# No Derechos Reported This Week as Severe Weather Season Approaches

Listeners, in the past week leading up to February 26, 2026, no confirmed derechos or widespread, long-lived destructive windstorms from lines of rapidly moving thunderstorms have struck the United States. According to the Storm Prediction Center and NOAA reports highlighted by AOL, recent severe weather has focused on scattered February tornado risks in the South and Midwest, with no mentions of derechos. CBS2 Iowa notes a new forecasting tool for severe weather intensity launching March 2, using the 2020 Iowa derecho as an example, but nothing current. AccuWeather details ongoing storms shifting through the Southeast with heavy rain, gusty winds, and flash flooding risks from Kentucky to Florida this weekend, yet these are typical thunderstorm lines without the sustained 58 mph-plus winds defining a derecho. AOL confirms February tornadoes remain rare, averaging low dozens, with 2025 activity in the Southeast but no windstorm outbreaks this week. Social media and weather outlets like The National Weather Desk discuss blizzard cleanup, not derechos. While straight-line winds from fast-moving squalls pose hazards, as noted by meteorologist Rob Shackelford on weather.com, no events meet the criteria in the last seven days. Stay prepared as severe weather season ramps up. 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.
