My new @midland @NOAA weather radio arrived today! Every home, school, and workplace should have one. Receive warnings from the @NWS right when they’re issued. We’re working on a time soon where a few of us meteorologists can get out in the community and program them for you.

The Arkansas connection to this @Lakers @okcthunder NBA playoff game is wild. Off the top of my head:

Given the deep-storm look (here is lowest-beam SRM sample from Hammond 106Z), & favorable along-boundary supercell movement, I would not be surprised if this contains a big, significant (EF2+) tornado. Monticello is in trouble, and we hope it cycles down before it arrives.

Tornado Emergency continues for Monticello MS, New Hebron MS and Silver Creek MS until 9:00 PM CDT

@ryanvaughan Yep. It is right behind him! Going straight for Monticello.

There is an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon into tonight across parts central and southwestern Wisconsin... Southeastern Minnesota...Eastern Iowa...Much of northern and central Illinois...Northern and central Missouri...Eastern and southern Kansas...And northern Oklahoma...

Per the SPC: Widespread strong to severe thunderstorm development appears possible today into tonight across parts of the upper Midwest southward across the lower Missouri valley into central great plains. Initially this may be accompanied by a risk for large hail and a few strong tornadoes, before damaging wind gusts become the most prominent hazard by this evening.

@BlueJays at @Brewers first pitch is scheduled for 6:40 pm CST. As a tornado warning bears down on Milwaukee

[Trey Tonnessen @WXTonn]

Interesting weather out west tonight. Tornado warning in California. Here is the radar view from Fresno County.

One of the more trusted institutions for hurricane research, Colorado State University, has released their initial forecast for Atlantic Hurricane Season 2026. Here are a few of the initial forecasting thoughts.

Initial anticipation is that the 2026 Atlantic basin hurricane season will have somewhat below-normal activity. Current weak La Niña conditions are likely to transition to El Niño in the next few months, with the potential for a moderate/strong El Niño for the peak of hurricane season. Sea surface temperatures in the western tropical Atlantic are warmer than normal but slightly cooler than normal in the eastern and central tropical Atlantic. We anticipate El Niño being the dominant factor for the upcoming hurricane season, driving increased levels of tropical Atlantic vertical wind shear. We are forecasting a below-average probability for major hurricane landfalls along the continental United States coastline and in the Caribbean. As with all hurricane seasons, coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season. Thorough preparations should be made every season, regardless of predicted activity.

It absolutely is the place to be. I’m soaking up this warmth before that front plows through here next week!🤣

[Brandon Orr @BrandonOrrWPLG]

Big delays at Florida airports not from the weather, but the sheer volume of planes. Apparently Florida is the place to be right now.

[Trey Tonnessen @WXTonn]

Sea fog is rolling in fast here in Panama City Beach. Dense Fog Advisory is in place overnight.

[Trey Tonnessen @WXTonn]

Luckily we warm up this week!
