Episode Narrative An occluded low drifted north-northeastward over James Bay and allowed its trailing cold front to sweep eastward across northern Ohio during the morning through mid-afternoon of the 25th. A line of showers and thunderstorms accompanied the cold front as the front encountered a warm sector with weak to moderate MUCAPE and moderate to strong effective bulk shear. A bow echo within the line produced a concentrated swath of straight-line wind damage from Huron County east-northeastward to Ashtabula County. In addition, a brief tornado occurred within the bow echo as it traversed eastern Lorain County. Surface-based vertical vorticity induced by low-level horizontal wind shear along the Lake Erie lake breeze front was likely ingested by an updraft and subsequently stretched to tornado-strength via low-level convergence at the updraft's base.
Event Narrative A very brief EF-0 tornado with estimated peak winds of 80 mph impacted Eaton Township. The tornado damaged several buildings and vehicles as it moved northeastward through an industrial park along East Commerce Way. The damage included pieces of a roof that were peeled off an industrial building.
