While the weather will remain very quiet and warm across the Midwest the next week or so, things are beginning to pick up in the Tropics.

An area of low pressure is forming SE of the Bahamas. This will slowly move NW/N and intensify this weekend into next week. Those will interests in the SE U.S. need to pay close attention to this system as it could potentially bring flooding rains, surge and wind. There is much uncertainty in the track and intensity of this system so stay tuned to the NWS and NHC for updates the next few days.

Severe storm potential later today 9/23/25 across the Oklahoma/Arkansas vicinity.

A rather significant severe storm threat is possible this afternoon across parts of NE Oklahoma and western Arkansas.

A shortwave trough and associated triple point/surface low will lead to intense severe thunderstorm development by mid to late afternoon across the NE Oklahoma vicinity.

Significant hail, damaging winds and a few tornadoes are possible with any supercells. Eventually storms will grow into clusters with damaging winds becoming the main hazard futher east and south into Arkansas.

It should be noted that an increase in tornado probabilities are possible from the SPC for parts of NE Oklahoma and NW Arkansas where wind shear will be maximized along the triple point/warm frontal boundary.

Stay weather aware in this region today.

2025 Chase season in review...

While there was only a weak brief tornado on going in the SW Wisconsin valleys with this storm, it is one of my favorite images I captured during the 2025 chase season.

Rainy pattern for the next several days across the Midwest and mid Mississippi River Valley regions.

Slow moving upper level troughing will lead to repeated rounds of showers and storms. The severe threat on any given day should remain low with mainly a isolated wind and hail threat, however Monday looks to have slightly better severe probabilities so we'll monitor Monday.

Many areas should receive 2 to 4 inches of rainfall by mid week which is good news for areas that are currently experiencing drought conditions.

Severe storm potential today 9/14/25.

Its been a mostly tranquil period of weather the past several weeks so when I woke up to see the SPC has a 5% tornado risk in the Dakotas it was an easy decision to make a quick post regarding today's storm potential.

Severe storm coverage will likely be only scattered at best, however the potential for a few intense storms remain a possibility.

A surface low will move north through the Dakotas later today. Sufficient shear, instability and moisture will be present across the region ahead of a cold front to kick off scattered storms across most of the Plains. A few severe hail and wind reports will likely be the main hazards especially in or near the slight risk areas.

Near the surface low in the Dakotas a few storms may tap into enhanced low level shear to produce a few supercell structures with the threat for a few tornadoes.

Stay weather aware this afternoon and early evening.

Tomorrow. We Remember. 🇺🇲

24 years ago..246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.

2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning.

343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.

60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol.

8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift.

None of them saw past 10:00 am September 11, 2001. In one single moment, life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy your life today, and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, hug a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

Been a while since I've posted a severe outlook. However, This isn't for the Midwest region.

Later this afternoon a broken line or two of storms are expected to develop across the Northeast U.S.
Damaging winds will be the primary hazard, however there will be enough ingredients in place for a few tornadoes as well, mainly before sunset.

Stay weather aware in this region today.

Low end chance for a few severe storms Tuesday 9/2 across parts of MN/ND/SD. Storms are possible ahead of a cold front/trough during the afternoon into the evening. The main hazards will be gusty winds and hail.

Y'all aren't ready for this... ❄️

We may get the first snowflakes of the season for the far upper Midwest/Lake Superior region as we head towards the Thursday timeframe mainly during the early morning hours. Temperatures in the 30s could allow rain showers to mix with wet snow briefly for parts of NE MN and N WI/U.P.

Well below average temperatures are still expected the first week of September. A few nights late next week will feature potential frost for some locations.

Don't be fooled by this brief taste of fall, signals show a warm up by the second week/mid September with summer like Temps and humidity once again. This could allow for an increase in severe storm potential as well mid month.
