Big Story Weather from April 9: Yesterday was a very active day with our storm in the Plains. We had hail falling with snow at the same time from thundersnow across parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and with Nebraska. We actually at one time had a winter storm warning and tornado warning for the same county in Nebraska. A few snowfall totals so far. One comes from Western South Dakota where snowfall amounts reached around 13 inches. Another comes from Western Nebraska where snow drifts reached over 6 feet tall. Freezing rain was another problem with this storm. Places like Sioux Falls South Dakota picked up about 0.5 inches of freezing rain, damaging trees and making travel impossible. Severe weather reports included hail from Texas to Minnesota and also wind damage in Iowa.
Big Story Weather Discussion for April 10: High pressure in Southern Canada will bring partly cloudy skies to the Northeast. The low pressure area will move out towards Missouri. There will be another day of rain from Chicago to Cleveland and thunderstorms from Southern Illinois all the way to the Gulf Coast. Some severe weather is expected along the southern portion of the front. More heavy snow will be found on the back side across the Rockies, Northern Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and the Northern Plains spreading into Minnesota and the Western Lakes. A few showers will also be possible over the Northwest.
