Damaging Thunderstorm Complex could Evolve into a Derecho!
A complex of damaging thunderstorms will develop across parts of northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin this afternoon and evolve perhaps into a Derecho tonight. During the first 6 hours of the development, the impacts will be damaging winds and tornadoes. The rotation tracks suggest a few damaging tornadoes could develop prior to the system forming […]
Severe Weather in the Form of a Nocturnal MCS!
The low level jet will strengthen Wednesday evening and force hot air across the warm front sitting over the Great Lakes. The result will be a Mesoscale Convective System or MCS that will develop and more southeast. These types of system can produce damaging winds, heavy rains, frequent lightning and hail. I expect the MCS […]
Severe Storms to Cascade Southeast from the Northern Plains
A cold front moving across the Northern Plains will produce a band of severe storms across North Dakota into northern Wisconsin today into tonight. The same front will cascade into the Great Lakes Saturday and the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Sunday. In all cases, the impacts from the storms as they cascade southeast will be damaging wind gusts […]
Severe Storms will Hit NYC, NJ, Philly and Parts of New England Today
Another round of the endless summer storms will hit area already hit many times this summer from southern New England to Philly, perhaps Baltimore and Washington this afternoon. More heavy rains will add to the soggy ground already in place from recent storms. The impacts of the storms will be damaging winds and hail with […]
Heavy Storms for Eastern Canada and the Northeast
A cold front moving across eastern Canada will spark a line of thunderstorms this afternoon. The storms will move across eastern Ontario, southern Quebec and areas from Maine to New York this afternoon and evening. The impacts with the storms will be wind gusts over 35 mph and small hail. I expect some storms will […]
Severe Storms Possible Friday and Saturday
The cold front currently across the Ohio Valley will produce more thunderstorms today. Some of the storms could be severe from Pennsylvania to Missouri. I think SPC will upgrade the risk area by Saturday morning to a slight risk of severe storms. Low pressure will develop along the front Saturday. That wave of low pressure […]
Severe Storms with Damaging Winds and Possible Tornadoes Today and Sunday
As the upper level low moves into the central part of the country, another round of severe storms will hit the mid-Mississippi Valley into the southern Plains today. Wind damage will be the primary impacts but a few tornadoes could occur as well as large damaging hail. The upper level low will nudge east Sunday […]
Severe Storms May Produce Hail and Strong Winds
For today and Tuesday, we have a couple of areas of severe weather from the Plains to the Northeast. In each of the areas shown on the map, the storms will produce strong winds and hail. The High Plains could see a few supercells with tornadoes today. In the Northeast, a line of storms will […]
Daily Weather Madness: Severe Storms and Watching the Tropics
Happy Weather Thursday! First, I am watching the low development along the East coast. Low pressure will develop along the old cold front and move north into New England tomorrow. It remains to be seen if the low will have tropical characteristics and be classified as a depression or such. In any case, gusty winds […]
