    Significant Severe Weather Threat for Friday, April 17th

    April 17, 2026 Archive
    Facebook Twitter Email

    An amplified shortwave trough is forecast to work across the Plains into the Midwest today as a substantial warm sector develops northward.

    In response, convection is expected to initiate after 1pm ahead of a cold front capable of very large hailstones, damaging straight-line gusts of 60-80 mph and a few tornadoes.

    A more notable tornado risk may also evolve with any pre-frontal discrete cells that initiate early this afternoon from east/northeast Iowa into Wisconsin, where conditions will favor rotating updrafts

    The primary complex of activity will shift eastward this evening, with a lingering damaging wind threat continuing downstream into Illinois this evening before gradually waning late tonight.
