Serial derecho blows through

ELDORA – Last Wednesday’s wild weather brought several warnings from high winds to thunderstorms to tornadoes. State Climatologist Justin Glisan said the storm may also be classified as a “serial derecho.”

“We’re still toying around with the term derecho,” Glisan said. “It matches the definition of a derecho, but there’s two types - a serial and a progressive derecho. The Aug. 10, 2020, event, which was the costliest storm in history, was a progressive derecho.”
