Severe WX Severe Weather Thread - 6/15/26 - 6/18/26

Mother nature heard us talking crap.

Large Tornado on the ground north of Mattoon. People calling a bust eating their words

Uttering the same sentiment but this doesn't change the fact this has severely underperformed if not a bust at this point. One tornado doesn't verify the moderate.

That being said, this looks like a nasty situation here. TRX is stuck in the bears zones with this one.

And that's why it aint over till the fat lady (overnight inversion) sings

 

[TornadoFan]

All it takes is just one

 

[Muwx]

Respectfully, a single tornado regardless if it turns out violent wouldn’t reverse a bust scenario.

I got a two week ban for arguing that one tornado didnt verify a high risk once.

This supercell took the crap talk personally and through shear anger at our cockiness has willed itself to overcome the surface inversion and become surface based.
In all seriousness, nothing to stop this now from becoming long tracked other than itself.

 

[N0mz]

Velocities are absurd right now

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

And there goes another thread off the rails again....


It is what it is. Frustrating. 2026 baits us and lures us back in. This looks like a intense tor.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

At the very least y'all could postpone the bust discussion until the large and destructive tornado is out of Charleston? I swear.

Yea, i remember. Still confused about that.

Velocities continue to ramp up as it’s approaching Charleston. Likely rain wrapped.

Just an absolutely menacing look. Reminds me of Winterset 2022 with how quickly it looked like a dog legged hook with nothing going for it, then had a bit of something going for about two minutes, then big wedge.

Maybe we should start insulting more storms to goad them into producing?

 

[Brice W]

Storm to the S of Springfield looks like it might be down.

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

We all look like utter clowns now in the span of 5 minutes with a intense tornado heading into Charleston. Hoping the hail core is exaggerating the intensity of this one because it looks nasty.

 

[DanLarsen34]

The CC is noisy, but I am really concerned for Charleston, Illinois.

 

[TornadoFan]

Motion on Max's stream is just incredible.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

tornado potentially dropping near pawnee too

 

[tennessee storm chaser]

Not very wise to call a bust until the frontal boundary clears a area lol
