The extreme weather that hit north-central states last week has been classified as a serial derecho — the first on record in December.
A line of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes that swept across the north-central U.S. last week was the result of a serial derecho — the first on record in December, officials with the National Weather Service said.
Bunting said Monday that at least 12 of the tornadoes were rated EF2 in intensity, meaning winds between 113 mph and 157 mph. Many of the thunderstorms also carried winds of up to 80 mph. Five deaths were blamed on the weather. A derecho is often described as an inland hurricane. But it has no eye, and its winds come across in a line. The similarity is in the damage, which is likely to spread over a wide area, unlike a tornado, where the damage is more spotty.A new study says winter tornadoes are likely to be stronger and stay on the ground longer as the world warms.
There was a difference: The August 2020 storm was a progressive derecho, but last week’s was a serial derecho.
