June 13, 2022 Severe Weather/Derecho

Overview

A line of severe thunderstorms moved rapidly southeast out of Michigan and Indiana late in the evening hours of Monday June 13 and during the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday June 14, tracking along a warm front which separated very hot and humid conditions to the southwest from cooler and drier conditions to the northeast. These severe thunderstorms produced a swath of continuous wind damage from winds estimated at 60 to 70 mph from northwest Ohio through interior sections of north central and northeast Ohio. A swath from Richland, Ashland, and Morrow Counties through Wayne, Holmes, and Knox Counties was particularly hard hit with widespread tree damage from winds likely around 80 mph. A large macroburst that tracked across Wayne and Holmes Counties produced estimated 80 to over 90 mph winds from Wooster Township through Millersburg. Thousands of trees were downed along this path, many of which fell on homes, vehicles, and power lines causing widespread power outages. Clean-up and power restoration in Richland, Ashland, Morrow, Wayne, Holmes, and Knox Counties took several days. In addition to the straight line winds, three E-F1 tornadoes touched down. The first tornado touched down 5 miles northeast of Mt. Gilead and ended 6 miles northwest of Chesterville and had maximum winds of 97 mph. The second tornado touched down in Chesterville and ended 5 miles southwest of Fredericktown and had maximum winds of 105 mph. The third tornado touched down 3 miles north of Butler and ended 4 miles south of Perrysville. These tornadoes damaged or destroyed several barns and outbuildings.

This line of thunderstorms was classified as a derecho. A derecho is defined as “A widespread, convectively induced straight-line windstorm, more specifically, any family of downburst clusters produced by an extratropical mesoscale convective system.” (American Meteorological Society, 2014). Furthermore, derechos generally have swaths of damage that extend around 250 to 400 miles in length, around 60 miles in width, and these systems contain 58 mph winds along most of that damage path with a few 75 mph or greater gusts.

Summary: An NWS storm survey revealed a large swath of significant straight-line wind damage across portions of southern Wayne, southeastwards into central and eastern Holmes counties just after midnight on June 14, 2022. This damage occurred as a result of an embedded macroburst within a larger-scale Derecho which impacted portions of northern Indiana and Ohio during the overnight hours on June 13 and June 14, 2022. Surveyors noted "thousands" of trees were brought down and/or snapped, beginning just south and west of the city of Wooster, OH. In addition several power poles were snapped and at least one building was destroyed. The extensive and significant damage swath continued southeast into Holmes County, ending in the vicinity of the Millersburg to Walnut Creek area.

Environment

Synoptic Analysis

During the late evening and overnight hours of June 13 and 14, 2022, a strong mid/upper level ridge of high pressure (heat dome) was expanding across the Midwest, Tennessee Valley, and Ohio Valley with 500 mb heights of 594 DM centered over the Tennessee Valley. This placed the lower Great Lakes in broad WNW flow with a belt of 60-80 knots from the upper Midwest through the lower Great Lakes. At 03Z (11PM) June 14, a 500 mb shortwave trough could also be seen traversing lower Michigan. This shortwave and its associated upper level divergence generated the enhanced lift necessary to form a thunderstorm complex. At the 850 mb level, a southwesterly 35-40 knot low-level jet developing in response to the mid-level shortwave lifted a warm front north and northeast to a position from the Upper Midwest to central Ohio at 03Z June 14 as can be seen in the tightly packed isotherms and dew point pooling on the 850 mb plot. This strong warm/moist advection into the warm frontal boundary set up a strong temperature and moisture gradient for which the thunderstorm complex could track along from NW to SE. In fact, deep layer moisture convergence at 03Z also showed the strong moisture pooling from lower Michigan into NW and north central Ohio.


Figure 1: 500 mb height/temp/wind	Figure 2: 850 mb height/temp/dew point	Figure 3: Deep layer moisture flux convergence and 100 mb mean mixing ratio

Another way to view this temperature and moisture gradient in the vicinity of the warm frontal boundary is to look at surface theta e advection. At 03Z June 14, the surface theta e plot showed a sharp theta e gradient from near Chicago into central Ohio which is almost in the same position as the 850 mb temperature and dew point gradient discussed above. Long-lived thunderstorm complexes that can produce long swaths of wind damage, such as derechos, often propagate close to the theta e gradient, and this derecho was no exception. The 03Z June 14 surface temperature and dew point plot showed very high dew points in the mid to upper 70s surging north and northeast behind the warm front, so the thunderstorm complex had plenty of heat and moisture available to maintain a strong intensity as it tracked along the theta e/temp/moisture gradient, as the low-level jet persistently fed heat and moisture into the system.

Synoptic Analysis

The parameter space (environment) was very favorable to support and maintain a convective complex, or in this case Derecho, in an otherwise unfavorable time of day across northern OH. Note almost all of the shown parameters indicate a gradient (values of high to low) located across northern OH. Organized storms will tend to track along these gradients while tapping into the extremely favorable parameter space just to the south of the gradient. Note the northeastward expansion of the EML, seen in figure 3, which was priming the mid-level environment throughout much of the day on June 13.


Figure 1: MLCAPE at 11 PM EDT on June 13, 2022. Note the strong gradient located across northern OH. The Derecho tracked southeastward along this instability gradient.	Figure 2: Effective shear at 11 PM EDT on June 13, 2022. Note the strong wind field in place associated with the Derecho with effective shear values in excess of 50 knots.	Figure 3: Mid-level lapse rates (700 to 500 mb) at 11 PM EDT on June 13, 2022. Note the northeast extension of the elevated mixed layer (EML) into the area, resulting in steep mid-level lapse rates of 7 to 7.5 degrees C/km.


Figure 4: DCAPE at 11 PM EDT on June 13, 2022. Once again, note the strong DCAPE gradient located across northern OH. The DCAPE parameter can aid in determining the damaging wind potential.	Figure 5: Derecho composite at 11 PM EDT on June 13, 2022. Note the strong gradient located across northern OH, owing to the very favorable environment for the Derecho to track through and maintain its strength in an otherwise non-favorable time of day.

Area Soundings


Figure 1: Detroit sounding at 8 PM EDT on June 13, 2022. Note the strong wind field resulting in 50 knots of effective shear. Also, note the slight easterly winds near the surface in the sounding. This means that Detroit was located just to the north of the boundary and thus why the instability parameters were so low.	Figure 2: Pittsburgh sounding at 8 PM EDT on June 13, 2022. At this point, Pittsburgh was located just to the south of the boundary, hence the more modest instability parameters. However, the effective shear values were much lower, more in the 30 to 35-knot range.
