but the impressive shear allowed for decent organization and a couple supercells developed. The cell that tracked over Monroe County Ohio became more structurally impressive and warranted a tornado warning and actually produced a funnel cloud near Malaga, Ohio. The rest of the reports were hail and the bulk of the storms weakened and dissipated as they tracked into the southeast portions of the forecast area. |
