This morning, History was made in South Dakota. A Single Supercell produced a wind gust of 131mph, wind normally seen in EF2 Tornadoes or Category 4 Hurricanes. This is the second Highest Wind Gust from a Thunderstorm ever recorded in the United States. This was that Storm

Unfortunately, I do not have good news. The Severe Weather threat for tomorrow has only trended up. We are staring down a full fledged Tornado Outbreak. I haven't see environmental conditions this favorable to Tornadoes in June in a long time. The National Weather Service Office in Chicago is calling them "literally off the charts" favorable for Tornadoes. The Conditions present tomorrow⬇️ ✅ Extreme Low Level Helicity, likely greater than 500 = Air will be twisting like crazy near the surface, making it stupid easy for Strong Tornadoes to form ✅ Strong Low Level 0-3km Cape = Fast rising motion near the surface ✅ Upper air support (500mb Jet Streak) = Strong Wind shear, meaning the entire Storm will rotate. This will also make Storms move fast, likely racing near 60mph. ✅ Small Temperature to Dewpoint spreads = Low LCL's meaning the clouds will be lower making it much easier for Tornadoes to reach the ground With this type of environment, "Long Track, strong-violent Tornadoes" are also possible according to NWS Chicago. Tomorrow is not a day to take lightly, my brotheren. We may not see a risk like this for a long time. Have a plan in place if you do get a warning - knowing where you'll go and what you'll do. I pray tomorrow Busts. I'll keep watching this like a Hawk 🦅

I've held my tongue on Wednesday for as long as I can. The more I look at models the more convinced I get. Wednesday could be a big problem. I'm talking the possibility for a Tornado Outbreak. All the ingredients are there for a potent setup. We'll have: ✅ Upper air support (500mb Jet Streak) ✅ Ample low level Moisture (70 degree dewpoints) ✅ Sufficient Storm Fuel (Cape around 3,000) ✅ Enough wind shear to cause storms to rotate Now the big question is will Storm mode favor discrete supercells or will it favor a line of Storms. If we get discrete storms in this environment, we will likely see a Tornado Outbreak. Our forecast will only get better as we get closer to Wednesday. In the meantime I'll be watching this setup like a Hawk 🦅

⚠️I’ve been watching this Storm like a HAWK. I know this setup inside and out. There’s no way to sugarcoat it. This Winter Storm is unlike anything I've seen in long time. ⬇️ Here are the facts: 🌎 This is an absolutely MASSIVE storm, spanning over 2,000 miles. Snow and Ice will be falling in Mexico at the same time it’s falling in New York. 🌨️ Widespread Snow Totals of 8–12 inches or more will bury large portions of the country, from Oklahoma City through New York City. Some locations will get EVEN MORE Snow, approaching a foot and a half of in spots. 🧊 Catastrophic Ice Accumulations of up to 1 inch or MORE are possible in parts of the South, enough to cripple infrastructure and overwhelm the power grid. 🥶The combination of Heavy Ice and prolonged Frigid Temperatures creates a dangerous situation, especially in Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and parts of the western Carolinas, where power outages are likely. 🧊 SEVERAL inches of Sleet may also fall in a narrow corridor from Oklahoma through New Jersey, piling up on roads like a mega hailstorm. 🚗 Travel will become difficult to IMPOSSIBLE, and in some areas remain impassable for days, due to deep Snow, Ice, and Sleet. ⏱️ This is a LONG DURATION Winter Storm: ⬇️Friday: Worst conditions begin in Texas ➡️Saturday: Impacts spread into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys ➡️Sunday: The storm shifts east into the Southeast, Mid Atlantic, and Northeast, where heavy Snow is likely This post is not meant to scare you. It’s meant to prepare you. This is a weekend to hunker down, bundle up, find a good book, and STAY HOME. 👊 I’m with you all the way, my brotheren

⚠️ An EPIC 48 hours are ahead for California as a powerful, 3 PRONGED storm delivers Catastrophic Flooding, extreme Mountain Snow, and widespread Damaging Winds. 🎅This event begins Christmas Eve, with the first storm moving onshore, followed by a second major system on Christmas Day. 🌧️ The biggest threat is flooding. Parts of Southern California, especially around Los Angeles, could see 10 inches or more of rain in a very short time. The National Weather Service has issued a HIGH RISK of excessive rainfall, meaning life threatening flooding is possible. ❄️ The Sierra Nevada will be buried. Some locations could see 100 inches or more of snow, over 8 FEET, near places like Lake Tahoe. Once the snow starts, mountain travel may become impossible for days. 🌬️ Winds will also be extreme. High Wind Warnings cover much of the state, with 60+ mph gusts in valleys and near 100 mph gusts in the mountains, raising concerns for power outages. This storm needs to be taken seriously. It will not end the world, but it could be one of the strongest storms California has seen in years. Merry Christmas my California Brotheren - wish i could have delivered a Sunny forecast for yall...🎅

