Severe Thunderstorms Expected Across Multiple U.S. Regions

Severe Thunderstorms Expected Across Multiple U.S. Regions

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms for parts of the Great Basin, Central Plains, and Midwest/Great Lakes regions through the evening of August 31, 2026. These storms are associated with an occluded upper low moving eastward from Manitoba and Alberta, combined with a low-amplitude shortwave trough over the Central Plains. Enhanced mid-level westerly flow and a moist, unstable air mass are contributing to the potential for severe weather. Key threats include damaging winds, hail, and isolated supercells, particularly in areas such as eastern Wisconsin, lower Michigan, and western New York. Additionally, thunderstorms in the Central Plains and Great Basin may produce strong downdraft winds and occasional hail.

Potential Tropical Storm May Bring Heavy Rain and Coastal Flooding to Southern California

Potential Tropical Storm May Bring Heavy Rain and Coastal Flooding to Southern California

Meteorologists are closely monitoring a developing storm system, currently named 95-E, in the eastern Pacific Ocean near the Baja California peninsula. If it strengthens into a tropical storm, it will be named Marie. The National Weather Service (NWS) in San Diego notes that the storm is unlikely to maintain hurricane or tropical storm status by the time it reaches Southern California. However, it could bring significant moisture, heavy showers, thunderstorms, and dangerous coastal waves over the Labor Day weekend. Coastal flooding is a concern, particularly with high tides expected on Saturday and Sunday. The storm is part of an active hurricane season in the eastern Pacific, potentially influenced by a developing El Niño weather pattern (Los Angeles Times, 2026-09-01).

Severe Thunderstorms and Strong Winds Expected in Casper, WY

Residents of Casper, Wyoming, and surrounding areas should prepare for a day of unsettled weather on Saturday, August 29, 2026. According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Riverton, a persistent monsoonal pattern is bringing high atmospheric moisture levels to the region, with dew points in the 50s and precipitable water values nearly double the seasonal average. Strong afternoon and evening thunderstorms are expected across southern and central Wyoming, with localized damaging wind gusts of up to 75 mph, hail, and wet microbursts possible. Cloud cover in the morning may limit instability in some areas, but an approaching cold front will keep the potential for severe weather elevated into the night.

Severe Thunderstorms Expected Across Northern Plains

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued a slight risk of severe thunderstorms for portions of the northern Plains, including southeast Montana, northeast Wyoming, and the central Dakotas, for the afternoon and evening of August 30, 2026. A shortwave trough moving eastward across southern Saskatchewan and western Montana is expected to interact with a moist and unstable airmass, leading to the development of strong to severe thunderstorms.
