  • Powerful Derecho to Slam Southern California on Christmas Eve, Widespread Power Outages Feared

    Powerful Derecho to Slam Southern California on Christmas Eve, Widespread Power Outages Feared
    Dec 23 2025
    A powerful derecho is expected to impact Southern California on Christmas Eve with wind gusts potentially reaching 110 miles per hour. According to reporting from Mike Smith Enterprises, these extreme winds pose a significant threat to the region, with widespread power outages likely if the forecast proves accurate.

    Meanwhile, the Pacific Northwest is also bracing for severe weather. PGE is preparing for a Christmas Eve windstorm with predictions of additional wind damage following a destructive windstorm that struck just days earlier on December 17th.

    The recent severe weather pattern affecting the nation has already caused significant damage across multiple regions. In South Dakota's Black Hills, a windstorm on December 18th produced winds of up to 100 miles per hour, causing extensive damage at Custer State Park. The South Dakota Department of Corrections deployed minimum-security offenders to assist with cleanup efforts, removing fallen trees and clearing debris. According to the Department of Corrections, the damage was so severe that parts of the park remain closed while power outages continue for hundreds of residents in the area.

    These destructive windstorms have also produced unusual consequences. A tropical Purple Gallinule was blown off course during December 19th and 20th storm winds crossing Southern New England at near hurricane level speeds. The exhausted bird was discovered in a New Bedford backyard and brought to the New England Wildlife Center for care and rehabilitation.

    In addition to the wind threats, California is being battered by a powerful atmospheric river that continues to bring heavy snow and rain to parts of the state as of December 22nd.

  • Powerful Windstorm Slams Colorado, Wyoming's Front Range with Derecho-like Destruction

    Powerful Windstorm Slams Colorado, Wyoming's Front Range with Derecho-like Destruction
    Dec 20 2025
    A powerful, fast‑moving windstorm hammered Colorado and Wyoming’s Front Range this week, displaying many of the hallmarks of a cold‑season derecho: a long swath of destructive, non‑tornadic wind, rapid storm motion, and serious impacts to infrastructure and daily life. According to the National Weather Service offices in Boulder and Cheyenne, the event was extreme enough to trigger a rare “Particularly Dangerous Situation” red flag warning for parts of Boulder, Jefferson, and Laramie counties, language normally reserved for the highest‑end severe weather and fire setups. Forecasters warned that winds would blow steadily at 45 to 55 miles per hour with gusts that could top 100 miles per hour, easily strong enough to bring down trees and power lines and push high‑profile vehicles off the road, even without a single tornado in the mix.

    The online outlet The Eyewall describes how a series of intense western storm systems and an overhead jet stream maximum focused their energy along the Front Range foothills, creating a corridor where mountain‑wave winds and embedded thunderstorms joined forces. As the upper‑level winds crashed over the Rockies and down toward the plains, they accelerated, converting high‑altitude momentum into ground‑level gusts that roared through canyons and gaps. The result was a band of convective wind that behaved much like a wintertime derecho: episodic bursts merging into a larger, cohesive swath of damage from north of Denver through the Cheyenne area, racing east with little weakening.

    AccuWeather and other national outlets report that the setup was so volatile for wildfire spread that utilities took the unprecedented step of cutting power to nearly 70,000 Xcel Energy customers in Colorado. That decision came on top of earlier shutoffs during another major wind episode just days before, leaving some communities in the dark for extended periods as a precaution against downed lines sparking fast‑moving grassfires. The Storm Prediction Center upgraded the fire weather outlook to its highest tier, “extremely critical,” covering more than 600,000 people from Fort Collins and Boulder to Cheyenne, underscoring how tightly linked this kind of linear windstorm has become with western fire risk.

    On the ground, local television and social media feeds filled with images of shingles peeled from roofs, semis tipped along stretches of Interstate 25 and nearby highways, and roadside signs twisted or snapped. In some foothill neighborhoods, listeners reported windows blown out and fences flattened in a matter of minutes as one of the strongest gust fronts passed. Even where skies looked mostly clear, the wind alone delivered conditions more familiar to landfalling hurricanes than to a December day in the interior West.

    Meteorologists emphasize that while this event may not meet every formal research criterion for a warm‑season derecho, it illustrates how wintertime lines of high‑based thunderstorms, embedded in powerful jet‑driven wind fields, can generate widespread, long‑lived, and destructive winds across hundreds of miles. It is a reminder that derechos in the broad, impact‑focused sense are not confined to the cornfields of June; they can roar off the Rockies in December, fused with fire danger and power shutoffs, and turn an ordinary day into a life‑threatening wind disaster.

  • Powerful Storm System Batters Western US, Leaving Widespread Destruction

    Powerful Storm System Batters Western US, Leaving Widespread Destruction
    Dec 18 2025
    Listeners, over the past week, a powerful fast-moving storm system has battered the western United States with widespread destructive winds associated with rapidly moving thunderstorms, cutting power to hundreds of thousands and downing trees across Washington and Oregon. KOMO News reports that in western Washington, wind gusts hit 112 mph at Alpental and 99 mph at White Pass, leading to over 250,000 power outages at peak, with Puget Sound Energy alone affecting nearly 99,000 customers including most of Whidbey Island. FOX Weather details how gusts reached 71 mph at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and a staggering 138 mph on Mount Hood in Oregon, toppling a semi-truck on U.S. 195 near Idaho and closing highways like White Pass due to fallen trees and high winds.

    This storm, part of a coast-to-coast system, intensified with a rare Severe Thunderstorm Warning from the National Weather Service highlighting destructive gusts, compounding damage from prior flooding where levees failed along the White and Green Rivers, forcing evacuations in Pacific and Tukwila. The CIRA Satellite Library notes the mid-latitude cyclone bringing strong gusts across the western US and Great Plains, while AOL reports hurricane-force winds up to 60 mph at Spokane International Airport, disrupting travel in over 30 states as it tracks east.

    Governor Bob Ferguson called it one of Washington's most devastating disasters, with 1,200 rescues across 10 counties, major highway washouts on U.S. 2 expected closed for months, and a state of emergency approved for FEMA aid. Though not officially classified as a derecho, the line of thunderstorms produced long-lived, widespread winds fitting the pattern, with blizzard warnings now in the Cascades and another atmospheric river targeting the region today.

    Stay safe out there as conditions ease but flooding lingers on rivers like the Skagit. Thank you for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me check out Quiet Please Dot A I.
