Yesterday's eclipse and weather rocked! An image my middle daughter caught on her phone...

When I see things like this, I want to tell them, well, better luck next time in getting hit with a tornado.

A while back, I posted that the bigger threat would be closer to Cincy rather than here. I am happy to see the bigger threat remained to be a mainly south of our area issue 👍

I am looking more of a Cincinnati issue than here in Dayton area. My daughter at UC has been warned.

Those are great shots! Glad to see that over a field...

About the same boundary as the MLCAPE instability

Yellow is 1000 to 1500 with MLCAPE

Totally...Agreed...

Probably too many peeps looking at yesterdays Hi Rez Tornado signature maps. Crazy high yesterday. Thankful less so today but still potential...

The rains that moved through the South Dayton area came down at over 8 inches an hour rain rate at the house. Intense!

Not what we need....

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0100 PM CDT Mon Apr 01 2024 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF OHIO...AND INCLUDING ADJACENT PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA...NORTHERN KENTUCKY...AND WESTERN WEST VIRGINIA... ...SUMMARY... A potentially substantial severe weather outbreak -- possibly including a few significant/long-track tornadoes -- is evident for Tuesday afternoon and evening, with highest probability centered over the Ohio vicinity, and extending southward across the Tennessee Valley. Some severe risk exists as far south as the Gulf Coast, and as far east as western portions of Virginia and the Carolinas. ...Synopsis... While a positively tilted upper trough moves across the central third of the country Tuesday, a more compact/energetic short-wave feature is expected to dig aggressively/quickly southeastward across the Upper Midwest, gradually evolving into a closed low as it does. By Wednesday morning, the deepening low is progged to reside over the Illinois vicinity. At the surface, a low initially over the Missouri vicinity is progged to deepen as the upper system digs southeastward, shifting northeastward across the Midwest through the day, and then occluding northward into Lower Michigan overnight. A cold front associated with the low will sweep across the Mid Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valley through the day, and the Lower Mississippi/Tennessee/Upper Ohio Valleys overnight, crossing central/southern Appalachian Crest late. Meanwhile, a warm sector should expand as far north and east as central and northeast Indiana/northern Ohio/western Pennsylvania, though limited in northward progress to West Virginia/northern Virginia/Maryland by persistent/slow-to-retreat cold-air damming over the Northeast. ...Ohio and Tennessee Valleys... Widespread thunderstorms -- including some degree of all-hazards severe risk -- will likely be spreading rapidly eastward across the Ohio Valley area at the start of the period. This convection should reach the central Appalachians by late morning/midday, but -- though potentially having some impact on destabilization potential across the MDT and ENH risk areas -- should largely shift far enough east to allow warm-sector destabilization to commence. As the surface low deepens and crosses Illinois and eventually moves into Indiana, and the cold front advances across the Mid Mississippi and Lower Ohio Valleys, storm redevelopment is expected to occur during the afternoon. While evolution/storm mode remains somewhat difficult to discern -- in part due to earlier storms -- some mix of cellular and cluster/linear mode is expected to evolve. Given the ample destabilization expected in combination with very strong/veering deep-layer flow, all-hazards severe potential is evident, including very large hail, strong/damaging winds, and several significant tornadoes. The greatest risk, which will include potential for a couple of intense/long-track tornadoes, should begin across Indiana, and the spread across Ohio through the afternoon and evening, potentially reaching as far east as western portions of West Virginia and far western Pennsylvania into the evening. Eastward advance of the risk into central Pennsylvania will likely remain limited, but otherwise threat may spread into western portions of Virginia and the Carolinas late.

Hope everyone here made it out from these storms safe. Thankfully, my area missed out on any severe weather. Just some lightning and brief heavy rain.

Wishing the best!

We ended up with decent hail before the tornado warning went off. The radar indicated rotation was just to my east, so no worries on that end. The wife and girls took animals to the basement as a precaution. Decent cluster.

I've warned my oldest daughter about the potential for tonight. She near your area as she goes to UC.

😊👍

25.9 with light snow. 60s coming next week once more. I enjoy this time if year as one can see all kinds of weather 👍

Half in inch here. Roads and drives mainly wet.

I'm only upset with no snows on the road when I want a work or school snow day. Weekend snows can avoid the road all it wants 😊

Actually isn't much of a myth as last Friday's snow was mainly on grassy surfaces around much of the area until the surface cooled nicely. Had 4 inches of snow but only about an inch and a half on driveway and untreated roads.

Light snows falling at 27. Roads are mostly fine. Ready for it to melt. Too much in spring mode 😊
