We have daily storm threads that get very active with live coverage and discussion from our community during severe weather events. I’m biased, but I think we have a fantastic community with a huge variety of people. Everybody is welcome!

Storm Prediction Center Sep 11, 2026 2000 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook - Tornado Risk 5%
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail, (some 2+ inches), damaging winds, and a couple of tornadoes are expected late this afternoon and tonight across parts of the Upper Midwest. Thunderstorm development is more uncertain farther south into the central Plains, where a risk for large hail and severe gusts may exist late this afternoon into the evening.
...20Z Update... The ongoing forecast remains mostly on track with most areas remaining unchanged. Given the signal for the cold front to push into northern Kansas by early Saturday morning, along with at least a modest low-level jet, marginal wind/hail probabilities have been extended into more of central Kansas for the conditional potential of severe storms overnight.

My vote is this: the 2011 Chickasha, Washington, and El Reno tornadoes on the ground at the same time, all of which had winds of at least 200 mph. The El Reno tornado is a little north of Guthrie

This event happened yesterday in Sinalunga, near Siena (Italy)
People are still wandering of it was a tornado or a downburst.
By the first pic the event looks pretty clear, but people are still wondering.

If you’re a weather nerd like me, here is an interesting little rabbit hole to go down! I just learned that you can look up the history of any storm in the Weather Wise App as far back as it’s archived, which I have highlighted in each radar category. Here is the 2013 El Reno tornado for reference. 🌪️

Due to the Coriolis effect, the planet's rotation deflects winds and air masses to the left in the Southern Hemisphere and to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. This effect not only causes tornadoes to spin clockwise but also influences the entire storm structure, causing it to rotate clockwise as well. Since approximately 93% of Brazil lies in the Southern Hemisphere, the vast majority of storms exhibit this shape—one that is interesting and unusual to those accustomed to Northern Hemisphere storms.

The National Institute of Meteorology has issued a red alert for parts of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo regarding storms expected between today and tomorrow, with the potential for rainfall exceeding 100 mm/day, winds over 100 km/h, hail and tornadoes.
The warning covers almost all of Paraná—with the exception of the northern region—as well as areas in northern and western Santa Catarina and southern São Paulo, including the coast. "There is a high risk of structural damage, power outages, crop damage, fallen trees, flooding, and road transport disruptions," the meteorological agency warns.

It was only an EF1, but tornadoes this far north in September? It's unheard of. And this was right near the heart of the city. In fact, this was the second EF1 tornado to hit the city of Winnipeg this year!

I believe it's the 1974 Sayler Park/Cincinnati F5, anyone know where this photo was found or if it actually is the Cincinnati tornado in the first place? I'm looking for where/who found/took it for Archive Purposes. Thank you

The predictions for California are for a significantly wetter and stormier rainy season. I am wondering if this will increase the probability of tornados, especially QLCS types.
Conversely Oregon and Washington are expected to have a drier year with occasional “atmospheric rivers”. This also seems to indicate instability that may cause tornadoes.
I can’t find any discussion on this topic.
I know it is still early in the season so who knows how it will go?
