ALABAMA, North
NWS ground surveys supplemented by the use a NOAA ARL UAS, a private UAS provided through a NOAA contractor, and NASA SPoRT high-resolution satellite imagery determined the tornado touched down approximately .67 miles southwest of the intersection of Indian Hill Road Northeast and Roberts Catfish Lane in Hartselle. Multiple hardwood trees were snapped at the beginning of the tornado track. From there, the tornado damaged several mobile homes on Roberts Catfish Lane. One of the mobile homes rolled 45-50 yards to the northeast after snapping all 6 of the tie-downs that anchored the home. The unit was mostly destroyed with the frame of the structure still largely intact. The second mobile home at this location separated from its porch and was shifted off its foundation about 10 feet. A wooden tin carport structure housing lawn and farm equipment was partially destroyed, with pieces of the wood embedded in the ground around the mobile homes. A small sedan parked at the second mobile home was lifted and had the front end embedded briefly in the ground, tearing off the front bumper, which was found 10 feet away. debris from these buildings was found half a mile to the northeast from this location at the next area of damage surveyed. Path width at this location was about 50 yards.
About half a mile northeast, just west of interstate 65 on Bethel Circle Northeast, widespread tree damage was surveyed. Large hardwood trees about 2 feet in diameter were found snapped, sheared and twisted off about 10-15 feet from their bases. Multiple trees had the bark twisted off and strewn about the forest. Of the few homes that were within the tree damage area, only minor damage was noted to a couple of the houses. Most of this damage was from siding being blown off or from trees directly clipping the edge of a roof as they fell. The vast majority of the tree damage at this location was on property along Village Branch Cree behind the homes. Path width at this location was about 200 yards.
The tornado appeared to lift briefly before setting down again along Bethel Road near the intersection with Spring Valley Road, just east of Interstate 65. Several trees were uprooted at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church, and several gravestones were pushed over or broken. Numerous pine trees were snapped in a clear, coherent path as the tornado continued to the northeast.
Tree damage became more consistent and widespread along Shoal Creek Road and White Oak Drive. Hundreds of softwood and hardwood trees were snapped and uprooted in this general area, and there was some minor structural damage to a few single family homes. The tree damage was more widespread as the tornado moved into the Autumn Wood Trail area. Trees fell onto a single family home and damaged it. The most significant structural damage occurred near the intersection of Thompson Lane and Peach Orchard Road. IN this area, multiple sheds were completely destroyed and most of the shingles on the roof of a single family home were torna off. Once again, numerous pine trees were snapped. The tornado appeared to weaken slightly as it moved towards Uper River Road. There was some modest tree damage in a field east of Thomson Lane, and many of the shingles on the roof of a single family home were damaged or removed. The tornado continued northeast to Turkey Mountain, Road, where it snapped several more trees and pushed a double-wide mobile home off its piers and damage the roof. Based on damage viewed from Turkey Mountain Road, it is believed that the tornado continued to near the Tennessee River. Limestone County 2 SSE New Hope 31 2112CST 2114CST 0.23 160 0 0 Tornado (EF0)
There was enough evidence to suggest that the tornado continued through northern Morgan County and crossed the Tennessee River into extreme SE Limestone County. A supplemental survey completed by the University Alabama Huntsville determined that the tornado did cross the river during its dissipation stage, and produced minor tree damage along the river bank in Limestone County. The damage associated with the weakening tornado was comparable to weak EF-0 damage. There was minor damage recorded slightly further downstream, however that damage did not meet EF-0 criteria. Therefore, the official tornado tracked was ceased at the river bank on the Limestone County side.
Supercell and multi-cell cluster thunderstorms affected much of the Tennessee Valley in advance of a strong cold front during the late afternoon and evening hours of the 31st. One of the cells produced an EF-2 tornado in Morgan County and extreme southeastern Limestone County.

A classic heavy rain pattern set up over the Mid-South during the period of March 9th, 2016 to March 13th, 2016. A cold front stretched from Nebraska to Texas on the morning of March 8th. The front moved southeastward and stalled across Southeast Missouri as an upper level low remained stationary over Texas. A very moist atmosphere was in place over the Mid-South south of this boundary. Several weak low pressure centers developed and moved along the stalled front. As a result, periods of heavy rain, up to an inch per hour in some cases, fell over the same locations. Over the several day stretch, the front fluctuated at times shifting the heaviest band of rain. The storm total rainfall over the 5 day period ranged from four to ten inches. The heavy rain caused widespread flash flooding and many roads were closed as a result. In addition, numerous streams and small rivers overflowed their banks.

Quite a bit of damage was done to the facility as it took a direct hit. Several large sections of the outer fence were torn down. Five buildings on the south side of the complex sustained roof damage where shingles and sheet paper were removed. The gym building, a metal structure, was heavily damaged where a large section of wall was removed. The main building of the complex suffered roof damage where roughly half of the roof was lifted or had parts removed. The roof is not a typical roof; it has several layers. Large portions of the foam insulation were pulled out along with several sections of a thin roof covering. A couple of the guard watch towers had the windows blown out and some minor damage. One employee was injured trying to exit a tower and broke a leg. The tornado then moved into a wooded area, where trees were snapped and a metal carport was thrown and destroyed. As the tornado crossed Highway 35, many more trees were damaged. One home sustained minor roof damage on the south side of the highway. The tornado crossed US Highway 65 and snapped more trees. It then continued through a large wooded area and farmland and it moved into Desha County. It then crossed Highway 159 where many more trees were snapped and uprooted. Where it crossed Highway 159, a home sustained some minor roof damage and had the wood framed shed destroyed. A few power lines were down here as well. The tornado continued northeast into a wooded area where more trees were damaged. Though the tornado likely dissipated a bit farther east, no access was available to that area due to flooding. The total path length was 9.2 miles, with 2.6 miles of that in Desha County. The maximum estimated winds were 105 mph.
Chicot County 1 WSW Lake Vlg 13 2111CST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K Hail (1.00) Penny to quarter sized hail occurred along Highway 82 by the lake.
As high pressure over the East Coast refused to move, a storm system approached the ArkLaMiss from the west and stalled just to the west of the region on March 7th. While warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico filtered north and encompassed the region, a series of potent upper level disturbances began lifting northeast across the Lower Mississippi River Valley. This set the stage for multiple rounds of torrential rains that fell almost continuously across the ArkLaMiss from March 8th through March 12th. These prolonged torrential rains resulted in widespread flash flooding and river flooding across the region, with numerous area rivers reaching moderate and major flood stages. Floodwaters damaged numerous homes, businesses, and closed many primary and secondary roads across the region, with some secondary roads washed out. As the storm system finally exited the region late on the 12th, another fast moving, compact storm system followed in its wake during the evening of March 13th. This system brought another round of heavy rain to the Delta region, in addition to several reports of hail and damaging straight line winds. Tornadoes were spawned by this system as well, which included one that affected Chicot County.

This tornado began just east of US Highway 165 and north of Gibson Rd where a 120 ft tall radio antenna was blown over. The tornado continued north paralleling Highway 165. The tornado reached its strongest point just south of Bullock Rd, where a diesel tank was moved several yards through a sod farm and an irrigation pivot was overturned. The tornado lifted about a half mile north of Bullock Rd damaging a few power poles and snapping a tree along a driveway. The maximum estimated winds were 100 mph.

