Severe Weather 2026

IL/IN/IA/MO just crushing everybody else. Surprisingly the latter two states managing to do it without being affected by any really high-end outbreaks like 4/26/24 or 3/14/25.

WI's count of 39 is considerably above the 1981-2010 30-year normal of 23, but still well below our annual record of 62 set in 2005, when our daily record-setting outbreak of 27 tornadoes occurred on August 18, of all days (when the Stoughton F3 almost hit me).

Recently gone through and edited/uploaded some of my GoPro footage from my chases in April that I overlooked immediately after the fact.

July 4th was the biggest severe thunderstorm warning day of the year. Happy 4th. 50 warnings concurrently happened at once.

Super Typhoon Bavi continues a impressive outer band tornado outbreak right now near Guam. Very impressive signatures for this area

12z HRRR looks a bit interesting for tomorrow. If it persists on other models I wouldn't be surprised to see a possible upgrade in later outlooks.

Flood watch here today. The heat wave is gone and now we’re in a stormy pattern. Heavy rainfall last few days and storms and continues this week. I’ll take 82-85 cloudy and rain and storms over 99 sunny humid.

Minnesota had some tornadoes last evening. The pictured one here is not the PDS one which unfortunately caused 2 injuries.



* AT 801 PM CDT, A CONFIRMED LARGE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO
WAS LOCATED OVER ROCHERT, OR NEAR DETROIT LAKES, MOVING EAST AT 40
MPH.

THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TAKE COVER NOW!

HAZARD...DAMAGING TORNADO.

SOURCE...WEATHER SPOTTERS CONFIRMED TORNADO.

Seems to me like a potential MCV moves thru IA/IL on Friday. Weak disturbance notable on many runs in particular and sounding reveal the classic landmarks of MCVs. Watch out for surprises with this one.

I'd like you to search up the coordinates on this sounding as well, and i think you would be a bit surprised. Very impressive kinematics for this area given the adequate instability
