That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

Meteorologist Jesse Kelley is excited to join the talented staff at Weather Nation. Jesse spent most of his childhood in Birmingham, Alabama. The state of Alabama is prone to seeing various types of weather from severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and winter weather. For college, Jesse attended the University of South Alabama where he received his degree in Broadcast Meteorology along with minors in Math and Geography. From Alabama, Jesse started his broadcast television working three years at KAVU-TV in Victoria. Recently, he finished a stint in Shreveport, LA. Jesse and his wife are looking forward to making the Rocky Mountains and Colorado home.

<p>On the heels of an active opening week to Meteorological Spring, another threat of severe weather will be in the cards for the first half of next week. So remember the upper low that caused severe weather this past weekend, the other half of the low will arrive starting Monday.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/New Baron Video 3-1772915032131.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p></p><p>Severe weather outlooks are already in place from Monday to Wednesday. Monday, the severe storms will be possible in the Deep South and expand northward as the upper low advances east. Some of the same areas from Texas into the Great Lakes will be at play for additional severe weather Tuesday and Wednesday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/1png-1772914586920.png"></p><p>In addition, more heavy rain and flooding will be possible as the grounds are already saturated from the past week storms.

Another Round of Severe Weather Likely Next Week

<p>A powerful early-March storm system unleashed a widespread severe weather outbreak across parts of the Plains and Midwest, producing tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail that left several communities dealing with significant destruction. The storms developed as warm, moisture-rich air surged north from the Gulf and collided with a strong cold front moving across the central United States. The combination of instability and strong wind shear created an environment favorable for intense thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes.<span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)">&nbsp;</span></p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/2026-03-07 04-44-42-1772883932550.mkv" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p></p><p>Severe storms erupted across several states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas,, and Illinois before tracking farther north into the Midwest and Great Lakes. Millions of people were placed under severe weather alerts as powerful thunderstorms developed along the advancing storm system. Some storms quickly intensified into supercells, capable of producing tornadoes and very large hail.<span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)">&nbsp;</span></p><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="2030128965650694479" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/2030128965650694479"></div><p>One of the hardest hit areas was southern Michigan, where tornadoes damaged homes and buildings and caused multiple fatalities. Emergency crews responded to widespread damage after storms tore through communities overnight, leaving debris scattered across neighborhoods and knocking out power to thousands. In addition to the tornado threat, storms produced destructive straight-line winds and hail large enough to cause damage to vehicles, roofs and windows.<span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)">&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="2030093575778635918" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/2030093575778635918"></div><p>Some of the storms produced hail larger than three inches in diameter along with wind gusts exceeding 70 miles per hour. Heavy rainfall also accompanied the storms, raising concerns for localized flooding in some areas.<span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)">&nbsp;</span></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/Screenshot 2026-03-07 044225-1772883756529.png"></p><p>&nbsp;The outbreak is notable because it occurred relatively early in the severe weather season and impacted a broad portion of the country from the Southern Plains to the Great Lakes. As the storm system continues to push east, an additional round of strong to severe thunderstorms could develop in parts of the eastern United States before conditions gradually improve.<span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)">&nbsp;</span></p>

<p><span>Spring is almost here, yet it feels like summer. Unseasonably warm temperatures are spreading across much of the United States as a powerful ridge of high pressure builds over large portions of the country, sending temperatures soaring well above seasonal averages. </span></p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/2026-03-07 10-24-47-1772904314598.mkv" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p></p><p><span>From the Plains to the Midwest and parts of the East Coast, many cities are experiencing spring-like warmth more typical of late April or even early May. In some locations, temperatures have climbed into the 70s and 80s, shattering daily and even monthly records as warm air surges northward.</span><span style="color: rgb(36, 36, 36)">&nbsp;</span><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/1-1772854131866.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/1png-1772854022901.png"></p><p><span>The unusual warmth is being driven by a large dome of high pressure in the upper atmosphere, which is allowing warm air from the southern U.S. and Gulf region to spread across the country. This pattern not only boosts daytime temperatures but also keeps overnight lows unusually mild, limiting the amount of cooling that normally occurs this time of year. In several cities, early morning temperatures have been closer to typical afternoon highs for early March.</span></p><p>The potential for record-breaking temperatures shifts east as we head through the weekend.

Some locations have approached or exceeded long-standing records that have stood for decades. </span></p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/Screenshot 2026-03-07 105032-1772905871811.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/Screenshot 2026-03-07 105015-1772905871806.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/03/Screenshot 2026-03-07 105024-1772905871809.png"></p><p><span>While the record-breaking heat may feel like an early taste of spring, it is unlikely to last indefinitely.
