# No Derechos in Past Week as Severe Storms Loom for California

Listeners, in the past week leading up to February 28, 2026, no confirmed derechos or widespread, long-lived destructive windstorms from lines of rapidly moving thunderstorms have struck the United States. According to AOL News, a very significant and dangerous severe storm is forecast for early next week, with a level 2 out of 4 flash flood risk from Monday into Tuesday morning across a broad area from Los Angeles northward to Monterey, California, but this involves potential flooding rather than derecho winds.

Cleanup from earlier severe storms continues across a swath of the southern United States, as reported by Iowa PBS's Market to Market features, though these events predate the last seven days and weren't classified as derechos. KHOU 11 in Houston recently noted Meteorologist Pat Cavlin covering past derechos like the one in Texas before his departure, but nothing current matches the criteria.

Older references, such as Market to Market's mentions of storms cutting an 800-mile path or tornadoes ahead of schedule, fall well outside our seven-day window and don't specify recent derechos. Social media scans and weather outlets like these show no active or recent episodes fitting the destructive, long-track thunderstorm windstorm profile in the US right now.

Stay prepared as severe weather risks evolve, especially with the upcoming California event. 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.
