ILLINOIS — A powerful surge of atmospheric instability stretching from Texas through the Midwest and into Illinois is setting the stage for potentially explosive thunderstorm development Tuesday afternoon and evening. Forecast models show extremely high levels of surface-based CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) — the fuel storms need to grow rapidly — across Texas, Arkansas,…

ILLINOIS — A developing weather system across the Midwest, particularly Illinois and Missouri, is drawing attention from forecasters as atmospheric conditions Tuesday could support strong thunderstorms, large hail, and a conditional tornado threat. Forecast guidance suggests storms may develop along a warm front stretching across parts of Illinois and Missouri, though meteorologists warn that several…

TEXAS, UNITED STATES — Parts of the Southern Plains including Texas and Oklahoma could see a round of severe thunderstorms Tuesday evening, as atmospheric conditions begin to support storms capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and possibly a few tornadoes. Forecast guidance indicates that although wind shear may not be as intense as in…

IOWA, UNITED STATES — Forecast models are increasingly signaling the potential for a significant severe weather event on Tuesday across parts of the central United States, with particular concern focusing on Iowa and northern Illinois. Meteorological guidance suggests the atmosphere may become favorable for strong thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds…

ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES — A potentially active severe weather setup is expected Tuesday, March 10 across large parts of the Midwest, Corn Belt, Plains, and even portions of Texas, as a developing storm system creates conditions favorable for scattered to widespread severe thunderstorms. Forecast guidance suggests that tornado activity may develop in several areas, particularly…

TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES — Forecast models have remained consistent over the past several days in signaling a potentially active severe weather setup Wednesday evening and overnight across parts of Tennessee and Kentucky. Meteorological guidance shows a moist and unstable air mass moving into the region ahead of an approaching storm system, creating conditions that could…

ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES — Forecast guidance continues to highlight a volatile severe weather setup across the Midwest and Southern Plains on Tuesday, with meteorological models pointing to a storm corridor stretching from Oklahoma and Texas through Missouri and into Illinois and Indiana. The developing system could bring supercell thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes, damaging winds,…

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — Updated high-resolution forecast models are continuing to highlight a volatile severe weather setup across Illinois on Tuesday, with storms expected to develop during the late afternoon and evening hours between roughly 2 PM and 9 PM. Forecast guidance shows a stalling warm front near the Interstate 80 corridor, which may become the…

DALLAS, TEXAS — Forecast guidance is signaling the potential for a large severe weather outbreak across the central United States on Tuesday, March 10, as a powerful storm system moves across the Plains and Midwest. Current model projections indicate that tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds may develop from Texas and Oklahoma northeastward through Arkansas,…

ILLINOIS — The latest 00z HRRR model run is turning heads, showing levels of atmospheric instability that look far more like May or June than early March. Forecast data valid Tuesday evening highlights a corridor of extreme surface-based instability (SBCAPE) stretching from central and eastern Missouri into western and central Illinois — including Quincy, Bowling…