The entire path of this tornado was within a mile of the path of the tornado which occurred on the evening of March 13th. The tornado began on the west side of Dermott just south of W Gaines St, where much of the roof was removed from a home and the carport was blown away. An outbuilding was damaged at this location as well and a pontoon boat was blown several yards. The tornado continued through the center of Dermott intermittently snapping and uprooting trees and breaking a couple utility poles along the path. Minor roof damage occurred at a senior care facility, an abandoned trailer was damaged, and a fence was blown down. On the east side of down, a light pole was blown over at a baseball field and a small billboard was blown over. As the tornado crossed the intersection of AR Highway 35 and US Highway 165, several construction cones were blown away. The tornado reached its strongest point in a field north of Highway 35, where a farm equipment shed was demolished. Heavy foundation blocks and farm trailers were moved. Debris was scattered at least a half mile to the north through fields and across US Highway 165. The tornado lifted shortly thereafter. The maximum estimated winds were 110mph.

Flash flooding occurred throughout the city. A couple of feet of water was over multiple roads.
Widespread severe weather and some flash flooding occurred over the ArkLaMiss region from the evening of March 30th through the evening of March 31st. On March 30th an upper level storm system moved into the region from the Southern Plains. It was accompanied by a slow moving cold front extending from a large surface low across the Central Plains into the middle Mississippi Valley. A warm moisture rich air mass from the Gulf of Mexico moved into the region as a warm front lifted northward on the 30th. A series of potent upper level disturbances crossed the region through the 31st, bringing a rapid increase in wind aloft and resulting in an unstable environment that contained high levels of wind shear. These factors set the stage for flash flooding and several rounds of severe weather. Widespread severe weather occurred with a mix of damaging winds, up to golf ball sized hail, and tornadoes. Two EF-1 Tornadoes occurred in Chicot County, one of which resulted in an injury. Parts of the Delta region experienced flash flooding once again, in areas that had been saturated for much of the month. This aggravated ongoing river flooding as well. The cold front moved across the region on the night of the 31st, thus ending the severe weather from the northwest.

County Road 8 was flooded and closed. A strong upper level low pressure system settled over northern Mexico on March 8th, and became stationary through March 12th as it was cut off from the upper level jet stream, with a blocking upper ridge having developed over Florida and the western Atlantic. Meanwhile, a weak frontal boundary entered the region from the west on the 8th, and became stationary over Deep East Texas, Northwest Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas. Upper level disturbances ejected northeast ahead of the Northern Mexico low pressure system, resulting in periods of showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rainfall to move repeatedly over these areas. The air mass was most unstable on the 8th, where several severe thunderstorms developed and produced wind damage across portions of Northwest and Northcentral Louisiana, as well as East Texas. However, widespread heavy rainfall was relentless along and ahead of the surface front over Deep East Texas, all of North Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas where widespread flash flooding occurred. Numerous roads and bridges were flooded or washed out, homes were flooded, and many high water rescues were required as many drivers drove around barricades and into the flooded roadways. Widespread rainfall amounts of 5-10+ inches fell during the 4 day period across all of Southwest Arkansas, with amounts of 12 -18+ inches across Deep East Texas and all of North Louisiana. Some of the more impressive 5-day rainfall totals were as follows: Locust Ridge RAWS: 11.05, El Dorado: 9.45, Magnolia: 9.39, Lewisville: 7.24, Fouke 5.3 ENE: 7.06, Bluff City RAWS: 6.52.

A potent upper level storm system moved rapidly eastward across the Southern Plains and into the Lower Mississippi Valley during the late afternoon and evening hours of March 13th. Cold air aloft accompanied this upper level trough while surface temperatures warmed well into the 70s ahead of the trough. This resulted in moderate instability across all of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. Multicell thunderstorms and a few discrete supercell thunderstorms developed with the aid of late afternoon heating and most of these storms were prolific hail producers with hail ranging from pea size to near 2 inches in diameter. Low level shear in the atmosphere was sufficient enough as well that some of these storms produced funnel clouds, but none of which touched down as a tornado.

A strong frontal boundary pulled up stationary south of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana during the early morning hours of March 17th. However, an elevated boundary near 850mb was located nearly stationary across the Middle Red River Valley of Northern Texas into Southern Arkansas. Flow aloft was mostly west to east across the Southern Plains at this time but subtle weak disturbances and strong deep layer shear resulted in the development of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of North Central Texas and South Central Oklahoma during the overnight and early morning hours of March 16th-17th. After sunrise, these storms progressed eastward into Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, Northeast Texas and Northwest Louisiana. While the atmosphere was pretty stable at the surface...moderate instability existed aloft which resulted in rather steep mid level temperature lapse rates. This was conducive for the development of large hail which was widespread across the region, ranging from pea size to up to golfball size.

The severe weather setup for March 18th was not a lot different than the setup for severe weather that occurred across the Four State Region on March 17th. An elevated boundary remained nearly stationary north of the Interstate 20 corridor of Northern Louisiana and Northeast Texas. Likewise, a warm front was moving northward during the day towards the Interstate 20 corridor which allowed for increasing moisture and instability to reach the corridor by late morning into the afternoon hours. Weak disturbances aloft continued to move eastward out of Northern Texas and these disturbances provided the lift necessary for scattered severe thunderstorms, mainly over extreme Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana. Isolated strong thunderstorms produced penny size hail in Horatio and Ashdown.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed over Southern Oklahoma and North Texas during the evening of March 23rd, ahead of an upper level trough and associated cold front that were pushing east. These showers and thunderstorms began to weaken as they moved into Southeast Oklahoma and Northeast Texas during the late evening hours as they encountered reduced instability, but some of these storms did produce damaging winds after 1am on March 24th over Northeast Texas before weakening further. The remnants of these strong storms continued to push east ahead of the front during the early morning hours, and developed a cold pool which accelerated east across portions of extreme Eastern Texas into Northern Louisiana and Southern Arkansas along the Arkansas/Louisiana state line. There was little lightning associated with this convection, but they did produce damaging winds which downed a number of trees and power lines throughout the early morning hours over these areas. These damaging winds weakened just before daybreak on the 24th as they moved into more stable air over Southcentral Arkansas and Northcentral Louisiana.

Long term drought continued through the month of March, but with significant improvements in mountain snow pack and most reservoir levels. After a period of extremely dry and warm conditions for most of February, a pattern of moist westerly flow brought a series of unusually wet storms in March. This added significantly to the snow pack for the northern Sierra and southern Cascades. Snow pack increased to around 97% of normal for those areas, while on average the whole state was 86%. Reservoirs across interior northern California continued to increase, with the two largest rising to above normal levels. Lake Shasta was 109% of normal by the end of the month, Lake Oroville was 114%. Folsom Lake was 110% of normal and had to make flood control releases. In contrast, Don Pedro and New Melones remained below normal. The Department of Water Resources increased water delivery projections to 45% of requests, up from a 30% estimate in late February.
Exceptional to extreme drought continued to be detected by the U.S. Drought Monitor across most of the Central Valley. Much of Shasta and Lake counties improved from severe to moderate drought by the end of the month. Most other mountain areas improved from exceptional to severe drought, except the Sierra south of Highway 50.
Groundwater aquifers recharged much more slowly than the surface reservoirs, with many in the Central Valley still falling toward record levels. Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency for the entire state of California January 17, 2014 and this continued to be in effect. He extended the executive order requiring Californians to continue conserving water through October 2016. At the end of January, 2016, the California State Water Control Board approved an eight-month extension of the existing drought- related emergency regulations with just some minor adjustments.
Due to the wet month, DWR cancelled plans to install a drought barrier in the late spring to help control salinity in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. A drought barrier was erected in 2015 to prevent salt water from encroaching from the San Francisco Bay and remained from June to November. Local Emergency Proclamations remain for El Dorado, Glenn, Lake, Plumas, San Joaquin, Shasta, Sutter, Tuolumne, and Yuba counties. The cities of Live Oak Lodi, and Ripon continue in a drought emergency. Drought task forces have been established in Butte, Lake, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tehama, Tuolumne, and Yolo counties to coordinate response to the drought. Mandatory water reductions of 25 percent as ordered by Governor Brown continued to be in effect statewide, though Californians missed these targeted reductions for the month. Residents and businesses only cut usage by 12 percent, which was the lowest monthly reduction since the mandate became effective in June. From April 2015 to February 2016, state regulators reported urban residents were able to cut back their water usage by 23.9 percent from June 2015 to February 2016, just about 1 percent short from Governor Jerry Brown's 25 percent goal.

