The 2026 NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships are set to begin! These are the current NCAA Division I women’s records, ordered from oldest to newest. How long will Missy Franklin’s long-standing 200 freestyle NCAA record last?
Here's a look at the highest gusts recorded across the area today. The peak gust was 109 mph along I-25 south of Chugwater. The 92 mph gust measured at the Cheyenne airport broke the all time record (since mid 1990s) for the station's strongest measured wind gust. #wywx #newx
I'm gonna go ahead and release this here, as there seems to be some discourse since it was not well documented, as @Tornado_Warned and I were the only chasers with a view of the Kankakee, IL Tornado as it morphed from a stout stovepipe to a large wedge. We were northbound on a road, looking south of the tornado, while most high-profile chasers were to the SW of the tornado at the time. This tornado turned into a rapidly widening tornado and was cloaked by RFD, moving directly into Aroma Park. This tornado spooked me to a degree as I was anticipating it to be moving more NE vs due East. Otherwise, this would have been a very close-range intercept. After this, the tornado became wrapped from our view before blasting east. I'll release a video of the Satellite with an evil El Reno-like Meso here later.
