Good morning,
Well, it has been a long four weeks of severe weather and flooding.
Here are some of the crest forecasts.
.
Here are some of the radar-estimated rain totals. A historic event for some countries.
Those areas in white experienced ten or more inches of rain.
.
This system broke another record, as well.
.
Check out the tornado count for 2025, mostly in our region of the country.
And spring is just starting. Let’s hope the rest of spring is kinder to us.
From Ben Noll
There have been a remarkable 430 tornadoes reported across the United States so far this year. That’s well above the year-to-date average of 250. Since 2010, only 2023 and 2017 had more tornadoes year-to-date. The Plains have had far fewer tornadoes than average this year.
Here’s the tornado count per state:
Mississippi 81
Missouri 55
Illinois 45
Alabama 40
Arkansas 29
Indiana 27
Louisiana 21
Texas 20
Kentucky 19
Tennessee 19
.
Here were the three biggest severe weather events.
March 6th event
.
March 14th event
.
April 2nd event.
More tornadoes will be added to this. The NWS is still conducting surveys.
.
The GREAT news is that it will be calm today.
It will be chilly.
There is a freeze warning for the region tonight.
The Missouri Bootheel and northwest Tennessee are in a frost advisory. The rest of the area is under a freeze warning.
Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s and lower 30s. Brrr.
It will be chilly on Tuesday night, as well. Frost is also possible.
Clouds will increase on Wednesday afternoon and night. There will be a cold front pushing back into the region.
We have a chance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday night into Thursday night. Peak Chances will arrive on Thursday.
At this time, severe weather appears unlikely. I can’t completely rule out the Storm Prediction Center placing our region in a low level one risk of severe weather, but the threat appears minimal.
I will monitor it.
Rainfall totals will be on the light side.
Dry conditions return Friday through Sunday. Cool to warm temperatures.
I am watching a few systems between April 15th and 25th.
