Severe Weather 2026

Is it still sluggish for you?
Definitely. It's not enough to significantly effect the forum experience but is enough to be noticeable and annoying.
 
Thread has been created for 4/11 - 4/13 severe weather as SPC has now highlighted 3 consecutive days coming up:
Thread 'Severe Weather 4/11 - 4/13'
https://talkweather.com/threads/severe-weather-4-11-4-13.2504/

Can one of the admins pin the thread please? If I am able to, I don’t see where I can and I am on mobile right now. Thanks in advance!
I think the admins decide which threads are pinned and when lol The multi day highlight from the SPC suggests that it will end up being highlighted anyway.

We had a nice break there though for a minute ha!

Thanks. I'll fail the server cluster over this afternoon and it should improve.

Kill people? It's misinformation and a bit of overdone wording but I swear he has said this a thousand times since 2023 came around and this active stretch of years. He's always been known for tending to overreact. Killing people is way too far of a stretch and if anything, you're quite literally fearmongering yourself with that sentence. It's not that deep.

I actually do think it's that deep. The tweet won't kill people with this storm. But what happens to all the people who take it seriously and overreact? Maybe they panic and desperately warn their family and friends or cancel plans. Then, when nothing ends up happening or is much less serious than predicted maybe those people are embarrassed or feel stupid. The next system that rolls around they won't be as enthusiastic about warning their community. Maybe they won't take it as seriously themselves. Or maybe they will keep communicating threats but will be dismissed.

There's a reason The Boy Who Cried Wolf is such a timeless story. Reed is crying wolf in a majorly irresponsible way, and the next time a huge outbreak is actually on the horizon a nonzero amount of people will take it less seriously because of posts like Reed's.
 
Looking at long range guidance for the next couple of weeks, it really does appear that the sub-tropical ridge is going to keep the severe risk out of the deep southeast. Long range CIPS analog guidance shows the TN valley may get in on some action in the 9-11 day range.



I don't want to say the severe weather season is over for MS/AL, given there is still a few weeks left in April, but nothing major appears to be on the horizon.

I wouldn't rule anything out these days lol

West tn north ms nw Alabama may still get on something . Don’t let guard down yet

Oh, i agree with you on the overreacting part and etc but I meant as in to say that it would "kill people" is gong way too deep. This I absolutely agree with, I just thought that part was well overdoing it. The post definitely has the potential to impact or misdirect information, and i think that he does it way too much

Also for reasons i won't describe or are political, i don't really like Reed anymore due to his behavior sometimes on social media when people disagree with him. There's a lot of reasons.

We could really use the rain. It’s the wrong time of year to be this dry already.
 
Anywhere like the Midsouth or tn valley region or even parts of Dixie especially nw portion, don’t let your guard down for severe weather . Starting see some
Good signs on ensemble pattern Change. The sub tropical ridge finally breaking down getting pushed to the east , mid April to even first part may looks pretty active with major troughs coming east with some amped . It also will be prime time for higher cape also with increasing shear . Something to watch . Updates as we get closer

This year is kind of reminding me of 2008 with all the rain we're getting in Iowa. That was some of the worst flooding we've had, and interestingly enough the SE US was also in a drought. There was also an unusually strong Bermuda High in place, so it seems there are a at least a few parallels.

Over? Did it ever begin? lol

I thought last severe weather season was boring for the deep south… turns out it CAN get more boring. The synoptic pattern this spring has left us high and dry (literally).

This supercell near Linn, KS has had a couple interactions with other storms' FFD, this leads to cooling down and a decrease in temp/dew spreads and aids with tornadogenesis a bit more, it is a sneaky case not talked about enough that can induce tornadoes. This cell is looking interesting if this trend maintains with a near term tornado threat
