Severe Weather 2026

Yep. Seems like a isolated tornado or two remains possible over there. The risk in Nebraska seems more like a structureshow to me.

I am watching Sunday for the potential of severe weather including isolated all hazards in portions of Eastern NY. I'll invite @N0mz's thoughts here too. The potential for prefrontal storms ahead of a QLCS interacting with enough low level buoyancy + a bit of low level shear could lead to a interesting day for the area

I like the S VT/S NH area a bit more. Looking at the 18z suite, seems to me that the more favorable SRH (still not great of course) is over to the east while ample buoyancy and deep-layer shear overspread the entire area. Temperature profiles look good pretty much everywhere except a little bit warm and dry at the surface in the south and over in NYC/NJ.

I would look out for locally enhanced areas of vorticity generated by the Hudson River Valley and the Merrimack River Valley, as well as the sea breeze boundary that sets up in from the coast in NE Massachusetts. In addition to the general geographic complexity, which stretches and strengthens mesovortices, these features can help trigger tornadogenesis.

Well we still managed a tornado warning in Dane County, although when I looked at Radarscope the storm didn't look like much. MKX said there was a funnel cloud report, though. I didn't chase; my wife has been hospitalized most of the last two months. Visited her after work and my mom joined me there so I went back to my parents' house (same place we were living when nearly hit by the 2005 Stoughton tornado) for dinner. The warning went out while we were en route.

Went through the cabinets by the old TV in my parents' basement. Lookie what I found...

Hope your wife is doing well!

Talk about a wave of nostalgia from those two alone...
 
That lightning storm that came through Huntsville Thursday night was severe enough that our local CBS affiliate, WHNT, was unable to broadcast their morning newscast on Friday because their signal was knocked off the air.
 
This summer has been the longest wait for the fall/winter severe season lol. I have been watching old severe weather event footage. Was reminded of the absolute beast of supercell velocity couplet from Jacksonville AL. About 6-7 years ago. In my search of older events. Also I forgot just how active tornado season was in 2021 from January to late march.

Two days out of the three that i've been under the gun for damaging winds. Had a bit of hail fall at the house on Thursday afternoon.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch again...most of my focus is on that complex west of Memphis.
 
Really hoping that one really nasty storm at Holly Springs continues on its trajectory of going north of me with those winds its packing.