A disastrous scenario is unfolding in the Pacific today as the island of Rota is about to take a direct hit from Category 5 Super Typhoon #BAVI The estimated Winds on BAVI are sitting at an astounding 155 knots (around 180 mph), which is enough to completely devastate the island. We are witnessing an unbelievable Superstorm which is pushing the very limits of what nature will allow it to achieve. Praying for Guam and the island of Rota, which is about to see the worst of this deadly Super Typhoon.

⚠️ A TRAIN of Storms is about to slam the West Coast yet again, bringing more Flooding Rain, more FEET of Heavy Mountain Snow, and more Wind to areas that have already been CRUSHED. Heres a summary of each Storm below ⬇️ 1⃣ Storm #1 | Wednesday – Thursday (12/31 - 1/1) 🌧️ Significant Flooding Rain targets Southern California, with some spots near Los Angeles picking up 2 to 5" or more of Rain. ❄️ Some Snow falls in the Southern Sierra Nevada, but bigger Snow totals arrive in Utah and Colorado, where ski resorts DESPERATELY need it. 2⃣ Storm #2 | Saturday – Sunday (1/3 – 1/4) 🌧️ This storm brings Heavy Rain to Northern California, Oregon, and Washington, areas that have dealt with recent flooding concerns. ❄️ Storm #2 looks to be the strongest of the three, featuring an EPIC Dump of Snow in the Sierra Nevada, with several FEET possible. 3⃣ Storm #3 | Monday – Tuesday (1/5 – 1/6) 🌧️ Flooding Rain returns once again to Southern California, adding even more Rain to already saturated and flooded areas. ❄️ Another HUGE Dump of Snow is likely in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with a few FEET possible. It’s going to be a long week for the West Coast. Hang in there, my West Coast brethren… 👊🙏

A very active weather pattern is setting up for next week, with multiple storm systems lined up to sweep across the US. It'll all begin with heavy rain slamming the West Coast this weekend into early next week, then the pattern shifts east as a parade of storms brings widespread rain, warm temperatures, and even the potential for severe weather. Because of the warmth, most of these will be rain makers, with only our brotheren in the western mountains being the only folks to get in on the snow. And although Severe Weather is certainty possible, the details still need to be ironed out. Nothing is guaranteed - but it’s definitely on the table in this setup. Get ready to get wet. 🌧️

THIS is what a LONG TRACK Supercell looks like ⬇️ 🌪️ Today featured a LONG TRACK Supercell that produced multiple Tornadoes, including a potentially SIGNIFICANT Tornado near Bloomington, Indiana. 📏In total, this Storm tracked over 150 miles while maintaining impressive structure for much of its life cycle. 🌪️ It was essentially its own Tornado factory. This is exactly what meteorologists mean when we talk about LONG TRACK Tornadoes and Supercells. 🙏Please pray for the people of Bloomington, IN. God please be with anyone affected by tonight's Tornados. 👊 See you on the next one, my brotheren

⚠️ GET READY FOR ROUND 2 🌧️ Round 2 of the INSANE 2025 Christmas Atmospheric River begins tomorrow as another powerful Low Pressure system ramps up and targets the West Coast. California is about to get MORE Rain, MORE Snow, MORE Wind, and more Flooding as another Atmospheric River pushes relentless moisture onshore. 🌧️ Rain and Flooding: Another 5–10 inches of rain or more is possible, which could lead to dangerous to catastrophic flooding, especially in areas already hit today. Burn scars from recent Southern California wildfires will only worsen runoff and debris flows. Widespread Flood Warnings are now posted along much of the California coast. ❄️ Mountain Snow: Heavy snow will fall nearly all day tomorrow in the mountains, piling up in the feet. The Sierra Nevada Mountains could see another 4–6 FEET or more, making travel difficult to impossible. 🌬️ Wind: Strong winds will be a major issue, with widespread gusts of 40–60 mph and up to 100 mph in the mountains. High Wind Warnings remain in effect through the next 24 hours. 🚨On top of all of this, a few isolated Tornados will also be possible. Of all things to have on Christmas, Tornados, really mother nature?? Hang in there, California. You are almost through this. Merry Christmas to you all 🎄
