Headline: Quiet Weather Week Across US, No Significant Derechos Reported

Listeners, there have been no significant derechos or widespread, long-lived, and destructive windstorms tied to lines of rapidly moving thunderstorms reported in the United States in the past week. Weather across much of the country has actually trended quieter compared to the climatological average for late September. According to recent insights from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, much of the energy in the atmosphere has been dominated by tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic and the Pacific basin, rather than the mid-latitude storm systems that typically drive major derechos here at home.

While experimental weather modeling at NSF NCAR has impressively captured early signs of cyclones and extreme rainfall elsewhere—including the forecast and rapid development of Super Typhoon Ragasa over the Pacific—such long-lived squall lines responsible for US derechos simply haven’t materialized since the beginning of this week. Furthermore, the National Weather Service and leading forecasting outlets such as FOX Weather haven’t issued any derecho warnings, watches, or reports of structurally damaging thunderstorm wind events across the US in the past seven days.

It is worth noting that sections of Michigan did see some strong thunderstorms early in the week, as Mix 95.7 in West Michigan reports, but these were localized storms without the organization, speed, or intensity required to classify as a derecho. Instead, the main concerns from these systems have mostly shifted to impacts like minor flooding and the potential for a chilly, early snow, rather than the devastating wind damage characteristic of a true derecho.

With the Atlantic hurricane season near its annual peak, the focus has shifted towards tracking tropical systems such as Hurricane Gabrielle and newly formed threats like Hurricane Humberto, as discussed by weather enthusiasts on Storm2K forums. While these storms can sometimes spawn damaging squall lines if they impact the mainland US, this past week has been free of that particular threat for much of the country.
