Overview
|
A summary of the severe weather that occurred on August 11th, 2026, including the afternoon Derecho. |
Derecho
Per SPC at 5:07 PM EDT 8/11/26: "The MCS that moved from eastern Iowa to northern Indiana today has been preliminarily confirmed as a derecho. Based on the preliminary information thus far it began around 12Z this morning and continued to at least 1725 UTC (although will be evaluated later if the continuation to near Cincinnati may be included). The maximum measured gust received thus far was 86 kts (99 mph) in Gary, Indiana. Just a reminder that official 2026 derechos will be confirmed in 2027 once 2026 storm data has been finalized, but events such as this where we feel confident to confirm it as a preliminary derecho will likely have no problem maintaining the objective criteria once final storm data is released."

Tornadoes
As of 8/11/2026 at 10:47 pm EDT, there have been no reports of tornadoes in the IWX CWA. The map below contains reports as confirmed on August 11th, 2026 as far west as IA. There was a funnel cloud report from Jay County around 7:55 AM 8/11/2026 east of Portland, but there was no touchdown confirmed or any tornado-like damage reported in that area.
Select a tornado from the table to zoom into the track and view more information. The default table view is limited to 8 tracks, but can be scrolled by a mouse wheel or dynamically expanded. Additionally, the table can fill the entire window by clicking the small circular expanding arrow icon at the very top right of the table and returned to its original size by clicking the button again.