The California drought continues during the month of March, 2016. Fresno received 2.93 inch of rainfall while Bakersfield only received 0.45 inch of precipitation during the month. Increased precipitation and slightly above normal temperatures we received this month did allow for some snow melt to occur. This did improve the water storage situation slightly, however soil moisture did increase across the San Joaquin Valley north of Kern County due to the increase in rainfall. The U.S. Drought Monitor continued to report exceptional drought conditions across the entire Central California region. This extent of exceptional drought is extremely unusual for California. The general trend of below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures has continued this year. There continues to be significant media coverage on the on-going drought conditions. These reports include discussion of significant re-allocation of water resources from the east to west side of the San Joaquin Valley, farmers forgoing planting of some crops, loss or reduction of ground water, wells drying up in several communities leaving them with no water, and an unprecedented increase in fire danger across the Southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains. Also, communities in Central California interior face state mandated reductions in municipal water use.

A powerful blizzard developed across the Front Range of Colorado late on the 22nd and continued through much of the 23rd. The storm tracked east-southeast across Utah on the 22nd, and then into southeast Colorado by the morning of the 23rd. The storm rapidly intensified as it reached eastern Colorado, producing extremely heavy and intense snowfall with snowfall rates exceeding 3 inches per hour at times. In addition to heavy snow, strong winds gusting in excess of 50 mph east of Interstate 25 produced widespread blizzard conditions and zero visibilities. The storm initially began with rain on the plains, but quickly changed over to snow during the early morning hours of the 23rd. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour were common, with several inches of snow already accumulating for the morning commute. Many roads became impassable due to the depth of fallen snow, drifting snow, and near zero visibilities during the day. During the peak of the storm, snowfall rates reached or exceeded 3 inches per hour. Widespread road closures occurred, including Interstate 76 from northeast of Denver to the Nebraska state line, Interstate 70 east of Denver to the Kansas state line, and much of I-25 , from near Castle Rock to Colorado Springs and from Highway 7 north to the Wyoming border. The Colorado Department of Transportation estimated over 2,000 vehicles became trapped on I-25 near Monument Hill alone, with hundreds of stuck or abandoned cars elsewhere. Numerous power outages occurred as heavy wet snow accumulated on trees, despite the strong winds. At the peak, several hundred thousand residents along the Front Range were without power. Denver International Airport was closed for 7 hours during and just after the peak of the blizzard, with around 1,300 cancelled flights. The power outages shut down the fuel farm pumps, the deicing facility, as well as train service to the concourses at the airport. Pea Boulevard, the main road to the airport, was impassable for much of the day. It was the first time since Dec. 21,2006 that Denver International Airport had been shut down due to snow conditions. One to 2 feet of snow fell across much of the Front Range Urban Corridor, with over 30 inches in some foothill locations. Most of the snow fell within a 12-hr period from the early morning into the afternoon. A peak wind gust of 59 mph recorded at Denver International Airport. South of Denver, over the Palmer Ridge, 12 to 18 inches of snow was reported, with 6 to 10 inches across the northeast plains of Colorado. The official snowfall measurement at Denver International Airport was 13.1 inches. In addition, the snow was very heavy and wet, with many areas receiving 1 to 2 inches precipitation. In the foothills, some locations received nearly 3 inches of water from this storm.

An area of low pressure deepened considerably as it tracked from northeast Missouri into southern Wisconsin on March 15th. While the airmass ahead of this system across central Illinois remained capped for much of the day, an approaching upper trough helped weaken the cap and set the stage for scattered severe thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front during the evening of the 15th. Several clusters of thunderstorms moved across west-central Illinois, mainly along and west of I-55. The first cluster tracked from just north of Quincy toward the Peoria area, while a second cluster impacted locations from Jacksonville to Springfield. Thanks to moderate instability and strong low-level wind shear near the low track, many of the storms rotated and produced large hail and tornadoes. A total of 4 tornadoes touched down, including an EF-2 just northwest of Trivoli in Peoria County.

A low pressure system trekked along the Nebraska-Kansas border eastward along the Iowa-Missouri border. Initially, thunderstorms fired ahead of the dry line/cold front in the warm sector and made their way into portions of southwest Iowa. Before convection dissipated one inch hail was reported in the Bedford, IA area. Further north in the cold sector, much of Iowa saw periods of heavy snowfall, especially across portions of northwest and north central Iowa. Heavy snowfall kicked off around 7:30 pm across Emmet, Palo Alto, and Pocahontas counties and continued northeast through the evening. Heavy snowfall primarily ended around or just after midnight with the primary snowfall band, followed by lighter snowfall as the deformation zone came through in the early morning hours. Greatest snowfall amounts were generally in the 8 to 12 inch range, with Emmet and Palo Alto counties on the upper range.

The warm front progressed into central Iowa before stalling out in the afternoon and evening hours. The cold front trailed back in southeastern Nebraska and down through eastern Kansas. Weak convection began in western and northwest Iowa late in the afternoon with little to no hail or high winds, before more widespread convection fired as the low pressure center approached the Iowa-Nebraska border in the evening hours. With the warm front stalled out and generally draped along/near Interstate 80, storms that were able to root themselves along there were the strongest and produced primarily severe or borderline severe hail and high winds. Many hail reports were of the pea sized variety, with a handful of severe/one inch hail reports from storms to the west of Des Moines and across the northern portions of the Des Moines metro as storms moved across.

A significant early spring winter storm affected a good portion of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa during the afternoon on the 23rd into the early morning hours of the 24th. As the strong storm moved into the Plains during the morning hours on the 23rd, Gulf moisture rushed northward ahead of the system and allowed for thunderstorms and isolated severe weather to occur during the afternoon on the 23rd. On the back side of the system though, colder air fed in from the northern Plains and allowed for the rain to mix with and change over to snow over northeast Nebraska and extreme west central Iowa during the late afternoon and especially during the evening. Heavy snow was then observed in a band from northwest Iowa into northeast Nebraska with some thundersnow also observed. Extremely heavy snowfall rates of 2 to 4 inches an hour occurred within this band leading to many snowfall totals over 1 foot in a relatively short amount of time. The storm system finally started to shift out of the area during the early morning hours on the 24th. Note: The estimated wind gust of 52 knots is equivalent to 60 mph.

A broad area of snowfall and strong winds moved into Northwest Kansas after a strong cold front had moved through earlier in the day. The highest wind gust in the blizzard was 60 MPH reported at Goodland. The intense winds with the snowfall created blizzard conditions in Cheyenne, Sherman and Rawlins counties, with near blizzard conditions occurring in Decatur county. The blizzard conditions lead to road closures including I-70 from the Colorado border to Wakeeney, Highway 36 from the Colorado border to Atwood, and Highway 27 from Sharon Springs to the Nebraska line. Blizzard conditions ended during the late evening as the snowfall and intense winds came to an end from west to east.

