Severe Weather 2026

Like for this fall/winter
What happens in Brazil or anywhere over the Southern Hemisphere does not factor into the northern hemisphere weather.
 
CAM forecast soundings look great across the upper Midwest for Sunday evening if we could only get a discrete storm. 0Z HRRR suggests a few in northern Illinois but it's at the tail end of its range.

Would think potential for a couple tornadoes in N IL Sunday night as upscale growth induces a QLCS. Very strong low level shear will accompany the QLCS. a isolated tornado will be possible in the initially more cellular mode. A thing I've developed recently is stretch and nudge. It's basically just environments where you have low level stretching AND a bit of nudging required. 360+ 0-1km SRH are at play with this one after dark, thankfully no prefrontal threat to take care of that but QLCS tornadoes could still be pretty hefty. Will continue to monitor
 

Glad to see someone else providing context instead of just screaming Super El Nino besides me. Like who cares whether it's super or not.
 
The probabilities of stuff firing in question are pretty low, but on mesoscale there is an impressive, tornado prone environment in the midwest, particularly in Iowa.

Stuff has fired, now it's just waiting on seeing if they can both actually grow enough and not go upscale.
