Severe Thunderstorms & High Wind Event
November 15, 2020


A very strong low pressure system tracked through the Great Lakes region, creating an unusually-strong wind field, both at the surface and in the low levels of the atmosphere throughout the region. A line of storms developed within the dry slot of the system during the morning and early afternoon, helping translate some of the gusty winds down to the ground. Numerous gusts of 50 to 60+ MPH were observed, with widespread tree and powerline damage (especially north of the Ohio River). Any structural damage was mainly minor in nature.