Intense low pressure that was centered over Colorado moved east across Northern Kansas and spread very strong southerly winds across Kansas for most of the 23rd. Sustained speeds frequently reached 35 to 45 mph with gusts that reached around 60 mph. The strong winds not only caused tree damage, but more importantly figured greatly in the spreading of the worst grassland fire in Kansas history. The fire actually started in Northwest Oklahoma but quickly spread into Comanche and Barber Counties. The fire then spread into Western Harper and much of Kingman Counties. No doubt the smoke was thick and was transported as far north as I-70 in Central Kansas. Sporadic property damage was reported late that afternoon. In Harper County, an unattached garage was damaged 8 miles west of Anthony.

A strong cold front that pushed southeast across Kansas on the 26th exited Southeast Kansas early that evening, but an elevated, nearly stationary, front set up across South Central Kansas late that night. A strong band of rain that developed across South Central Kansas late in the evening quickly changed to snow during the night. Accumulations from 3 to 6 inches were measured early Easter Morning from Kingman, Sedgwick, and Reno Counties to Marion County. An intense upper-deck perturbation that moved northeast over and along the boundary produced sufficient lift to result in thunder snow across many of these areas. The snow was occasionally mixed with sleet in Goddard, located 10 miles west of Wichita.

A strong mid to upper-deck trough that was located over the Central Great Basin surged east/northeast across the Great Plains throughout the day and that night. This forced a dry line east across South-Central Kansas, where numerous severe thunderstorms developed that afternoon. The severe thunderstorms were prolific hail-producers. Hardest hit was Butler County, most notably in and around El Dorado, where hail that reached 3 inches in diameter bombed a location 1 mile south of El Dorado Lake. A 2-inch diameter hailstone landed 6 miles south southeast of El Dorado Lake. There were also several reports of golf ball-sized hail in Butler County, then in Montgomery County which was hit that evening.

As high pressure over the East Coast refused to move, a storm system approached the ArkLaMiss from the west and stalled just to the west of the region on March 7th. While warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico filtered north and encompassed the region, a series of potent upper level disturbances began lifting northeast across the Lower Mississippi River Valley. This set the stage for multiple rounds of torrential rains that fell almost continuously across the ArkLaMiss from March 8th through March 12th. These prolonged torrential rains resulted in widespread flash flooding and river flooding across the region, with numerous area rivers reaching moderate and major flood stages. Floodwaters damaged numerous homes, businesses, and closed many primary and secondary roads across the region, with some secondary roads washed out. As the storm system finally exited the region late on the 12th, another fast moving, compact storm system followed in its wake during the evening of March 13th. This system brought another round of heavy rain to the Delta region, in addition to some hail and damaging straight line winds.

Widespread severe weather and some flash flooding occurred over the ArkLaMiss region from the evening of March 30th through the evening of March 31st. On March 30th an upper level storm system moved into the region from the Southern Plains. It was accompanied by a slow moving cold front extending from a large surface low across the Central Plains into the middle Mississippi Valley. A warm moisture rich air mass from the Gulf of Mexico moved into the region as a warm front lifted northward on the 30th. A series of potent upper level disturbances crossed the region through the 31st, bringing a rapid increase in wind aloft and resulting in an unstable environment that contained high levels of wind shear. These factors set the stage for flash flooding and several rounds of severe weather. Widespread severe weather occurred with a mix of flash flooding, damaging winds, hail and tornadoes across portions of the ArkLaMiss region. The cold front moved across the region on the night of the 31st, thus ending the severe weather from the northwest. Note: The estimated wind gust of 50 knots is equivalent to 58 mph.

Some of the more impressive 5 day totals across the parish were as follows: Jena: 11.27 inches. The Louisiana National Guard was deployed by the Governor of Louisiana to assist local law enforcement in the massive response to the prolonged flooding event. These operations included evacuations, search and rescue, distribution and supply of water and meals, security and shelter support and distribution of sandbags and sandbag filling machines. In addition, 36 high water vehicles and 16 boats were called in to assist in the effort. Numerous roads were closed during the height of the storm across La Salle Parish. Numerous high water rescues were conducted by first responders which included rescuing occupants trapped in their vehicles as well as the rescuing of residents from flooded homes across the parish. The Little River, which borders Grant and La Salle Parishes in Northern Louisiana, saw a record crest at Rochelle, Louisiana with a stage of 50.10 feet on March 13th. Catahoula Lake in the southern portion of La Salle Parish rose and crested at 52.62 feet on March 20th. Numerous homes, stilted and unstilted were flooded along the lake shore of this lake along with numerous boat houses completely inundated. The Governor's Office of Homeland Security determined that upwards of 130 homes across La Salle Parish were completely flooded with 158 homes having registered some sort of flood damage from the 5-day event. Public property damage estimates were still pending at the time of this writing. Several Red Cross shelters were set up across the parish for flooded residents. As a result, the Governor of Louisiana declared a State of Emergency for La Salle Parish and wrote a Federal Disaster Declaration for the parish as well.

A man drowned when his boat overturned while trying to move materials out of a flooded home. There were 2 other injuries reported with this accident. M?BO A strong upper level low pressure system settled over northern Mexico on March 8th, and became stationary through March 12th as it was cut off from the upper level jet stream, with a blocking upper ridge having developed over Florida and the western Atlantic. Meanwhile, a weak frontal boundary entered the region from the west on the 8th, and became stationary over Deep East Texas, Northwest Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas. Upper level disturbances ejected northeast ahead of the Northern Mexico low pressure system, resulting in periods of showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rainfall to move repeatedly over these areas. The air mass was most unstable on the 8th, where several severe thunderstorms developed and produced wind damage across portions of Northwest and North Central Louisiana, as well as East Texas. However, widespread heavy rainfall was relentless along and ahead of the surface front over Deep East Texas, all of North Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas where widespread flash flooding occurred. Widespread rainfall amounts of 12-18 inches fell during the 4 day period across Deep East Texas and all of North Louisiana, with amounts in excess of 24 inches across Ouachita Parish. This flooding was of epic proportions across the entire northern half of the state, something the Emergency Management community said they have never experienced before. Thousands of structures suffered some sort of water damage along with thousands of road surfaces as well. Many road surfaces, bridges and low water crossings were completely washed out. This resulted in many high water rescues of stranded motorists, especially during the very beginnings of the prolonged flooding event. Many motorists drove around barricades and into the flooded roadways. The flash flooding event very quickly transitioned into a historic hydrologic event as several rivers, lakes and bayous suffered major flooding conditions with many reaching record crests. This of course resulted in a daily watch of numerous levees and dams for North Louisiana's waterways with numerous subdivisions built in the vicinity of these waterways. The Louisiana National Guard was dispatched by the Governor of Louisiana to help respond to the needs of citizens of North Louisiana which included evacuation assistance, rescues by vehicle, boat and helicopter, distribution and supply of water, security and shelter support and distribution of sandbags. Numerous shelters were opened by the Louisiana Red Cross and by local churches across the northern half of the state as well to shelter residents effected by the flood. A Federal Disaster Declaration was approved for Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Claiborne, De Soto, Grant, Jackson, La Salle, Lincoln, Natchitoches, Ouachita, Red River, Sabine, Union, Webster and Winn Parishes. Some of the more impressive 5-Day rainfall totals were as follows: Monroe 3.2 SSE: 26.96, Taylortown: 20.39, Rocky Branch 1.3 W: 20.29, Barksdale AFB: 19.09, Minden: 18.73 Ruston 5.5 NW: 18.02, Hodges Gardens: 17.90, Natchitoches: 16.86, Jamestown: 16.85, Caney RAWS: 16.08, Gum Springs RAWS: 15.52, Quitman: 15.50, Stonewall: 15.42, South Southern Hills: 14.88, Columbia 4.1 NNW: 14.77, Coushatta 1.4 E: 14.21, Jena: 11.27, Catahoula RAWS: 8.69.

