The 2026 crop begins to emerge out at the Champaign, IL Innovation Farm. Looking forward to watching these little babies weather the weather through rest of the growing season!

It's been an exceptionally difficult spring for farmers in Nebraska and Kansas. The past week finally brought soaking rains to drought-stricken areas, but it was accompanied by damaging severe storms, while others missed out. Areas of corn/soybean replant likely due to big hail.

Four different global forecast models, four very different forecasts for the 1st day of June. Which one is correct? None of 'em, probably. We remain in a period of very low predictability exiting "spring" and transitioning into early summer across North America.

A fast-moving QLCS or bowing storm cluster is likely to produce widespread damaging winds and a few tornadoes across portions of NE, SD, MN, IA this evening, with more uncertain, isolated storm potential along the Kansas dryline. Read my latest analysis: ag-wx.com/v3/severe

Dangerous weather day ahead with a fast-moving QLCS producing significant wind damage and a couple tornadoes in the Missouri Valley, isolated dryline supercells in Kansas, and extreme fire danger in the Southern Plains. Read my latest analysis here: ag-wx.com/v3/severe

Get run over by a fast-moving, potentially tornadic QLCS in the Missouri Valley, or patiently await a hypothetical evening supercell on the dryline late this evening? My latest Storm Observation target thoughts ahead of a busy weather day on the Plains: www.skydrama.net/post/big-mea...

The I-80 corridor from Omaha to Des Moines might be a nice place to sit and wait for a late-evening supercell and tornado before storms congeal into an outflow-dominant cluster with 70+ mph gusts after dark. My latest Storm Observation Target discussion: www.skydrama.net/post/multi-d...

Isolated supercells may pose an initial risk of a tornado or two from Omaha to Mason City late this evening, with a transition toward a fast-moving, outflow dominant MCS early tonight. Read more in my latest severe wx blog at ag-wx dot com: ag-wx.com/v3/severe

I saw the original Twister movie was released on this date in 1996, which means I (and others) witnessed a tornado at Wakita, OK (famed city from the movie) on the Twister release date anniversary back in 2010. I didn’t realize that until today I guess! youtu.be/7vfwXLUrH0U?...

Weather and climate information is primarily reported in English. When severe weather warnings are misunderstood or misinterpreted, the consequences can be serious. Language barriers can put non-English speaking communities at risk during emergencies. Dr. Trujillo-Falcón talks to Weather Realness.

Severe weather warnings are meant to save lives. But what happens when non-english speakers are unable to understand them?

Lots of boundaries that could initiate a couple of significant supercells producing tornadoes, hail, high winds Tuesday PM, but a cap may keep a lid on things through much of the day. Read more on this conditional, potentially dangerous storm risk here: ag-wx.com/v3/severe
