This should be the top story everywhere tonight. I know there is so much crazy news going on - but this storm will change the landscape in Louisiana forever. Winds are now 150mph, nearly Cat 5. This storm will bring "unsurvivable" storm surge.

So I expect a 'bit' of a change to the SPC outlook for tomorrow. OH/KY need to pay very close attention to the weather the next 24 hours. More details to come.

I cannot believe I walked out my door in Columbus, Ohio and saw this! What an amazing, once in a lifetime event! So many people sharing this amazing showing it! What a year! Solar Eclipse and now this! Makes me realize how small we are in our solar system!

I have a sad heart tonight after learning of the passing of my dear friend,
@Chris10TV
. My thoughts and prayers are with Chris’s family and with my former colleagues at

One year ago, I was blessed to officially adopt Mikel. I am inspired by this kid - & the amazing life he has ahead. “I didn’t give you the gift of life, but life gave me the gift of you. It’s not flesh & blood, but the heart that makes you my son” - Happy

Today is my 500th day since I committed to change my life. Now, I feel like a whole new person & several years younger :)
My secret? Take a little step each week. Set small goals. Don’t get overwhelmed by some huge challenge. Baby steps will lead to a giant leap!
A SIGNIFICANT THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER is expected across Ohio on Tuesday. Damaging winds, hail and tornadoes appear likely. A few large tornadoes will also be possible. Greatest threat time is 2pm-9pm Tuesday. PLEASE STAY WEATHER AWARE.

What meteorologists nightmares are made of... Just one model's projection over the Columbus metro area. Just a tiny shift and you upset a lot of people. Nobody sneeze!
We will want to pay close attention to Sunday. It is a bit unclear if the dynamics will spread as far north/east into Ohio. But it certainly appears possible. Could be very active just west of Ohio… and some of that could make it into our area. Stay tuned.

Today, I can FINALLY announce that I am joining Spectrum News One Ohio as Chief Meteorologist. I am excited to get back on TV forecasting the diverse weather for Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati!
Look at how many more tornadoes have occurred OUTSIDE of the primary "Tornado Alley". Important to note though that some of the reports on this map in OH are from the same tornado. By our count, we've had 28 tornadoes confirmed in Ohio so far this year. We average 21 annually.
I have to say the Advisory vs Warning criteria in Ohio is messed up. I understand the rules, but when its been a few years for such a storm, an "advisory" seems to not represent the potential impact - & could be dangerous to some thinking the storm is no big deal. Soap box over.
After nearly a month away, I am happy to be returning ON AIR to
@SpectrumNews1OH
tomorrow. The outpouring of support has been so uplifting after the sudden loss in my family. Sincerely, thank you. Please, do your best to keep you & your family safe! See you soon, Ohio!
Ohio has officially tied 1992 for the most tornadoes to occur in a year (since 1950). We've now officially had 62 tornadoes. It is only early June.
Today's additions:
EF2- Muskingum Co
EF0- Knox Co.
EF0 - Delaware Co.

Today, we said goodbye to a terrific and trusted member of our weather team, Brett Collar. He is leaving us to be closer to his family in that state up north :) I wish Brett and his wonderful family all the success and happiness in their next adventure!

To my dear friend... thank you for your wonderful friendship, for your caring of me and my family, and for all you have given me and the rest of central Ohio. We are all extremely saddened by your loss, but honored that we got to know you.
Sometimes - change can be tough - and be rewarding. I am beyond excited for

new role at
@whiotv
. I have been truly blessed to do what I do - and look forward to my next adventure closer to my family.
HERE IS THE 2AM SPC UPDATE: Not many changes to their overall thinking on the threat later today/Tuesday. It still looks like a significant threat for damaging wind, hail and tornadoes from early afternoon through early evening.

Just wow - what a day. So far - I haven't heard of any reports of significant injuries. I hope that doesn't change.
This is from the Meijer Distribution Center near Tipp City. The NWS will have a busy couple of days surveying damage.

@SpectrumNews1OH
Just a reminder for those of you actually wanting storms and severe weather - and saying Ohio always gets 'missed' - Please keep in mind we've had (from last count) 37 tornadoes in 2023 so far... we average 21 annually. SO I think Ohio has had a big year so far.

Interesting weather set-up in Ohio on Thursday. If the sun can come out, I'm not sure we don't get through the day without severe storms. Something to watch...
SEVERE THREAT MAY RETURN NEXT WEEK- By midweek, a cold front is expected to push into that very warm and unstable air - likely fueling some strong to severe storms in our area Wednesday. Something to keep an eye on!

FIRST CALL: Folks, it is now no longer a matter if a winter storm will hit Ohio- but more about the timing and amounts... & of course precip type. PLEASE keep in mind these areas could adjust as we are now about to get into range of our high-resolution modeling.

Thinking about you, my friend. Hang in there. No one in the public ever really understands the gravity of what this job entails - and the personal impacts that no one ever sees.
I also pray for the mental health of all of the players, coaches, the fans and even the sportscasters who are struggling with this event while being watched and judged by everyone. Compassion is needed for all.

We sincerely hope this road warrior is okay after trying to clear the roads in Mercer County, which is now under a Level 3 snow emergency. If you think the weather is not as bad as we said... think again.

New HRRR model a touch more ominous on severe threat for central/southern Ohio. Could see a shift south in next SPC update. We'll see if other models follow.
This is likely TORNADO DAMAGE from the last nights storms that raced through southern Ohio. This is near South Salem, Ohio. The