Jackson Parish Chatham 13 2015CST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K Hail (0.88) Nickel size hail was reported in the Chatham community. A potent upper level storm system moved rapidly eastward across the Southern Plains and into the Lower Mississippi Valley during the late afternoon and evening hours of March 13th. Cold air aloft accompanied this upper level trough while surface temperatures warmed well into the 70s ahead of the trough. This resulted in moderate instability across all of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. Multicell thunderstorms and a few discrete supercell thunderstorms developed with the aid of late afternoon heating and most of these storms were prolific hail producers. While the largest hail fell over Southwest Arkansas, penny to quarter size hail fell across portions of Northcentral Louisiana.

A strong frontal boundary pulled up stationary south of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana during the morning hours of March 17th. However, an elevated boundary near 850mb was located nearly stationary across the Middle Red River Valley of Northern Texas into Southern Arkansas. Flow aloft was mostly west to east across the Southern Plains at this time but subtle weak disturbances and strong deep layer shear resulted in the development of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of North Central Texas and South Central Oklahoma during the predawn hours of March 17th. After sunrise, these storms progressed eastward into Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, Northeast Texas and Northwest Louisiana. While the atmosphere was pretty stable at the surface, moderate instability existed aloft which resulted in rather steep mid level temperature lapse rates. This was conducive for the development of large hail which was widespread across the region, ranging from pea size to up to the size of quarters. Late in the afternoon into the early evening of March 17th, the stationary front across Central Louisiana began to back up to the north and as a result, some wind damage was reported in Grant Parish Louisiana with severe thunderstorms that developed across that location.

The severe weather setup for March 18th was not a lot different than the setup for severe weather that occurred across the Four State Region on March 17th. An elevated boundary remained nearly stationary north of the Interstate 20 corridor of Northern Louisiana and Northeast Texas. Likewise, a warm front was moving northward during the day towards the Interstate 20 corridor which allowed for increasing moisture and instability to reach the corridor by late morning into the afternoon hours. Weak disturbances aloft continued to move eastward out of Northern Texas and these disturbances provided the lift necessary for scattered severe thunderstorms, all of which produced hail. Again the hail produced by these thunderstorms ranged from near pea size to near golfball size given the steep mid level temperature lapse rates present.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed over Southern Oklahoma and North Texas during the evening of March 23rd, ahead of an upper level trough and associated cold front that were pushing east. These showers and thunderstorms began to weaken as they moved into Southeast Oklahoma and Northeast Texas during the late evening hours as they encountered reduced instability, but some of these storms did produce damaging winds after 1am on March 24th over Northeast Texas before weakening further. The remnants of these strong storms continued to push east ahead of the front during the early morning hours, and developed a cold pool which accelerated east across portions of extreme Eastern Texas into Northern Louisiana and Southern Arkansas along the Arkansas/Louisiana state line. There was little lightning associated with this convection, but they did produce damaging winds which downed a number of trees and power lines throughout the early morning hours over these areas. These damaging winds weakened just before daybreak on the 24th as they moved into more stable air over Southcentral Arkansas and Northcentral Louisiana.

A warm front lifted north through the region during the evening hours on March 29th, through the morning hours on March 30th, which returned a warm, moist, and unstable air mass back into the area. Meanwhile, an upper level low pressure area and associated trough over the Great Basin and Desert Southwest resulted in a southwest flow aloft which sent upper level disturbances northeast into the Southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed during the morning and early afternoon hours on the 30th over extreme Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and Southwest Arkansas near and north of the warm front, but showers and thunderstorms became more numerous during the afternoon and evening across the region, as they tapped into greater surface and elevated instability, increased wind shear, and stronger upper jet dynamics associated with the upper level disturbances. As a result, some of these storms became strong or severe during the afternoon and evening over portions of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana. Marginally severe hail, periodic wind damage, and several funnel cloud reports were received, with some of these storms producing very heavy rainfall in a short period of time which resulted in flash flooding over portions of Northcentral Louisiana, as grounds were still saturated from prior heavy rainfall and extensive flooding that had occurred earlier in the month.

Low pressure off the North Carolina coast intensified as it moved northeast. With cold air in place courtesy of high pressure to the north, snow overspread the Delmarva during the early morning hours, continuing in some spots to about mid day. Accumulations were highest south of the C&D canal, and on grassy surfaces compared to road surfaces. However, due to the timing of this snow, before and during the morning commute, travel was impacted to some degree by this event, and some schools opened late or closed altogether for the day.

A brush fire on Tekoa Mountain near Westfield, Massachusetts started on March 8, 2016 and spread quickly thanks to very dry weather in the previous days and weeks. Weather on March 8th and 9th was favorable for fire fighters with light winds and relative humidity values around 50%. Despite this, the fire spread to nearly 70 acres before fire fighters were able to contain it. One of the reasons for the quick fire spread was the lack of hydrants or water lines in the vicinity, requiring fire fighters to carry in water on their backs. By 2pm on March 9, fire fighters deemed the fire 90 percent contained.

Low pressure took shape out in the southern plains and quickly deepened as it moved northeast across the Ohio Valley. This system brought a mixed bag of precipitation to the area including rain and freezing rain to locations around the Detroit area and points south while areas north saw all snow. Areas that saw all snow, especially across the Saginaw Valley and Thumb areas had upwards of a foot of snow in some locations. The Detroit and Downriver areas where a mixture of precipitation types fell, only saw a couple of inches of snow. As the low pressure pushed northeast, warmer air was able to work in for a longer period of this area and thus cutting into the total snowfall accumulations. In general, 6 to 12 inches fell along and north of M-59, with 1 to 4 inches south. Here are some of the higher snowfall reports received: Harbor Beach... 14.0 inches. Bad Axe... 13.0 inches.

A narrow band of precipitation broke out along an elevated frontal boundary during the afternoon of March 23rd in the Saginaw Valley and Thumb regions. Initially, the precip fell as rain, but changed to snow as precipitation rates increased and the front contracted. Snow continued, heavily at times, in that narrow band. By 8 pm, a narrow band of 5 to 8 inches of snow had fallen across portions of Midland and Bay counties. At this point, the elevated front pushed northward, allowing warmer air to turn the precip to liquid. Temperatures overnight hovering at or just below the freezing mark caused some ice to accrete mainly on elevated surfaces. By the morning of the 24th, a tenth to a quarter of an inch of ice accumulation had occurred over parts of the Saginaw Valley and Thumb. Marginal temperatures mitigated surface transportation impacts from the freezing rain. Areas along and south of I-69 saw mainly rain with this event.

A winter storm strengthened as it tracked east northeastward just south of Lower Michigan on March 1. A swath of 8-12 inches of snow, with localized amounts over a foot, fell from southwest lower Michigan into the thumb region. The winter storm featured two main rounds of heavier snow, separated by a 2-3 hour period of light freezing rain and sleet mainly south of Interstate 96. The freezing rain was enough to coat vehicles in a thin layer of ice. No significant power outages were noted. The freezing rain and sleet occurred from late morning into early afternoon as the low pressure center tracked closest to Michigan. A thin layer of warm air well above the ground was able to melt snowflakes, but surface temperatures in the lower 20s resulted in freezing rain and sleet rather than just plain rain. The atmosphere sufficiently cooled by mid afternoon and changed the precipitation back to all snow. A significant burst of heavy snow during the afternoon hours brought traffic to a crawl. This resulted in hundreds of school closings on March 1st and 2nd.

