John: you've lost his presence, but you will always have his spirit around you. You will one day notice a smile, a gesture, a particular tilt of the head in a grandchild that reminds you of him, and you'll know that those we love never really entirely leave us. It's not enough, but it's what we get, and we cherish it.
I am sorry for your loss.

Line of strong to severe storms likely late tonight and early wednesday... A rapidly strengthening surface low will move from the middle mississippi river valley to the great lakes by dawn on wednesday. A solid line of storms will develop ahead of a trailing cold front and will move into areas west of i-65 after midnight est late tuesday night... moving rapidly east to near the i-75 corridor by around dawn on wednesday. Very strong winds and somewhat unstable conditions near the surface will likely allow for some instances of damaging winds through tuesday night. Isolated brief tornadoes will also be a threat with this line of storms. stay up to date of the latest forecasts as timing of this line of storms could vary slightly.
Since this line of storms is expected to move through during the overnight hours when many will be sleeping... It is a good idea to make sure to leave your weather radio set on alert mode.
Outside of thunderstorm winds... Sustained surface winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts between 35 to 40 mph will be possible from late this afternoon... Lasting into the afternoon on wednesday

lotsa blow

One of our biggest concerns is the amount of wind energy carried by this large-scale storm system.
Jet stream winds are forecast to easily exceed 150 miles per hour with this system. But more alarmingly, the winds in the lower atmosphere are also expected to be fierce - with the potential for southerly winds of 90 to 105 miles per hour just 5,000 feet above the ground in some areas just ahead of the cold front.
That combination of powerful wind energy and an unstable atmosphere - even an only weakly unstable one as we often see in January - may lead to widespread straight-line wind damage along with the potential for a few tornadoes.
In addition, with such a strong wind field accompanying this system, individual thunderstorms or squall lines are likely to move forward lightning-quick, at speeds of 50, 60, even 70 miles per hour, making quick action all the more important if and when severe weather warnings are issued.
