  • Potential Derecho Threatens Northern Plains, Residents Urged to Stay Alert

    Potential Derecho Threatens Northern Plains, Residents Urged to Stay Alert
    Feb 10 2026
    Listeners, no derechos or widespread destructive windstorms from lines of rapidly moving thunderstorms have struck the United States in the past seven days as of February 10, 2026. According to AOL Weather reports, forecasters are eyeing a potential intense cluster of storms that could evolve into a derecho across the Northern Plains today, Monday, with wind gusts over 75 mph, possible tornadoes, and large hail from South Dakota through southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa, hitting areas like Aberdeen, Watertown, Sioux Falls, and possibly reaching Minneapolis-St. Paul by tonight. This line of thunderstorms is tracking along the northern edge of a heat dome bringing hot temperatures to the central U.S., and it meets derecho criteria of winds over 400 miles long and 60 miles wide with damage to trees, structures, and power outages. It would mark the second such event this summer in the region, following a late June storm with 106 mph gusts in North Dakota and northern Minnesota. No confirmed occurrences or social media buzz report actual events in the queried timeframe, and other recent weather like Winter Storm Fern's ice damage in Nashville or a Lake Erie ice crack on February 8 don't qualify as derechos. Stay alert if you're in the path, with safe shelter plans and weather alerts ready, as National Weather Service warnings could issue soon.

    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.

  • Quiet U.S. Spared Major Windstorm Destruction in Past Week

    Quiet U.S. Spared Major Windstorm Destruction in Past Week
    Feb 7 2026
    Listeners, in the past week leading up to February 7, 2026, no confirmed derechos or widespread, long-lived destructive windstorms from lines of rapidly moving thunderstorms have struck the United States. The CIRA Satellite Library's daily updates from February 2 through 6 highlight ice on rivers and the Great Lakes, a low pressure system off the East Coast, and earlier winter storms, but nothing matches the criteria of a derecho with its hallmark straight-line winds over 58 miles per hour for 240 miles or more.

    Social media scans and weather reports from sources like the National Weather Service show no such events either—no viral posts or alerts on damaging bow echoes or gust fronts tearing through states like Iowa or Ohio as seen in past years. The closest recent activity was on January 28 with power outages from a southern winter storm per CIRA, but that predates our seven-day window and lacks derecho hallmarks.

    This quiet spell follows a pattern where derechos peak in summer, though winter versions occasionally hit the Midwest. Keep an eye on forecasts as low pressure off the East Coast could evolve, but for now, the US dodged major windstorm havoc.

  • Severe Winter Storms Dominate Headlines, Derechos Absent Across U.S.

    Severe Winter Storms Dominate Headlines, Derechos Absent Across U.S.
    Feb 5 2026
    Listeners, in the past week leading up to February 5, 2026, no derechos or widespread, long-lived destructive windstorms from lines of rapidly moving thunderstorms have been reported across the United States. FOX Weather reports that recent severe weather has instead involved a historic nor’easter off the North Carolina coast, bringing record snowfall over a foot deep to parts of Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Virginia, along with wind gusts up to 70 mph in Nags Head. This storm rapidly intensified with a 33-millibar pressure drop in 24 hours as arctic air clashed with Gulf moisture, but it produced snow and high winds rather than the convective thunderstorm lines defining a derecho. The National Weather Service and UCAR news on new high-resolution climate simulations from the MESACLIP project, run partly on the Derecho supercomputer, highlight modeling of extreme precipitation and storms but note no real-world derecho events in the latest data. Social media and news scans from Fox News, CBS, and PAHO confirm focus on winter storms, rescues like K-9 Bo in North Carolina snow, and health alerts, with zero mentions of thunderstorm-driven windstorms. Derechos typically thrive in warmer months with strong convective activity, making them rare in this winter period. Stay prepared for shifting patterns as models predict potential increases in extreme events. Thank you for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.
