DES MOINES, IOWA — A powerful quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) is sweeping across parts of the Central Plains and Midwest, bringing the threat of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes overnight across Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and western Illinois. Meteorologists say the fast-moving squall line is strengthening as it pushes northeast through the region, with radar imagery…
WICHITA, KANSAS — Meteorologists tracking severe weather across the Central Plains and Ozarks region say the expected supercell outbreak has evolved into a more complex storm system, with a growing line of thunderstorms stretching from eastern Kansas through Oklahoma and into Missouri. While earlier forecasts highlighted the potential for isolated supercells and strong tornadoes, storm…
WICHITA, KANSAS — A highly conditional severe weather setup is unfolding across parts of the Central Plains and Southern Plains, with meteorologists closely monitoring Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, and North Texas for the potential development of isolated supercells capable of producing tornadoes. While uncertainty remains regarding exactly where storms will develop, forecasters warn that any…
WICHITA, KANSAS — Meteorologists are closely monitoring a developing cluster of thunderstorms across southern Kansas, where radar imagery indicates several storms exhibiting splitting supercell behavior while producing pockets of hail. The storms are currently impacting areas near Leon, Beaumont, Douglas, and Atlanta, located east of Wichita and Augusta, with additional cells extending northward toward Newton,…
COLUMBUS, OHIO — Meteorologists analyzing the latest 12z HRRR weather model guidance say the highest severe weather risk on Saturday appears to be focused across southeastern Ohio, northern Kentucky, and western Pennsylvania, particularly areas southeast of Interstate 71. The model’s rotation track analysis, which highlights zones where rotating thunderstorms could develop, shows a concentrated corridor…
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA — Meteorologists monitoring weather patterns across Oklahoma, North Texas, and parts of Arkansas say the storm environment is evolving as a 700 mb shortwave disturbance moves through the region. While earlier expectations suggested storms might develop along a dryline, new analysis indicates the atmosphere is behaving differently, with mid-level forcing now playing…
NORTHERN OKLAHOMA — Meteorologists are tracking a powerful dominant supercell across northern Oklahoma, a storm that developed after a key atmospheric boundary shifted significantly farther north than forecast models had predicted. The unexpected boundary movement created a favorable environment for severe thunderstorms, allowing a single storm to become highly organized and repeatedly cycle, a behavior…
NORTHERN ILLINOIS — Forecasters are monitoring a potentially sneaky severe weather setup for Friday afternoon across northern Illinois, where leftover atmospheric boundaries from earlier storms could trigger isolated severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and even a brief tornado. Weather models indicate that a morning round of storms moving through the Midwest could destabilize…
CENTRAL UNITED STATES — A dangerous multi-day severe weather outbreak is unfolding across the central United States, with forecasters warning that tornadoes, destructive winds, and very large hail are all possible from Texas through Oklahoma and Kansas as the threat intensifies into Friday. Meteorologists say the storm system could affect millions of people across the…
UNITED STATES — A large portion of the central United States is under a developing tornado threat as the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) highlights a broad corridor from Texas through Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and into Illinois and the Great Lakes where severe storms could produce dangerous tornadoes. According to the latest SPC Day 2 Tornado…
