"The I-94 Derecho"

http://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/AbtDerechos/casepages/jul191983page.htm

In other cases, the progressive derecho and associated bow echo system begin relatively small, with a narrow path, but over time grow to exceed 250 miles in width. The line of thunderstorms of a progressive derecho often begins as a single bow echo that evolves into a short squall line, typically with more than one embedded bowing segment. Such development occurred with the "I-94 Derecho" over the north central United States on July 19, 1983..Some of the most intense summer derechos, especially those of the progressive type, occur on the fringes of major heat waves. Examples include the July 1983 "I-94" derecho in the upper Mississippi Valley

"The Utah / Wyoming Derecho of May 31, 1994"

a derecho-producing convective system appears below. This particular event (May 31, 1994) occurred in a relatively dry environment over Utah and western Wyoming..Low dewpoint derechos most often occur between late fall and early spring in association with strong low pressure systems, and are a form of serial derecho. The May 31, 1994 Utah-Wyoming derecho shown in the animated satellite loop in Derecho Development is an example of a low dewpoint event. This system produced a 105 mph wind gust at Provo, Utah, where sixteen people were injured, and tore off part of the roof of the Saltair Pavilion on the Great Salt Lake. A wind gust of 140 mph was measured on Camel Back Mountain in nearby Dugway Proving Ground. The derecho occurred in an environment where average surface dewpoints were around 45 °F







Some of the most intense summer derechos, especially those of the progressive type, occur on the fringes of major heat waves. Examples include the Mid-July 1995 derechos in New York and Canada..

The second type of derecho is called a progressive derecho. These are associated with a relatively short line of thunderstorms (typically from 40 miles to 250 miles in length) that may at times take the shape of a single bow echo, particularly in the early stages of development. In some cases, the width of a progressive derecho and its associated bow echo system remain relatively narrow even though they may travel for hundreds of miles.

Derechos typically strike the lower Midwest states once every year, according to the SPC. The occurrence of derechos, however, are quite rare across the mid-Atlantic, south of Philadelphia. On average, this region endures a derecho once every four years.


A "super derecho" of violent thunderstorms left a more than 700-mile trail of destruction across the Midwest and mid-Atlantic on Friday, cutting power to millions and killing thirteen people.

More than 600 damaging wind reports were received by NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) as the derecho took roughly 12 hours to race from northern Indiana to the southern mid-Atlantic coast.

Winds gusted to 91 mph (equal to that of a category 1 hurricane) at the Fort Wayne International Airport, Ind., Friday afternoon.

As the derecho maintained its violent nature, an 81 mph gust was then measured at Tuckerton, on the southern New Jersey coast, early Saturday morning
