Thursday weather: Storms with heavy rain again possible
Thursday rain timing: Hi-res models, including Futurecast, show that we will likely see the rain impacting the ArkLaTex on decrease and gradually end on Wednesday night. Our next round of showers and thunderstorms will move into the area Thursday morning and move across the area during the day. A few of the storms could be strong with some gusty winds. SPC indicates that we will see a level 1 marginal severe risk. If we have any severe weather issues, damaging winds will be the main concern. Flooding will likely be a bigger concern as hi-res models are suggesting that parts of the area could see four to over SIX inches of rain!
Thursday temperatures: Models indicate that the expected showers and thunderstorms on Thursday will arrive a bit earlier in the day. Consequently, temperatures will likely not have as much time to warm up. Lows will begin in the 60s and low 70s. Daytime highs will only warm into the low to middle 80s.
Rest of the week: The chance of showers and thunderstorms will decrease a little on Friday and this weekend as the main upper-level disturbance moves into the middle of the country. Temperatures will begin to warm back up. Daytime highs will return to the lower 90s by the end of the weekend and the middle 90s by the middle of next week. Overnight lows will remain in the 70s.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Minnesota derecho threat: 100 mph winds, widespread damage possible
Minnesota derecho threat: 100 mph winds, widespread damage possible originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Severe weather is expected to redevelopment in the Dakotas Monday and speed across southern Minnesota — and it could be in the form of a derecho. What's a derecho? It's a widespread, long-lived wind storm that can produce "destruction similar to the strength of tornadoes," according to NOAA's formal definition. By definition, a derecho's swath of straight-line wind damage spans at least 240 miles. In advance of the dangerous weather, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) upgraded the threat for severe weather to enhanced and moderate risks in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Not only that, but the SPC says a derecho is "likely," with potential gusts along its path exceeding 75 mph. Sign up for our BREAKING WEATHER newsletters Renowned storm chaser and meteorologist Reed Timmer says there is potential for 100 mph wind gusts along the derecho's path. Fellow meteorologist Matthew Cappucci agrees that 100 mph winds are possible. The HRRR model hints at storms erupting in western North Dakota by around lunchtime and then charged rapidly to the east, southeast. In this outcome, storms would enter western Minnesota around 5-6 p.m. and then race towards eastern Minnesota, including the Twin Cities, by 10 p.m. Wind damage would likely be widespread in the HRRR model's outcome, as the model's wind gust swath solution shows potential for gusts to exceed 75 mph all along the line's path across southern Minnesota. The NAM 3km model has a similar evolution of storm development and track. The NAM model's wind gust swath projection indicates potential for the derecho to produce 90 mph winds. The RRFS model also has a similar evolution and track. "As storms develop across the Dakotas, they should move eastward pretty quickly and form into a line with bowing segments. Some of the HiRes guidance shows discrete cells with long UH tracks, so tornadoes and hail are also threat, mainly across western Minnesota," says the National Weather Service. The "UH tracks," otherwise known was updraft helicity tracks, indicate where the strongest updrafts (powerful storms that can rotate) could occur. The HRRR, RRFS and NAM models are all producing significant updraft helicity tracks. The National Weather Service in the Twin Cities is advising Minnesotans to "monitor the weather closely later today, and be prepared to seek shelter in a sturdy structure if warnings are issued for your location."

Forecasters Warn of Enhanced Risks for Severe Storms in Midwest
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Millions of Americans are under a warning for enhanced risk of severe storms across the Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes on Sunday, the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) said on Sunday. Newsweek has reached out to the NWS via email Sunday during non-working hours for more Infromation. Why It Matters In recent months, severe storms have battered communities across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and neighboring states. In addition, severe weather outbreaks can disrupt critical infrastructure and cause widespread damage during the heart of summer. Enhanced risk warnings, as issued by the NWS, signal conditions that could produce major thunderstorm hazards and tornadoes, underscoring the importance for communities and emergency responders across the region. Recent storm events have already resulted in property damage, power outages, and disrupted everyday life for thousands, making continued vigilance crucial. What To Know "Severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening across parts of the Upper Midwest to western Great Lakes," the alert from NWS and SPC said. "Other severe storms will also be possible in parts of the northern Plains, central Appalachians, and Mid-Atlantic." Severe thunderstorms with large hail, damaging wind gusts, and the potential for isolated tornadoes are expected throughout the region, the NWS added. The SPC warned of hazards including scattered damaging winds as well as the possibility of isolated tornadoes as storm systems traverse the region. Residents were urged to stay alert for fast-changing weather conditions and to monitor local weather alerts. "Given the strong buoyancy near/south of the front, and very steep lapse rates/elevated mixed layer impinging from the west-southwest, modestly strong wind profiles will be sufficient for intense supercell development with initial storms, including large hail potential (higher magnitudes possible especially eastern South Dakotas and southwest Minnesota) and some tornado risk," the forecast read. It added: Multiple southeastward-moving clusters should evolve this evening with an increasing likelihood of damaging wind across southern Minnesota into western/northern Wisconsin. Portions of the region have been upgraded to an enhanced risk." The Storm Prediction Center forecasts hazardous weather conditions. The Storm Prediction Center forecasts hazardous weather conditions. Storm Prediction Center/National Weather Service What Happens Next? The NWS continues to closely monitor storm developments in the Upper Midwest and other at-risk regions, providing real-time alerts and forecasts through its SPC and local offices. Residents have been advised to review their emergency plans, secure outdoor property, and stay abreast of updated warnings as weather conditions evolve. The potential for additional severe weather—including more tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail—remains elevated as storm systems continue to pass through the central United States.
