Here is a timelapse of a prairie supercell near Drake, ND earlier today. Another round of severe weather for Manitoba and the Dakotas tomorrow!

THIS IS WILD! Storms convected in Houston, Texas, earlier today from the interstates being so hot! 😳

[WarrenCountyA.R.E.S. @WCountyARES]

Don't do this!!

SHAME! Cars are parked under overpasses due to a hailstorm in Watkins, Colorado.

Do NOT do this!

BREAKING: We can confirm that it was an EXPLODING METEOR that produced a sonic boom over eastern Massachusetts and much of Southern New England at 2:07 p.m. Eastern time.

It was cloudy, so there weren't reliable reports. The American Meteor Society has logged several reports of the boom.

United States Geological Survey data confirms it was NOT an earthquake.

The GOES East weather satellite has a geostationary lightning mapper that can detect infrared light emissions. At 2:07 p.m., it plotted a line of simultaneous lightning strikes in a 50 mile-long line. That would be highly unusual for lightning. While there was lightning south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, this was NOT the correct region of the overall storm for lightning, nonetheless a 50 mile-long stretch of it, to occur.

As such, we are comfortable calling this an EXPLODING METEOR. The satellites detected the infrared light emissions.

A few fragments likely fell to earth, but we're reviewing additional eyewitness data and radar data to determine the exact trajectory. (If it was moving southbound as it exploded, then a spattering of fragments probably fell on the Cape.)

🫠 You don’t have to wait for a heat wave to arrive to begin protecting yourself. Here are some tips to prepare for extreme heat before the summer season begins.

Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the “vent” at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by @WillClay25

Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are likely again late this afternoon and tonight across the nation’s mid-section…

[Matthew Cappucci @MatthewCappucci]

Noon update — a few strong tornadoes expected in northeast Kansas, especially Salina to Concordia to Manhattan.

Hail to softball size possible with stronger supercells.

Oklahoma remains uncertain.

Overnight leftovers shift into Midwest as windy line.

[MyRadar Weather @MyRadarWX]

A focused corridor of intense supercells with possible strong tornadoes and giant hail may occur in northeast Kansas and southeast Nebraska. Other scattered storms are likely from the Great Lakes to Texas.

@MatthewCappucci has a Monday update.

A Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) for severe weather is in place this afternoon and tonight for areas generally along and south of Highway 20 to the Iowa/Missouri border. Warm, humid air moving into the state will create an increasingly unstable atmosphere capable of supporting severe thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening hours.

Initial storms may begin developing across central to southern Iowa after 3-4 PM and could quickly become severe with large hail, damaging wind gusts, and an isolated tornado threat. Any storms that remain isolated early on will have the greatest chance to produce tornadoes before storms are expected to merge into a larger line later this evening. Heavy rainfall will also be possible, with repeated storms capable of producing 2 to 3 inches of rain in localized areas and isolated higher totals possible.

Attention will then turn to a larger complex of storms expected to develop across southwest Nebraska into northwest Kansas this evening before tracking eastward into Iowa overnight. Current timing would bring this activity into western Iowa after 2 AM. While storms may gradually weaken as they move east, damaging winds and heavy rain could still accompany this overnight activity. This complex will then push all of the activity out of the state by mid-morning Sunday.
