Get ready for a WHOPPER of a storm system Sunday, March 15, 2026. This will be impactful for everybody in the central and eastern United States.
A dangerous severe weather episode will affect much of the Midwest and Mississippi Valley, with the potential for 60-80 mph straight-line winds and tornadoes, a few of which could be significant. We're anticipating a QLCS, or squall line with damaging gusts and embedded kinks of spin.
On the system's cold side, a blizzard is expected with up to 2+ FEET of snow in Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The mitten, meanwhile, will deal with a possible ice storm... simulated ice accretions are trending upwards and could bring power outages.
Then, behind the system, strong northwesterly winds will bring rapid drying. That will promote concerning fire weather over the Plains. It's too early to forecast a wildfire outbreak, but the High Plains in particular will be very susceptible to fire weather.
Air travel Sunday will be a mess. You'll have to reschedule flights. Probably best to contact your airline sooner rather than later as soon as fee waivers are issued.
