Derecho

A fast-moving, long-lived line of destructive thunderstorms carved across the central United States this week, producing what forecasters at the National Weather Service on social media described as a classic cold-season derecho setup: intense instability punching into unseasonably warm, moist air ahead of a powerful winter storm and strong upper-level jet stream support.

According to the Storm Prediction Center’s mesoscale discussions and outlooks posted on X, the event began as scattered severe storms over eastern Colorado and western Kansas during the late afternoon, then quickly organized into a solid squall line racing east and southeast through the ni...

Listeners, in the past week leading up to January 6, 2026, no confirmed derechos or widespread destructive windstorms from lines of rapidly moving thunderstorms have struck the United States. Texas Stormchasers reports from their January 5 YouTube weather roundup note high fire danger in the Panhandle and West Texas due to gusty winds today and tomorrow, but these are not tied to thunderstorm lines and lack the sustained destructive speeds over 58 miles per hour that define a derecho. They highlight a potential for storms in East and Southeast Texas late this week along a cold front, with some possibly strong, but uncertainty is...

You've asked me to provide information about derechos or destructive windstorms from the past 7 days leading up to January 1, 2026. However, the search results provided to me contain information about weather events from 2025, not from the past week of December 25-January 1, 2026.

The most recent derecho mentioned in the available search results occurred on June 19-22, 2025, when a major tornado outbreak and derecho caused damage across the Northern United States, killing seven people and injuring four others. According to the sources provided, forty-one...

Listeners, a powerful derecho is bearing down on the western United States right now, packing wind gusts up to 110 miles per hour that could spark widespread power outages. Mike Smith Enterprises Blog issued the first watch of the day for this destructive line of rapidly moving thunderstorms, warning of its potential to slam the region with vicious winds amid winter weather chaos.

This fast-moving storm complex fits the classic derecho profile—long-lived, widespread, and capable of inland hurricane-force destruction from embedded downbursts. As it barrels through, forecasters say the threat extends beyond gusts, with risks of structural damage, do...

A powerful derecho is expected to impact Southern California on Christmas Eve with wind gusts potentially reaching 110 miles per hour. According to reporting from Mike Smith Enterprises, these extreme winds pose a significant threat to the region, with widespread power outages likely if the forecast proves accurate.

Meanwhile, the Pacific Northwest is also bracing for severe weather. PGE is preparing for a Christmas Eve windstorm with predictions of additional wind damage following a destructive windstorm that struck just days earlier on December 17th.

The recent severe weather pattern affecting the nation has already caused significant damage...

A powerful, fast‑moving windstorm hammered Colorado and Wyoming’s Front Range this week, displaying many of the hallmarks of a cold‑season derecho: a long swath of destructive, non‑tornadic wind, rapid storm motion, and serious impacts to infrastructure and daily life. According to the National Weather Service offices in Boulder and Cheyenne, the event was extreme enough to trigger a rare “Particularly Dangerous Situation” red flag warning for parts of Boulder, Jefferson, and Laramie counties, language normally reserved for the highest‑end severe weather and fire setups. Forecasters warned that winds would blow steadily at 45 to 55 miles per hour with gust...

Listeners, over the past week, a powerful fast-moving storm system has battered the western United States with widespread destructive winds associated with rapidly moving thunderstorms, cutting power to hundreds of thousands and downing trees across Washington and Oregon.

Listeners, in the past seven days, the most impactful windstorm events in the United States have revolved around derecho activity in the Midwest, with continual fallout observed from destructive winds recorded in Iowa, Illinois, and surrounding states during mid-November. According to DTN’s Ag Weather Forum, these derecho events are characterized by long-lived, widespread windstorms tied to rapidly moving thunderstorm lines that have brought significant agricultural and infrastructure disruption, particularly at the tail end of the 2025 harvest season. Many farmers across northern Illinois and eastern Iowa faced sustained winds of 70 to 95 miles per hour, damaging corn still in the field, fl...

AccuWeather meteorologists issued an urgent warning on November 13, 2025, as conditions in the central United States became primed for a significant derecho risk. For listeners unfamiliar with the term, a derecho is a widespread, fast-moving windstorm linked to a line of severe thunderstorms, sometimes rivaling hurricanes in their ability to bring destructive straight-line winds. According to AOL Weather, the threat zone included parts of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri, with the timing of the outbreak expected late Thursday through early Friday. This system evolved as a classic low-pressure system moved across the Plains, creating strong wind shear and pushing warm, moist...

Listeners, as we move through mid-November 2025, there have been no reports of a recent or ongoing derecho, or any widespread, long-lived, and destructive windstorm caused by a line of rapidly moving thunderstorms in the United States over the past seven days. The most notable events impacting the skies have actually not been associated with severe convective windstorms, but rather with extraordinary displays of the Northern Lights. According to the CIRA Satellite Library’s daily updates for November 12, 2025, the biggest headline in recent days has been the “Magnificent Northern Lights Over North America,” which brought vivid auroral displays visible deep into the Un...

The past week did not see a true derecho event in the United States, but attention was focused on the potential evolution of a major, long-lived windstorm as an intense round of severe weather moved through the Upper Midwest and into the Great Lakes. As of November 11, 2025, most meteorological sources and real-time tracking websites such as the CIRA Satellite Library and recent NOAA reports show that the most prominent hazards were connected to lake-effect snow in the Midwest. This follows a week marked by changeable weather, but without a confirmed widespread, bow-echo-driven windstorm typical of a derecho.

Hello listeners, and welcome to today's severe weather update.

While there haven't been any confirmed derechos striking the United States in the past week, meteorologists are closely monitoring weather patterns that could produce these devastating storms in the coming days. Understanding what derechos are and how they form remains crucial as we head deeper into the fall severe weather season.

A derecho, from the Spanish word for straight, represents one of nature's most destructive weather phenomena. These are large clusters of thunderstorms that produce widespread, straight-line wind damage across vast areas. According to a January 2025 proposal...

Listeners, we have breaking news this week about one of the most destructive windstorms in recent memory. On June 20, North Dakota and the north central United States were hit by a massive derecho—a long-lived, widespread windstorm associated with violently fast-moving thunderstorms. This derecho swept across more than 400 miles, bringing wind gusts of 70 to over 105 miles per hour, and left hundreds of thousands of households without power overnight. According to WeatherNation, the region saw repeated gusts well above hurricane strength, even topping 106 mph at the Bemidji Regional Airport in Minnesota. A wake-low formed behind the leading edge and kept severe wi...

This past week has seen the United States escape any direct strikes from a classic derecho, those devastating, fast-moving lines of severe thunderstorms known for unleashing destructive winds. However, the ongoing shift in global wind and storm patterns is dominating both weather headlines and scientific discussion. According to Mongabay, climate change is fundamentally altering how, where, and with what force windstorms—including derechos—hit the country. Researchers warn that as the jet stream grows more erratic and the atmosphere warms, we can expect more unpredictability in both the timing and power of these systems.

Listeners in the Midwest and...

Listeners, there have been no reports of any recent derechos—those massive, long-traveling windstorms spawned by rapid lines of thunderstorms—in the United States over the past week. The first days of October have brought very different weather headlines.
