Summary

The 11 day sequence was a disastrous 11 day stretch of severe weather throughout the United States that came from multiple storm systems training one after the other during the year 2025. The main Event lasted a total of 11 days with only 4 days not having a high risk. A record number of tornadoes touched down including a unprecedented amount of EF4's and EF5's. Other than tornadoes, massive hail, extreme winds, deadly lightning and massive flooding ensued. Another problem was that many strong tornadoes hit heavily populated towns and city causing never before scene destruction. Much of the United States was effected. For 7 of the 11 days a high risk was in place and it was the first time a day 3 high risk had been issued. A large amount of PDS Tornado Watches were issued and a breathtaking amount of Tornado Emergency's were issued. Luckily due to amazing forecasting and great public action, not a single fatality occurred.

The Tornado Outlook for June 20, 2025

The Hail Outlook for June 20, 2025

The Wind Outlook for June 20, 2025

Summary: Day one was the first of many destructive days to follow. A large High risk was places for much of the southern plains and Florida began its eleven day streak of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms. Florida would later call a state of emergency due not only to tornadoes and severe storms, but from extreme flooding from relentless rain. A fairly large 45% hatched risk of tornadoes was in place for parts of Texas as well a threat for large hail and destructive wind gusts. Many tornadoes touched down, including several EF4 and EF5 ones. Reports of hail ranged from pea sized (0.25 inches) to around tennis ball size (2.25 inches). Wind reports of 50 to 60 MPH were common in several areas with a few reports clocking the wind at 70 to 80 MPH with one report noting a 92 MPH gust in northern portions of Houston. Due to very heavy rainfall, severe flooding occurred in parts.

Hail Outlook for June 22, 2025

Summary: A very large Moderate risk was issued for parts of the eastern and south eastern United States. The main threats would be damaging wind and tornadoes, but some hail would occur as well.
