  • Extreme Weather Lull Follows Erratic Storm Patterns Driven by Climate Change

    Extreme Weather Lull Follows Erratic Storm Patterns Driven by Climate Change
    Oct 4 2025
    This past week has seen the United States escape any direct strikes from a classic derecho, those devastating, fast-moving lines of severe thunderstorms known for unleashing destructive winds. However, the ongoing shift in global wind and storm patterns is dominating both weather headlines and scientific discussion. According to Mongabay, climate change is fundamentally altering how, where, and with what force windstorms—including derechos—hit the country. Researchers warn that as the jet stream grows more erratic and the atmosphere warms, we can expect more unpredictability in both the timing and power of these systems.

    Listeners in the Midwest and Northeast, where derechos most often strike in late spring and summer, have experienced an unusual lull following a dramatic storm season earlier in the year. Through the first days of October, national weather forecast centers have issued no new widespread destructive windstorm watches fitting the definition of a derecho—a reminder of how volatile, yet sporadic, these events have become. Texas Storm Chasers, in their October 3rd update, stressed that while there was some isolated thunderstorm activity near the Texas Gulf Coast and the Panhandle, nothing resembling a long-lived, fast-moving windstorm or organized derecho was present. Most of the severe thunderstorm activity has either been isolated or associated with tropical moisture, falling short of derecho intensity.

    The main atmospheric story this week has actually been the persistence of above-average temperatures and high-pressure systems that have suppressed thunderstorm formation across much of the central and eastern United States. Analysts from Farm Progress note that U.S. agriculture is now facing a long-term challenge more from relentless drought and heat than from windstorm destruction this week. Still, the specter of enhanced windstorm activity remains close, as warmer air and land-surface changes continue to set the stage for future extreme convective events.

    Researchers cited by Mongabay point out that, even in the absence of current derechos, the underlying risk is growing. Ralf Toumi and his team at Imperial College London are monitoring how climate change adds intensity to all major wind systems, and new modeling predicts a greater likelihood of high-impact, widespread wind events—including derechos—in the coming years. Meteorologists continue to warn that the atmospheric ingredients for such long-lived windstorms could come together suddenly, especially as the jet stream continues to shift and stall in unusual positions.

    All eyes now turn to the coming weeks: October can sometimes still produce powerful outbreaks, especially when the jet stream dives south and interacts with warm, unstable air lingering over the country. For now, though, listeners can be thankful for a rare stretch of relative calm following an era where destructive wind events, from hurricanes to derechos, had seemed almost routine.

  • "No Derecho Reported in the U.S. This Week, as Texas Faces Ongoing Heat and Dryness"

    "No Derecho Reported in the U.S. This Week, as Texas Faces Ongoing Heat and Dryness"
    Oct 2 2025
    Listeners, there have been no reports of any recent derechos—those massive, long-traveling windstorms spawned by rapid lines of thunderstorms—in the United States over the past week. The first days of October have brought very different weather headlines. According to Texas Weather Roundup on YouTube, almost all of Texas is experiencing continued heat and dryness, with fire danger rising in the southeastern part of the state, but widespread thunderstorms or destructive wind events have been absent. This week’s forecasts for the central and eastern United States have focused on above-average temperatures, wildfire concerns, and the impacts of Hurricane Imelda along the Carolina coast, but not on any inland windstorms commonly classified as derechos.

    The meteorological discussion provided by Texas Storm Chasers details that, as of October 1, the upper air patterns are keeping the region locked under a late-summer heat dome. Scattered light showers are possible in parts of east Texas or the Panhandle, but these are few and far between, and certainly do not approach the intensity or coverage required of a derecho. Even the weather models looking into early next week only suggest a possibility of isolated storms in the Texas Panhandle—hardly the signature of a widespread, rapidly advancing, destructive squall line. In fact, the heaviest rainfall is staying offshore, and most of the central and southern states will remain hot and mostly dry through the weekend, with fire safety now a bigger issue than wind damage.

    For listeners unfamiliar with the term, a derecho is a straight-line windstorm driven by fast-moving thunderstorms, known for racing hundreds of miles, toppling trees, damaging property, and sometimes causing massive power outages. Derechos are often described as inland hurricanes because their damage is severe, but they form over land from lines of storms, not from tropical cyclones. As aol.com’s weather section explains, the key ingredients are sustained, bow-shaped thunderstorm clusters with wind gusts frequently over 60 or even 100 miles per hour. None of these conditions have been met or forecasted anywhere in the U.S. this week, nor is there any indication of an imminent outbreak.

    The focus going forward is on fire weather and the ongoing warmth, with La Niña conditions favored to bring drier, warmer weather into the winter. The central and southern plains are transitioning into autumn with temperatures in the 80s and 90s, and only spotty showers—without the explosive line storms required for a derecho event.

    Thank you for tuning in. Be sure to come back next week for more weather updates and stories from across the country. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

  • "Calm Transition to Fall Brings Relief from Destructive Derechos Across the U.S."

    "Calm Transition to Fall Brings Relief from Destructive Derechos Across the U.S."
    Sep 30 2025
    Listeners, over the past seven days, the United States has not seen any widespread, long-lived, and destructive windstorm events associated with a line of rapidly moving thunderstorms—meaning no new derechos have been confirmed in this period. However, the threat of such storms always looms during transitional seasons, and meteorologists have been closely monitoring unsettled weather across several regions.

    Despite the absence of destructive derechos, significant attention has shifted to the lasting impact from severe windstorms earlier this year. In Houston, meteorologist Daji Aswad from KPRC 2 recently received an Emmy nomination for her coverage of the 2024 derecho that struck the region. That storm left a major mark on the area, knocking out power to thousands, tearing down power lines, and causing extensive damage to homes and businesses. Daji has been highlighting ongoing recovery efforts and the strength of local communities, reminding listeners that severe windstorms can return suddenly and with little warning.

    Recent weather across the Midwest has remained remarkably calm for late September, with Southwest Michigan forecasting nothing but sunny skies, foggy mornings, and crisp fall temperatures. This comes as a welcome break for residents who have dealt with extreme summer thunderstorms in past years. Van Buren, Kalamazoo, and Calhoun counties all enjoyed highs in the 70s and 80s, with stable weather and no indication of any destructive thunderstorm clusters developing. Instead of preparing for wind damage, local families have been enjoying autumn adventures—pumpkin patches and leaf-chasing dogs are the main headlines right now.

    Out east, New Jersey is also steering clear of severe windstorms this week. Meteorologists forecast a notable October weather shift, with cooler air, brisk mornings, and clear skies ushered in by a dry cold front. No warnings have been issued for damaging winds or lightning-packed thunderstorms—just the standard transition to full-on autumn. Forecasters are keeping a close watch, as October can sometimes bring a surprise line of strong storms, but nothing on the scale of a derecho currently appears in the models.

    While there hasn't been a new derecho or widespread destructive windstorm in the last seven days, listeners should remain aware that severe weather can erupt rapidly, especially as cold and warm air masses interact during fall. Meteorologists continue to emphasize preparedness: local agencies advise securing outdoor items, reviewing emergency plans, and staying updated with alerts, especially as we approach the colder seasons.
