The damaging wind swath from Wednesday, June 10 has been preliminarily confirmed as a derecho.
The wind swath had a track length over 400 miles with a footprint just under 100,000 square miles. The strongest known gust was measured at over 94 mph.
There is no sugar coating it - this is a horrendous decision that will significantly decrease confidence in mesoscale, short term and convective forecasting. The RRFS is terrible.
Nobody that I have connected with in the community wants this to happen. Mind boggling.
