Severe Weather 2026

[eep]

Should be noted that there is also a very photogenic tornado warned supercell in west NE.

Anyone else have an annoying a$$ popup overtaking …?

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 off the coast in 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...
