# No Derechos Yet, But Severe Weather Possible This Weekend

About this episode

The episode discusses the lack of derechos in the past week and the potential for severe weather in Texas.

Listeners, in the past week leading up to April 9, 2026, no confirmed derechos or widespread, long-lived destructive windstorms from lines of rapidly moving thunderstorms have struck the United States. Texas Storm Chasers reports increased storm chances across Texas this weekend and into next week, with potential for hail, damaging winds, and heavy rain in some severe storms, but nothing classified yet as a derecho. The City of Houston's housing department document from April 9 mentions ongoing recovery from the 2024 Derecho and Hurricane Beryl, highlighting its lasting impact on public services like homeless programs funded by HUD CDBG, yet no new events in the last seven days. Forecasts from sources like Texas Storm Chasers indicate a risk of severe weather patterns that could evolve into stronger wind events, but as of now, the National Weather Service has not issued watches for derechos. Keep an eye on updates from local meteorologists, as conditions can change quickly in spring across the Plains and South. Thank you for tuning in, listeners. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Some great Deals…
