Severe Weather 2026

0-3km shear of 40 kts - northeasterly = QLCS tornadoes today. Watch frictional vorticity too plus QLCS interactions around the DMV and bay breeze

Minnesota threat will need to rely on airmass recovery as convection has trampled and cooled central MN a bit so far. This risk shouldn't be for another few 5-6 hours, so i suspect recovery will be a likelihood.

This RAP sounding from Baltimore at 20z:

with 200+ 3 cape! and a VERY saturated skew-t. current spc Mesoanalysis has PWAT values over 2.1 over here.

 

[KakashiHatake2000]

Spc just upgraded the mid Atlantic region to 5-15-30% wind and also 2-5% tornado with cig1 hatching and 5% hail with slight risk

Spc upgraded middle section south to slight risk for 5-15% wind and 5% hail

Spc has slight risk out for mid plains and upper Midwest for 5% cig 1 wind and 5-15% cig 1 hail and also a 2% tornado risk

Spc has marginal risk for Arizona for 5% wind

From NWS Mt Holly:

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening, some of which could be strong to severe. Storms are capable of producing damaging wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. A few tornadoes could be significant with up to EF-2 intensity.

Day 2 marginal for Midwest now including 2% TOR. Good call @WeathermanLeprechaun

 

[warneagle]

5% TOR with SIG 1 hatching, guess we're getting spicy this afternoon. also guess I'm not getting 9 in after work, oh well.

Took a look at that shortwave going through, checked CAMs and was surprised nothing had been issued yet

Damaging tornado hit Dover head on in the middle of the city. Not optimal.

Sounds like it hit the racetrack in Dover. Debris signature was notable.

All this video shows is a telephone pole slightly displaced. Definitely not "SIGNIFICANT". Max is becoming king of the wheenies.

They are all honestly starting to become unwatchable.

There's a small cell about to get rammed with an OFB in NE near North Platte, could see some shenanigans with it.

Tim Vasquez on Stormtrack attempted some more professional, high quality streams but because people only click on bright flashy clickbait he ended up getting no viewers. Youtube always rewards the bottom of the barrel.

Max is becoming even huger a douche than Max. That's incredible. Although I'll admit Ryan has honestly got a bit better in recent years.

Guess what? The name of the game is clickbait. You get rewarded for preying on people's feelings, and not giving accurate, high quality information. Sad but it is what it is and I doubt that method changes anytime soon.

PS I hope Reilly Dibble can shut his mouth about the SPC/NWS for a while. I always see him complaining on X. He's a disciple of Maxed Out Clickbait too. Who would think?
