An Enhanced Risk (3/5, orange) is in place for parts of eastern Colorado and southeast Wyoming today. Risks include very large hail up to 3.5 inches, damaging winds over 75 mph, and a few tornadoes this afternoon/evening.

A tornado moved east of Dix, Illinois on Father’s Day as severe storms swept across southern Illinois. This footage from MyRadar storm chaser @jordanhallwx.bsky.social shows the tornado in Jefferson County, where officials say two people were killed after storms struck rural communities.

Discrete supercells will form across the High Plains this afternoon thanks to the DCVZ, pushing south and east. With that comes the threat of tornadoes and large hail. Meteorologist @willcanowx.bsky.social times out the storms. myradar.com/videos/6614

Storms, including some supercells, will take advantage of an unstable airmass draped across the mid-Atlantic today, leading to an isolated tornado threat this evening. Here’s the forecast with Meteorologist @willcanowx.bsky.social myradar.com/videos/6613

I have 8 weather apps (and maybe adding another from this thread?). @myradar.bsky.social has been the most consistently correct for me for years, and usually the earliest one to warn when big winter storms are coming.

More than 53 million people are under a Slight Risk (2/5, yellow) for severe weather today. Damaging winds and a few tornadoes are possible in the East, while isolated High Plains supercells may produce very large hail and an isolated tornado.

Multiple rounds of storms will fire today across New England, the mid-Atlantic, and the mid-South. Storm mode will be dependent on where exactly you are. Tap for an update from @willcanowx.bsky.social myradar.com/videos/6608

The remnants of Arthur are working into the Deep South. Torrential rains and a few tornadoes are expected. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has an update. myradar.com/videos/6607

PDS TORNADO ONGOING 9 miles north of Bloomington, Indiana. A debris ball can be seen BOTH on Correlation Coefficient and Reflectivity. It is likely rain wrapped, and as night grows darker, you will not be able to see it. SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY in this warning!

The massive fire that just broke out at a storage unit in Los Angeles produced a large, black plume of smoke. We can actually see it here on radar. "Echo Tops" show that the smoke plume has reached all the way up to 8,000 or 9,000 feet.

CONFIRMED DAMAGING TORNADO south of "Town of Oregon", Wisconsin. The tornado is deeply embedded in a squall line and is rain wrapped. Heading towards Brooklyn, WI. This is the SAME storm that impacted Harpers Ferry and the IA/WI border with a PDS tornado earlier today.

PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION and CONFIRMED tornado just west of Charleston, Illinois. TAKE COVER NOW! This is a LIFE THREATENING SITUATION heading towards Ashmore, Westfield, and Kansas, Illinois.

DESTRUCTIVE thunderstorm heading for Arcola and Humboldt, Illinois. 80 MPH wind gusts and BASEBALL sized hail are possible with this storm. Take shelter immediately and avoid windows.

PDS TORNADO north of Harpers Ferry, Iowa, entering Wisconsin. Notice a stark blue "debris ball", which shows debris being lofted into the atmosphere. This storm is comparatively north where the left-most edge of the jet streak exit region is producing the strongest vertical motion.

The first CONFIRMED TORNADO of the day was identified just north of Springfield, Illinois. If you live in Mechanicsburg, Dawson, or Illiopolis, Illinois, TAKE SHELTER NOW!

The tallest storm of the day so far is in...western Missouri? Even though it is well away from the Moderate Risk, this storm sits in an environment with extremely high CAPE values — fueled by high dew points and hot temperatures. It is tornado warned, along with multiple other cells in Missouri.

The FIRST tornado warning of the day has been issued over Monticello, Cisco, and Tolono, southwest of Champaign, Illinois. The storm appears to be elevated — low surface dew points make it difficult for any condensation or rotation to reach the surface. Still rotating heavily.

A new Tornado Watch (yellow) is in effect until 10 PM CDT for parts of Missouri and Illinois, including the St. Louis metro. Several strong tornadoes are possible this afternoon and evening, along with hail up to the size of apples and damaging wind gusts up to 75 mph.

Arthur has formed near the Middle Texas Coast. The main hazard remains torrential heavy rains and a few tornadoes. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has an update. myradar.com/videos/6604

A tropical rainstorm is festering in the Gulf. If offshore winds reach 40 mph, it may be named Arthur, but that doesn’t matter. The main concern remains heavy rainfall. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has an update. myradar.com/videos/6600

More than 40M people are under either a Slight (2/5, yellow) or Enhanced (3/5, orange) Risk for severe weather today across parts of the Midwest and Central U.S. Large hail (2+ inches), a few strong tornadoes, and damaging winds (75+ mph) are all in play.

Widespread damaging gusts are possible with an evolving squall line over the central U.S. and Canadian Prairies. A few initial tornadic supercells are possible too. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has an update. myradar.com/videos/6555

Today will feature WIDESPREAD damaging gusts across the central/northern Plains into southeast Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba. Gusts up to 80 mph possible!

A widespread severe weather event is expected across the Central States and Canadian Prairies today. A few tornadic supercells are possible, followed by a more widespread squall line with 60-80 mph gusts. We're working on a briefing now.

Scattered rotating supercells are possible across Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas today. Damaging gusts, large hail and a few tornadoes are expected. @matthewcappucci.bsky.social has an update. myradar.com/videos/6554

BREAKING: For only the third time this year, we have added a MUMBO ZONE on our maps! Increasing confidence in several potentially destructive hailstorms in eastern and northeast Colorado along I-70 and I-76. Isolated softballs are possible!

NEW: The Storm Prediction Center has UPGRADED today's risks. In eastern Colorado, GIANT hail (4+ inches in diameter) is possible. Outside chance of state record hail. In Kansas, 80-95 mph wind gusts in the orange possible if a squall line forms!

We MAY see an evening squall line evolve in north central Kansas. If that happens, isolated gusts up to 80 mph can't be ruled out.
