<p>Severe chances have been easy to find in the past week or two. The month of March was littered with them to close and that's spilling right into April. A slow-moving frontal boundary will focus multiple days of storms, which will lead to a flooding threat. On top of torrential rain, these storms could be packing damaging winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes. We're here to break it down by the day.</p><h1>TUESDAY</h1><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/tomer svr plains tonight-1743549456729.jpg">Today's an interesting one. While this system gets its act together, there are some severe ingredients to work with. This kinda boils down to two different areas to watch: (1) the cold front and (2) the dryline. The cold front will have a better time to generating thunderstorms vs a dryline.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot 2025-04-01 063753-1743511104968.jpg">IF storms develop in Oklahoma or Texas along the dryline, they will be capable of producing HUGE hail and a strong tornado.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/tomer plains futurecast-1743549411485.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>WEDNESDAY</h1><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot 2025-04-01 135153-1743537145398.png"></p><p>As it stands, Wednesday is the closest to a severe weather outbreak this week. A well-built front will gradually slide east throughout the day. By the afternoon, all of the ingredients will be in place, helping power storms capable of large hail, damaging winds, and multiple tornadoes.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot 2025-04-01 135209-1743537180402.png"></p><p>Have multiple ways to receive warnings, peak timeframe looks like it will be early afternoon into the overnight hours.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/2025-04-01 06-58-09-1743512321909.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>THURSDAY</h1><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot 2025-04-01 135315-1743537199748.png"></p><p>Thursday is when things slow down. The front responsible for the severe chances on Wednesday will run into some opposition. A building high over the southeast will bring the front to a screeching halt for the second half of the week. Usually, this is where a forecast becomes clear as mud. Without a sure-fire bet to trigger storms, it's hard to nail down when/where severe chances might be. Will it be unusually warm and humid ahead of this boundary? Absolutely. Will ongoing rain limit the severe potential? Maybe. The flooding threat will start to sky-rocket, with or without severe storms.</p><h1>FRIDAY</h1><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot 2025-04-01 064303-1743511392777.jpg"></p><p>See Thursday. This will likely turn into a day-by-day adjustment to severe chances. Have back-up plans here if you're trying to get outside. We've got details to iron out between now and then.</p><p></p><h1>SATURDAY</h1><p>CTRL+C CTRL+V Friday aka Thursday. The flooding threat could be approaching life-threatening levels by now.</p><p></p>

Alana Cameron

Potentially Catastrophic Flooding Likely for the Midsouth

Alana Cameron was born and raised in Canada in the city of Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. Alana is the oldest of 4 siblings, all close in age, and grew up playing outside with them in all types of weather. After graduating high school, Alana moved to study at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna for a year before transferring to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Atmospheric Science. Upon completion, Alana moved back to Toronto where she completed a post-grad degree in Meteorology at York University. After her post-grad, she went on to complete another post-grad in Broadcast Journalism - TV News at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During her final year of studies she had the privilege of interning with the best in the business in Canada at The Weather Network. Once she finished her internship, she got the call from small-town Denison, Texas where she accepted a job as an on-air meteorologist at KTEN-TV, right in tornado alley, covering severe weather from Sherman/Denison (North Texas) to Ada (Southern Oklahoma). After the most active tornado season Oklahoma had seen in May 2019 (105 tornadoes!) Alana is excited to join WeatherNation to cover weather all across the nation.

<p>Powerful storms raced through the Midwest and down to the Gulf Coast coming out of this weekend. Sunday afternoon into Monday morning, a strong line of storms spurred numerous Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and quite a few Tornado Warnings. Those storms produced hundreds of reports of damage, with a few tornadoes touching down. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot 2025-04-01 055103-1743508412691.jpg">One of those was early Monday morning as a segment of the line started to spin in southern Mississippi.

<p><strong>GREAT LAKES to NORTHEAST </strong>- As the freezing line hovers the international border, an ice storm continues to bring issues from the Great Lakes through the Northeast.
