June 12 and 14, 2015 Severe Weather Strikes

Pesky Frontal Boundary Brings Multiple Days of Severe Weather

June 12-14, 2015

A frontal boundary stretching from the northeastern United States to the central plains lingered across areas of northern Ohio for several days from June 11-14.

On June 12, the front stalled along the US 30 corridor. This front sluggishly pushed north through the day and moved north of most locations in our area by noon. Temperatures in many areas reached 90F and the moisture and instability were in place for severe weather. A low tracked east along the front and sparked several severe thunderstorms just after 1:30pm.

On June 14, the front moved north over the lake and stalled just north of Erie, PA. Most of Ohio was in the warm sector with much of area getting into the low to mid-80s. Moisture remained abundant in the region as precipitable water values and dew points remained high. A shortwave from southern Michigan/northern Indiana moved east and triggered a few sub-severe thunderstorms before 3pm. However, more storms developed after 5pm and became severe in a higher-moisture, better sheared environment in northeast Ohio and northwest PA.