A strong late Winter and early Spring storm produced two areas of heavy snowfall across southern Minnesota, and into west central Wisconsin during the afternoon of March 23rd, through early morning of March 24th.
The first band of heavy snowfall developed between Springfield to New Ulm, northeast across the southern part of the Twin Cities Metro area, into portions of west central Wisconsin near River Falls. Initially, this band was disorganized but became a solid enhanced band for several hours during the afternoon. Snowfall rates in this band ranged from 1/2 to locally 2 inches per hour. Due to very dry air on the northern edge of this band, snowfall amounts cutoff dramatically from over a foot, to only a few inches within 20 miles. This band quickly dissipated during the evening and ended before midnight. However, before the snowfall ended, locally 8 to 12 inches of snow fell in a band from near Prior Lake, east-northeast to Savage, Eagan and Cottage Grove. Outside of these amounts, 6 to 8 inches of snowfall was common before it ended during the evening.
As the northern band began to dissipate, a secondary area of snowfall developed across northern Iowa, and moved into southern Minnesota during the late evening, and early morning hours of Thursday March, 24th. A band of heavier snowfall developed between Fairmont, Owatonna, and Red Wing, Minnesota, and slowly moved south during the pre-dawn hours. This secondary band had snowfall rates as high as 1 to 2 inches per hour which caused an area of 8 to 12 inches from south of Fairmont, northeast to Ellendale, and the southern part of Steele county.
The following are some of the heavier snowfall totals from this storm.

While warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico filtered north and encompassed the region, a series of potent upper level disturbances began lifting northeast across the Lower Mississippi River Valley. This set the stage for multiple rounds of torrential rains that fell almost continuously across the ArkLaMiss from March 8th through March 12th. These prolonged torrential rains resulted in widespread flash flooding and river flooding across the region, with numerous area rivers reaching moderate and major flood stages. Floodwaters damaged numerous homes, businesses, and closed many primary and secondary roads across the region, with some secondary roads washed out.

Warren County 2 E Redwood 31 2014CST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K Hail (0.88) Widespread severe weather and some flash flooding occurred over the ArkLaMiss region from the evening of March 30th through the evening of March 31st. On March 30th an upper level storm system moved into the region from the Southern Plains. It was accompanied by a slow moving cold front extending from a large surface low across the Central Plains into the middle Mississippi Valley. A warm moisture rich air mass from the Gulf of Mexico moved into the region as a warm front lifted northward on the 30th. A series of potent upper level disturbances crossed the region through the 31st, bringing a rapid increase in wind aloft and resulting in an unstable environment that contained high levels of wind shear. These factors set the stage for flash flooding and several rounds of severe weather. Widespread severe weather occurred with a mix of damaging winds, up to golf ball sized hail, and two EF-1 tornadoes that occurred in Lamar and Lowndes counties. Parts of the Delta region experienced flash flooding, especially in Washington, Sunflower, Leflore, Carroll, and Montgomery counties.

A significant early spring winter storm affected a good portion of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa during the afternoon on the 23rd into the early morning hours of the 24th. As the strong storm moved into the Plains during the morning hours on the 23rd, Gulf moisture rushed northward ahead of the system and allowed for thunderstorms and isolated severe weather to occur during the afternoon on the 23rd. On the back side of the system though, colder air fed in from the northern Plains and allowed for the rain to mix with and change over to snow over northeast Nebraska and extreme west central Iowa during the late afternoon and especially during the evening. Heavy snow was then observed in a band from northwest Iowa into northeast Nebraska with some thundersnow also observed. Extremely heavy snowfall rates of 2 to 4 inches an hour occurred within this band leading to many snowfall totals over 1 foot in a relatively short amount of time. The storm system finally started to shift out of the area during the early morning hours on the 24th.

Strong winds, snow and blowing snow occurred on this Wednesday. Evolution of precipitation associated with this system was complex. Through the morning hours, a long, skinny band of frontogenetic/WAA precipitation formed and was oriented west- east from the Great Lakes westward across Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, then southwest across the Nebraska panhandle into eastern Colorado. This band was north of the polar front and its western fringe wrapped cyclonically around the northern and western periphery of a developing upper-level low. This system entrained significant dry air in the mid-upper levels. So, precipitation in the warm sector was initially non-existent. It wasn't until mid-late afternoon that a comma-shaped band of scattered showers and a few embedded thunderstorms developed within and in the eastern semi-circle of the vorticity maximum over Kansas and Nebraska. Around 4 p.m., a storm over northern Hamilton county produced half inch hail near Hordville. This storm occurred on the cool side of the front, with temperatures in the middle 30s. The initial band of showers and storms quickly exited south central Nebraska by late afternoon. The small area of lingering rain in the center of the upper- level low (primarily over Buffalo, Hall, Kearney, Adams, Franklin, and Webster counties) changed to snow by early evening, and thunder was associated with it. Two to 5 inches of snow fell in these areas. As the low moved to the east during the night, the deformation band north and west of the low finally moved into and across south central Nebraska with a gradually diminishing trend. The band remained very skinny. Some of the initial showers that developed in the afternoon rotated to the northwest across Greeley and Valley counties, merging with the deformation band over the Sandhills. This, combined with the band moving through during the night, resulted in snowfall persisting along enough for a small area of 4 to 5 inches of accumulation over much these counties. There were a couple spots that received as much as 8 inches, including Ord. This was the highest amount associated with this storm. Across the rest of south central Nebraska, snowfall amounts were under 2 inches. There was a lot of wind with this system. Northeast winds were sustained between 30 and 40 mph for much of the day, with widespread gusts generally between 45 and 55 mph. There were a couple locations that had higher gusts, with 61 mph recorded at Evelyn Sharp Airport in Ord. These windy conditions did result in some wind damage in a couple locations, with a metal roof blown off a saloon in Giltner and a tree that fell onto a house in Arcadia. A polar cold front dropped into Nebraska on Tuesday the 22nd and became stationary across northern Kansas on the 23rd. Lee cyclogenesis occurred over Colorado, with a strong 990 mb surface low heading east-northeast along the front. By 9 p.m., this low was over the Kansas City area. It continued advancing through northern Missouri during the night. In the upper levels, split flow was over North America. A moderate amplitude shortwave trough was advancing through the western U.S., with a broad ridge in the East. Confluent flow extended from the Northern Plains into the Great Lakes. As cyclogenesis occurred, a closed mid-level low formed briefly over Nebraska and Kansas, before opening back up into a trough by daybreak on the 24th.

The first severe hail of the season occurred in south central Nebraska on this Wednesday, specifically over Adams and Clay Counties. Between 3 and 4 p.m. CST, a few small showers and thunderstorms formed along Highway 6 over Kearney and Phelps Counties. The lead (easternmost) storm traveled across southern Adams County between 4 and 5 p.m. and across central Clay County between 5 and 6 p.m. This storm dropped quarter size hail from southeastern Adams county, southwest of Glenvil, near Fairfield, and in Clay Center. These showers and storms developed in the cold sector immediately behind a cold front that was passing through the region. A surface low was over Omaha. In the upper levels, the flow was split around a closed low over the western U.S., with a diminishing ridge in the East. By 6 p.m. CST, a new closed low had formed over southwest Nebraska, with a trough still trailing southwestward across the Desert Southwest. These storms were elevated as surface temperatures, at the time of initiation, were in the lower 60s with dewpoints around 50 degrees. MUCAPE was around 500 J/kg with effective deep layer shear around 50 knots.

