Severe Weather 2026

Quebec, new brunswick , maine 15% + risk is something i think ive never seen before.
View attachment 54094

then again quebec has had a 100+ mile long 1+ mile wide F3-F5 undocumented tornado happen in the forest area.
Last 15% Day 5 Severe Risk for Caribou, Maine area was July 16th, 2013 for July 20th, 2013.
 
likely very violent wedge tornado happening right now.

it has a clear eye
I think it's wholly premature to suggest there's a violent wedge OTG based on two images of rotation that is that close to the radar site. I will say it is impressive looking on velocity, but I think it's wise to hold off on saying something like that before anything is actually confirmed...
 
Cyclic boundary bonkers stuff in Canada with that supercell

Tomorrow has uptrended into a potentially decent setup for a few tornadoes given large amounts of low level instability along with enhanced low level shear in W KY/S IL. A sporadic regime of supercells riding 30-40 kt flow will accompany this feature. Some areas may approach up to 200+ 3CAPE! If this vorticity can be stretched efficiently tomorrow, we could see several tornadoes. I think a 5% may be needed in later outlooks. SPC agrees with my thinking regarding placement but that could certainly extend a bit north/south.

Regarding our Day 5 slight, it looks interesting. A highly sheared environment with the potential for a couple of tornadoes. Storm mode may quickly congeal given the orientation of the supercells. As such, how high tornado potential gets regarding significant tornadoes given 300+ 0-1km at times will be dependent on storm mode and also the amount of instability. This appears to be the threat I mentioned for Monday, but models have seemingly switched timing a bunch. This is not a setup you regularly see often up here
