Strongest Great Lakes Storm in Years!
Late October and Early November are considered a second severe weather period after April, May and June. This is due to the leftover warmth of the summer still lingering across the south clashing with the first real pushes of winter air across the upper midwest. What lies in between both air masses is usually a strong cold front and a deepening low which produces bursts of high wind and often times, a line of severe storms.
Tuesday, October 26th, a deepening low over the western Great Lakes was evolving into a severe weather producing machine. Note the "L" at the top of the map taking up 50% of the country. But this storm is different. The pressure is lower than ANY great lakes storm since 1978 acording to the National Weather Service office in Chicago
Moisture (warmer colors) feeding into the storm aided in the development of severe storms.
HIGH WIND WATCHES and WARNINGS shown with tan watch boxes stretched from Montana to eastern Tennessee.
Early morning tornado watch boxes were issued from Chicago, south to St. Louis and east to Cleveland.
Northern Ohio was under a "high risk" for severe weather for the first time in years. This designation is typically reserved for tornadic weather in tornado alley, not Ohio.
Expect power outages through early Wednesday across northeastern Ohio through early Wednesday.

How about a 70 degree day in November?
Monday and Tuesday offer, more than likely, the last "real" decent chance of a string of 70 degree weather this year. Granted, this time of year promises rapid fluctuations in temperature and overall weather. Rain one day and potentially snow the next? Its happened before.
October is pretty much in the books. So what does November look like? Have we hit 70 alot historically in November.
Since 1980 (last 30 years) I counted up the 70 degree days and plotted them on the graph below.
You can see that most of the 70 degree days happened early in the month with only a few scattered by mid-month. Little to no chance by Thanksgiving.
By the end of the week, daytime highs will be back to normal--57 by late afternoon--then the countdown will begin to when the first snowflakes will fly.
