Severe Weather 2026

I'm not gonna look too deeply into this one yet. Euro usually is the first inboard with svr threats but I want to wait a bit before we go "hm" with this one. Don't expect a writeup unless I see sigtor+ potential.

What is say for now: Looks like a rather sloppy trough that favors more linear/embedded convection and with a strong LLJ, it's is a classic synoptic run of the mill QLCS event look ish atm. GFS not allowing for strong moisture return hence why it has nothing but I'm sure it will configure this solution eventually. Any more details are TBD
 
So just to get ahead of what could be our first legit severe weather threat mid/late next week, here's some stats:
Last October Moderate Risk: October 12th, 2021
Last October Tornado Outbreak for North MS/Mid-South/Deep South areas: October 13th, 2014 (Moderate Risk)
Last October High Risk: October 26th, 2010 (Mid-South into AL were affected, but outbreak more confined from Illinois to Ohio)
 
The remnants of Polo will lead to a extremely interesting severe weather threat in Kansas next Wednesday. The low drives very impressive tropical moisture into E KS and combined with orthogonal 300 mb flow + strong LLJ, a opportunity for discrete storms with all hazards.

The low does drive significantly warmer 700 mb temperatures into the area, making it conditional if convection can sustain. Height falls will be enough around the area to make me interested.

A analog to anything like this would be 9/14/25. Low level thermodynamics will be far much different as that was a MCV, whereas this is tropical remnants acting like a MCV except they also drive dry air into a environment. Watch this one.

There may be a detailed writeup coming to TalkWeather soon should the low level response strengthen even more.
