Corn Belt, Midwest Storms

A few rotating storms with large hail and a tornado threat will crop up today from Oklahoma to Michigan. Storms may eventually merge into a squall line with damaging straight-line winds. MyRadar meteorologist Matthew Cappucci has an update.

⛈️Three Separate Slight Risk Areas Today ⛈️

The SPC has issued three distinct regions of a Slight Risk (2/5🟡) for severe weather across the U.S.
Threats include damaging winds, hail, and even some tornadoes.

Here’s a breakdown of each region 🧵

South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska: [Starting 2PM MST]

A surface cold front, working alongside a shortwave trough, will provide lift and instability for numerous thunderstorms to develop across this region.

Mid-level lapse rates, or the change of temperature with height, will be steep, so deep convection and strong updrafts are likely.

As a result, rotating supercells may produce large hail, damaging winds, and a couple of tornadoes.

West-Central Texas: [Starting 5PM CST]

A small shortwave is expected in New Mexico will move into Western Texas by this afternoon, which will provide the energy for severe thunderstorms to form.

Abundant moisture and deep convection will allow these storms to maintain their strength. By the evening, these storms may merge into a Squall Line, or line of thunderstorms.

Damaging wind gusts are the primary hazard, with some large hail possible.

South Carolina, Georgia: [Starting 2PM EST]

Very humid air will be present all day, with dew points in the low-70s and temperatures in the upper-80s to mid-90s across the area.

A weak cold front crossing the region will spark this air to lift, and scattered thunderstorms will quickly develop. Strong directional wind shear will then cause some of these storms to rotate and become severe.

Large hail is possible, and damaging wind gusts could occur with the strongest storms.

has drawn an enhanced risk (3/5, orange) for severe weather across parts of Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri.

Starting this afternoon, storms may bring damaging winds and large hail.

Kansas City, Lincoln and Topeka are all included.

Stormy on the Plains

A few severe thunderstorms are possible from central Nebraska to southern and eastern Kansas today. Initial storms could pose a hail and tornado threat before merging into a windy squall line en route to Kansas City. Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci times out the storms.

A fallstreak hole is a large gap, usually circular or elliptical, that can appear in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. They are caused by supercooled water in the clouds suddenly evaporating or freezing

This one coupled with an iridescent cloud, was spotted over Chiapas, Mexico on December 27, 2023.

Hamster Note:

So your repeating hamster read that headline and their first thought was

"I didn't know there was a department of motor vehicles in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean"...

I guess that's why they have that graphic!
