| Episode Narrative | A surface low moved eastward across northern Lake Huron to the eastern shore of Georgian Bay during the afternoon through early evening of the 21st. Simultaneously, the trailing cold front swept generally eastward from western Ohio to far-southwestern New York and the Ohio/West Virginia border. A quasi-linear convective system (i.e. QLCS) accompanied the cold front as the front encountered a high-shear/low-CAPE environment within the warm sector. The high-shear/low-CAPE environment consisted of moderate to strong effective bulk shear of about 40 to 50 knots, 0-0.5 km AGL effective storm-relative helicity exceeding 100 meters squared per second squared, MUCAPE less than 1000 J/kg, mixed-layer LCL heights less than 1000 meters AGL, and weak DCAPE less than 500 J/kg. As a result, the QLCS consisted of a mix of low-topped supercells and multicells. Despite weak MUCAPE, the volatile kinematic environment and low LCL heights in northeast Ohio allowed some mesocyclones and mesovortices to become tornadic. A total of eight tornadoes occurred. In addition to the tornadoes, isolated straight-line wind damage happened and was likely the result of enhanced outflow accompanying mesovortices. |
| Event Narrative | A very brief EF0 tornado with estimated maximum winds of 80 mph moved east-northeastward in Seville. The tornado began just west of Rawiga Road and left a spiraling damage path in a corn field before dissipating. |