Strong winds associated with a powerful upper level storm system combined with a strong area of surface low pressure across New Mexico to produce widespread high winds. The strongest winds impacted the higher terrain of central and western New Mexico on the 22nd then central and eastern New Mexico on the 23rd. Peak wind speeds ranged from 60 to 70 mph. Temperatures were well above normal with a few records highs broken. The combination of warm temperatures and very low humidity produced dangerous fire conditions and blowing dust across the state. The visibility was reduced to one-half mile at Farmington and around 2 miles at Gallup from blowing dust. A wildfire broke out near Pojoaque and another near Ruidoso. Fortunately these fires were quickly contained. Tumbleweeds were a problem across much of the state as well, particularly the Albuquerque west side where drifts over 5 feet caused lane closures on several streets. The most significant property damage occurred to a home in Los Alamos where a large pine tree was toppled.

A fast-moving and potent upper level low pressure system moved east southeast across northern New Mexico on the 26th. This upper low interacted with a powerful cold front racing southward across the eastern plains to create widespread snowfall and strong winds. The heaviest snow fell in the area along Interstate 25 from Raton Pass south to Raton and Springer, as well as the area along U.S. Highway 64/87 east to Des Moines. Spotters reported from 3 to 9 inches of snow in this area. Blowing snow and low visibilities with near blizzard conditions forced the closure of Interstate 25 between Raton Pass and Raton for nearly 10 hours. Spotters also reported the closure of portions of U.S. Highway 64/87 between Raton and Clayton. Strong northerly winds along the advancing cold front wreaked havoc over eastern New Mexico. Winds peaked out between 60 and 70 mph along the U.S. Highway 60 corridor from Fort Sumner to Melrose and Clovis. A semi truck was blown over in strong crosswinds to the west of Fort Sumner. Significant blowing dust was also reported around Clovis and Portales.

Damage was first observed northwest of Wheatville along State Route 122 between Quaker Trace Road and Yost Road. This is believed to be where the tornado first touched down. A section of wood and metal roofing material measuring approximately 55 feet by 15 feet was lifted from the northeast side of a barn and strewn for approximately 100 feet to the northeast, and a lesser distance to the northwest. A utility pole was also snapped at this location. Eyewitness accounts from the residents indicated the damage resulted from a visible circulation that passed through the property. The residents also pointed out a section of metal roofing material from this location that was carried approximately 0.35 miles north-northeast and deposited in an area of trees. The damage here was assessed to be in the mid range EF1 category. A second debris field was found along Halderman Road just west of the intersection with Quaker Trace Road. A barn measuring approximately 65 feet by 45 feet was completely destroyed just south of the road. Wood and metal roofing material from this barn was strewn over approximately one-half mile in a very confined path. The debris was oriented to the north- northeast for much of the total distance, although an initial jog to the west was visible in the immediate vicinity of the barn. The final pieces of debris were visible in a field about one-quarter mile north of Halderman Road. No further damage was observed or reported north of this location so this area is believed to be where the tornado lifted. A close inspection of the barn was not possible due to its location on private property, but the visible debris and available aerial imagery indicated it was not of new construction. It is also unknown if any parts of the structure were open to the wind prior to being destroyed. For these reasons the damage at this location was also assessed to be in the mid range EF1 category.

The tornado first touched down along Arlington Road just south of Potato Ridge Road where there was light damage to hardwood trees consistent with EF0 strength winds. The tornado then progressed north-northeast and crossed Sweet Potato Ridge Road and then Arlington Road, where it severely damaged a barn and woodshed. Just north of this location, a farm house on Baltimore Phillipsburg Pike had extensive damage with the entire roof lifted off from the upper level of the house. With consideration of the age of the home and roofing structure, the damage was consistent with high end EF1 damage. At this same property, a garage was shifted off its foundation with all walls collapsed and a nearby large barn lost about 20 percent of the roof. Additional minor roof damage occurred at a property on the north side of the Baltimore Phillipsburg Pike property, with most of the damage coming from the roof debris from the property on the south side of Baltimore Phillipsburg Pike.
The roof and yard debris from the Baltimore Phillipsburg Pike location was lofted as far as 300 to 400 yards from the home site, northward toward Blank Road. An additional farm site farther north along Arlington Road suffered a destroyed garage with debris from the structure spreading nearly 100 yards. Additional damage included chimney damage, snapped and uprooted trees, siding and significant barn damage. This damage was in the high end EF0 to low end EF1 scale.
The northernmost location of tornadic damage occurred along State Route 49, just north of Montgomery County Line Road in Miami County, where some large trees were downed. This was the northernmost indication of ground-based damage. There was additional debris in fields just north along Castine-Gordon Road, but this was the last known location of damage or debris.

The first evidence of damage occurred north of Stocker Road just east of the intersection with Schnorf-Jones Road. A few trees were downed in this location with some light debris noted along the tree line about 350 feet north of Stocker Road. Additional damage was noted at a residence on the northeast corner of the intersection of Oakes Road and Schnorf-Jones Road. A stone chimney on the house was heavily damaged. A few panels of metal roofing on the house were completely removed. A metal barn roof at this location was also partially peeled up to the west. Light debris from the above location was spread about a quarter mile to the north with some evidence of very minor damage at an adjacent property just south of a line of trees. Beyond this line of trees, which had some depositing of light debris, there was no further damage observed.

Damage was first observed along Grubbs-Rex Road. A large garage had one of its doors partially pushed inward. The most significant damage occurred at a property located south of Dull Road. A horse stable at the southern end of the property was almost completely destroyed. The southernmost addition to this stable suffered from complete collapse of external walls with some of the wooden anchor posts completely ripped from the ground. Minor damage to walls, windows and roof ornamentation was also noticed on two other outbuildings at this location. A brick house was generally undamaged, aside from some isolated removal of shingles. Throughout this area, tree damage was significant. Large limbs were spread almost everywhere with several trees downed and others snapped off above ground level. Debris from the stable was found deposited in trees in several other places on the property. Debris from the Dull Road location, including large pieces of sheet metal, was spread for long distances to the north of the property. A significant amount of this debris was deposited between the damage area and Dull Road. Very minor roof damage was also observed on a barn located just north of Dull Road. Numerous pieces of debris were found between Dull Road and east South Street (State Route 49). A few pieces were even found just north of east South Street. A lack of trees along this segment of the path made it difficult to determine the exact end point of the tornado. It is estimated that the tornado lifted in the vicinity of east South Street.

