Midland-Odessa gang – two severe thunderstorms working through right now! Send us your reports (safely)!

Half dollar-sized hail possible with the storm near Penwell north of Pleasant Farms moving into Odessa.
February 14, 2026 at 4:26 AM
SATURDAY, February 14 will feature the risk of cold-air funnel clouds or brief, weak tornadoes in southern Kansas, much of central/western Oklahoma and the Red River Valley of Texas.

With core of low pressure overhead, a little juice + ample vorticity (spin) could twist up a few weak funnels.

⛈️A few strong to severe thunderstorms are likely across Texas and the South this weekend. On Friday night, a couple hailstorms will form in West Texas. Then they’ll move through the South late Saturday and Sunday. Wind and an isolated tornado will be possible.

This is a Level 1 out of 5 Marginal risk for Midland-Odessa, Ft. Stockton, Alpine, Ft. Davis, Monahans, Big Spring, Andrews, Gardendale, Crane, Rankin and Sanderson.
February 13, 2026 at 5:54 PM
Interestingly, the thunder might be extra loud. Why? Warm air is riding atop our surface cool layer. That warm later aloft acts as a ceiling to the lower atmosphere that the sound of thunder bounces off of. Cool, right!?
February 13, 2026 at 5:54 PM
West Texas and western/central Oklahoma gangs – TONIGHT, Friday night, looks to feature some "elevated" hailstorms.

Storms will form on the cool side of a boundary atop a shallow layer of cool air.

No tornado threat, BUT we'll see a few cells with quarter- to half dollar-sized hail possible.
February 13, 2026 at 5:54 PM
It's quiet... too quiet...

Tornado season ramps up markedly a month from now. But for the time being, enjoy the quiescence...
February 13, 2026 at 5:37 PM
Most of the storm cells will form behind the boundary on the cool side. That means no real tornado threat, but instead these will be "elevated" hailers. (Elevated means rooted in milder air above a cool layer near the ground).

A few of the stronger storms could produce hail larger than quarters.
February 12, 2026 at 3:48 PM
We're expecting weak low pressure to form along a frontal boundary draped across the area, allowing for scattered showers/thunderstorms to form. The main limiting factor is that there isn't a ton of moisture (it is the cool season after all).
February 12, 2026 at 3:48 PM
This is a Level 1 out of 5 Marginal risk for Midland-Odessa, Ft. Stockton, Alpine, Ft. Davis, Monahans, Big Spring, Andrews, Gardendale, Crane, Rankin and Sanderson.

We're thinking this will be an after dark event, so Friday night don't be surprised for some thunder/lightning or isolated hail.
February 12, 2026 at 3:48 PM
West Texas update for FRIDAY, February 13 – we still anticipate a few isolated hailstorms Friday night in West Texas and the Permian Basin. Only isolated severe thunderstorms are expected, but hail up to quarter or half dollar size is likely.
February 12, 2026 at 3:48 PM
Ugh. After striking Madagascar as a Category 3 equivalent, Cyclone Gezani is AGAIN rapidly intensifying – this time over the Mozambique Channel.

It will come precariously close to Guinjata, on Mozambique's Manta Coast. We don't think a second landfall is likely though.
February 12, 2026 at 2:12 PM
A great reminder that we display TFRs in the MyRadar app. Just select our aviation layer mapping!

(Incidentally, all related TFRs in Texas have been lifted. What was initially believed to be a malicious adversarial drone was later found to be a party balloon per local media.)
Double confirmed. (Via @myradar.bsky.social Pro iOS app)

FRIDAY, February 13 could feature some isolated severe weather in West Texas and the Permian Basin. The main hazard is quarter-sized hail.

This is a Level 1 out of 5 Marginal risk for Midland-Odessa, Ft. Stockton, Alpine, Ft. Davis, Monahans, Big Spring, Andrews, Gardendale, Rankin and Sanderson.
February 11, 2026 at 6:33 PM
Cyclone Gezani slammed Madagascar on Tuesday night as a Category 3 equivalent. Much of the city of Toamasina is only 9-12 feet above sea level.
February 11, 2026 at 6:32 PM
Early signs for some severe weather on SATURDAY, February 14 over central/east Texas, particularly along and east of I-35. LA and perhaps SW AR risk too.

An approaching upper-air disturbance will kink the jet stream, causing a dip known as a "trough". Ahead of it, warm, humid air will waft north.
February 11, 2026 at 6:32 PM
Look at the eye of Gezani begin to shrink as it moves ashore in Madagascar.

This is because the storm is weakening a bit, so the eye will soon "fill in."

Plus friction on land slows down the rate at which warm, humid air can spiral into the eyewall.
February 10, 2026 at 5:44 PM
WOW! Cyclone Gezani has swallowed the entire city of Toamasina, Madagascar – home to 326,000 people.

The whole city is in Gezani's eye right now!

The worst flooding will be to the left, or south, of the center. That's because the storm is in the southern hemisphere and is swirling clockwise.
February 10, 2026 at 5:31 PM
Cyclone Gezani, a Category 3-equivalent beast, is making landfall in Toamasina, Madagascar with maximum winds of 125 mph.

The city is home to about 326,000 people. Its average elevation is 11 feet.

Serious, severe coastal flooding is expected.

Can’t believe we have to say this for FLORIDA, but snow squalls are serious.

A snow squall is a brief but intense burst of heavy snow and strong winds that can suddenly reduce visibility to near zero and create dangerously slick roads in just minutes.

Be safe and stay warm!
January 31, 2026 at 1:30 PM
Truly a surreal model output here from the high resolution NAM.

The dark blue is SNOW (a SNOW SQUALL at that) near Tampa early Sunday morning (around 2 AM).

What we normally see in Buffalo, NY seems highly likely in FLORIDA but instead of the Great Lakes, it’s the Gulf!

A rapidly strengthening nor’easter is likely to become a bomb cyclone this weekend.

Meteorologist @mikelinden.bsky.social says the storm may stay mostly offshore, limiting snow for the I-95 corridor but the Carolinas are still in line for heavy snow and blizzard conditions.
