Significant Severe Storms Possible Today

Please see the attachment for more information and detailed maps.

Key Messages
● A significant severe weather event is expected late this afternoon through this evening.
● Possible hazards include strong tornadoes (up to EF3), damaging straight line winds, and very large hail over 2 inches in diameter.
● Now is the time to consider where you will be this evening and where you can take shelter.

What Has Changed
● An early morning round of thunderstorms will move through much of the region. Large hail is possible.
● The threat of very large hail in excess of 2” in diameter has increased, and the threat of strong tornadoes is now up to EF-3 intensity.

Overview
● Confidence in storm mode has increased.
● It now appears that storms will remain scattered across most of the Quad State.
● Although the storm coverage will likely increase as they move east, supercells are expected to persist through most, if not all, of the event.
● Tornadoes, possibly strong, and very large hail will be the primary concerns for this evening.

Smithland fire wishes to express gratitude to everyone who supported our egg my yard fundraiser. It was our largest order to date. We made 30 stops and delivered a little over 6000 eggs. I also want to publicly acknowledge our members who showed up to assist with delivery. We are very proud of our supporters and members. Happy Easter to each and every one of you.
