Heavy rainfall from scattered thunderstorms is expected across the Southwest, Intermountain West, and Plains. Isolated dry thunderstorms may initiate additional fires across the west. The coastal Carolinas may experience flash floods in the coming days due to repeated thunderstorms. Additionally, a wave of intense summer heat will hit the Southern Plains and central Gulf Coast States this week. Read More >
Overview
|
On the afternoon of 12 April 2022, convection began across south central South Dakota. Storms quickly became severe, and then weakened as they approached the eastern boarder of South Dakota. They re-intensified as they crossed into Minnesota, and began to form in northwestern Iowa. Several storms produced large hail up to baseball size. Strong winds were common with these storms as well. |
