At the surface, an occluded low moved northeastward from southwestern Lower MI to central Lake Huron during the late morning through early evening of the 25th. Simultaneously, the accompanying warm front decelerated as it moved northeastward across northeast OH, into northwest PA, and toward the southwest corner of western New York. The low's trailing cold front swept eastward across northern OH and eventually overtook the warm front in northwest PA.
Clusters of multicell showers and thunderstorms produced damaging wind gusts along and ahead of the surface cold front in northeast OH during the early afternoon. Moderate to strong effective bulk shear, weak MUCAPE, steep low-level lapse rates, and sizable DCAPE in the warm sector allowed precipitation associated with the surface-based and low-topped convection to be very efficient at transporting much stronger flow just aloft down to the surface.