A strong upper level low pressure system settled over northern Mexico on March 8th, and became stationary through March 12th as it was cut off from the upper level jet stream, with a blocking upper ridge having developed over Florida and the western Atlantic. Meanwhile, a weak frontal boundary entered the region from the west on the 8th, and became stationary over Deep East Texas, Northwest Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas. Upper level disturbances ejected northeast ahead of the Northern Mexico low pressure system, resulting in periods of showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rainfall to move repeatedly over these areas. The air mass was most unstable on the 8th, where several severe thunderstorms developed and produced wind damage across portions of Northwest and Northcentral Louisiana, as well as East Texas. However, widespread heavy rainfall was relentless along and ahead of the surface front over Deep East Texas, all of North Louisiana, Southwest Arkansas and extreme Southeast Oklahoma where widespread flash flooding occurred. In McCurtain County, a flash flood fatality occurred when a driver drove through flood waters south of Broken Bow. Widespread rainfall amounts across the county during the 4 day period ranged from of 4-5 inches, with 5-10+ inches falling across Southwest Arkansas and Northeast Texas. Some of the more impressive 5-day rainfall totals were as follows: Mount Hermon: 4.34, Idabel: 4.27, Valliant: 3.95. M30VE

OKLAHOMA, Extreme Southeast Mccurtain County Eagletown 13 1645CST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K Hail (0.75) Penny size hail fell in Eagletown. A potent upper level storm system moved rapidly eastward across the Southern Plains and into the Lower Mississippi Valley during the late afternoon and evening hours of March 13th. Cold air aloft accompanied this upper level trough while surface temperatures warmed well into the 70s ahead of the trough. This resulted in moderate instability across all of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. Multicell thunderstorms and a few discrete supercell thunderstorms developed with the aid of late afternoon heating and most of these storms were prolific hail producers, most of which developed over Southwest Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. However, isolated strong thunderstorms did develop over McCurtain County Oklahoma, producing non-severe hail in Eagletown, before intensifying as they moved into Southwest Arkansas.

The severe weather setup for March 18th was not a lot different than the setup for severe weather that occurred across the Four State Region on March 17th. An elevated boundary remained nearly stationary north of the Interstate 20 corridor of Northern Louisiana and Northeast Texas. Likewise, a warm front was moving northward during the day towards the Interstate 20 corridor which allowed for increasing moisture and instability to reach the corridor by late morning into the afternoon hours. Weak disturbances aloft continued to move eastward out of Northern Texas and these disturbances provided the lift necessary for scattered severe thunderstorms, mainly over portions of extreme Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Northern Louisiana. An isolated strong thunderstorm developed southwest of Garvin, Oklahoma, which produced dime size hail.

A weak tornado caused mainly roof damage to a home and damage to a recreational vehicle. Trees were knocked down along with a power pole. Peak estimated wind was 90 mph. In the wake of a departing mesoscale convective system the airmass quickly destabilized across the Mid-South by the late morning hours on March 31, 2016. Meanwhile another potent upper level disturbance moved through the region. As a result numerous showers and thunderstorms erupted across the Mid-South in advance of an approaching cold front. Numerous severe storms occurred with damaging winds and large hail. A weak tornado also occurred in Hardin County. Storms eventually pushed east as the cold front moved through the region.

Road closures were reported near Hwy. 259 and Hwy 31 between Interstate 20 and the Kilgore city limits. Both southbound and northbound lanes were closed. A strong upper level low pressure system settled over northern Mexico on March 8th, and became stationary through March 12th as it was cut off from the upper level jet stream, with a blocking upper ridge having developed over Florida and the western Atlantic. Meanwhile, a weak frontal boundary entered the region from the west on the 8th, and became stationary over Deep East Texas, Northwest Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas. Upper level disturbances ejected northeast ahead of the Northern Mexico low pressure system, resulting in periods of showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rainfall to move repeatedly over these areas. The air mass was most unstable on the 8th, where several severe thunderstorms developed and produced wind damage across portions of Northwest and Northcentral Louisiana, as well as East Texas. However, widespread heavy rainfall was relentless along and ahead of the surface front over Deep East Texas, all of North Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas where widespread flash flooding occurred. Numerous roads and bridges were flooded or washed out, homes were flooded, and many high water rescues were required as many drivers drove around barricades and into the flooded roadways. Widespread rainfall amounts of 5-10+ inches fell during the 4 day period across much of East Texas, with amounts of 12-16+ inches across Sabine County. Several structures suffered some sort of water damage along with numerous road surfaces as well. Many or those road surfaces, bridges and low water crossings were completely washed out. This resulted in many high water rescues of stranded motorists, especially during the very beginnings of the prolonged flooding event. Many motorists drove around barricades and into the flooded roadways. The flash flooding event very quickly transitioned into a major hydrologic event as several rivers, lakes and creeks suffered major flooding conditions. Several shelters were opened by the Red Cross and by local churches across Northeast Texas to shelter residents effected by the flood. An Federal Disaster Declaration was declared for Marion, Harrison and Gregg Counties in Northeast Texas as a result of the flooding. Some of the more impressive 5-day rainfall totals were as follows: Hemphill 8.6 E: 18.60, Toledo Bend Dam: 16.70, Marshall 9.7 SE: 11.61, Sam Rayburn Dam: 11.40, Longview 0.9 E: 11.31, Carthage: 11.18, Center: 10.75, Henderson 6.9 WNW: 10.68, Jefferson: 10.34, Zavalla 2.0 ENE: 9.90, Big Sandy 3.9 E: 9.50, Broaddus: 9.14, Linden RAWS: 8.95, Lone Star: 8.54, Tyler 4.1 SSW: 7.83, Pittsburg: 7.63, Mineola 1.6 E: 7.28, Nacogdoches: 7.16, Jacksonville: 7.00, Texarkana RAWS: 5.77.

Harrison County 3 SSW Jonesville 17 1347CST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K Hail (1.50) Ping-pong ball size hail fell 3 miles west of Waskom. A strong frontal boundary pulled up stationary south of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana during the morning hours of March 17th. However, an elevated boundary near 850mb was located nearly stationary across the Middle Red River Valley of Northern Texas into Southern Arkansas. Flow aloft was mostly west to east across the Southern Plains at this time but subtle weak disturbances and strong deep layer shear resulted in the development of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of North Central Texas and South Central Oklahoma during the predawn hours of March 17th. After sunrise, these storms progressed eastward into Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, Northeast Texas and Northwest Louisiana. While the atmosphere was pretty stable at the surface...moderate instability existed aloft which resulted in rather steep mid level temperature lapse rates. This was conducive for the development of large hail which was widespread across the region...ranging from pea size to up to golfball size. In addition, an elevated supercell moved across portions of Red River and Bowie Counties in Northeast Texas and while a tornado was not produced from this storm, a strong and damaging downburst was produced with widespread wind damage noted across portions of both counties.

TEXAS, Northeast
The severe weather setup for March 18th was not a lot different than the setup for severe weather that occurred across the Four State Region on March 17th. An elevated boundary remained nearly stationary north of the Interstate 20 corridor of Northern Louisiana and Northeast Texas. Likewise, a warm front was moving northward during the day towards the Interstate 20 corridor which allowed for increasing moisture and instability to reach the corridor by late morning into the afternoon hours. Weak disturbances aloft continued to move eastward out of Northern Texas and these disturbances provided the lift necessary for scattered severe thunderstorms, all of which produced hail. Again, the hail produced by these thunderstorms ranged from near pea size to near golfball size given the steep mid level temperature lapse rates present.

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed over Southern Oklahoma and North Texas during the evening of March 23rd, ahead of an upper level trough and associated cold front that were pushing east. These showers and thunderstorms began to weaken as they moved into Southeast Oklahoma and Northeast Texas during the late evening hours as they encountered reduced instability, but some of these storms did produce damaging winds after 1am on March 24th over Northeast Texas before weakening further. The remnants of these strong storms continued to push east ahead of the front during the early morning hours, and developed a cold pool which accelerated east across portions of extreme Eastern Texas into Northern Louisiana and Southern Arkansas along the Arkansas/Louisiana state line. There was little lightning associated with this convection, but they did produce damaging winds which downed a number of trees and power lines throughout the early morning hours over these areas. These damaging winds weakened just before daybreak on the 24th as they moved into more stable air over Southcentral Arkansas and Northcentral Louisiana. Note: The estimated wind gust of 56 knots is equivalent to 64 mph. Smith County 1 SW Lindale 30 1430CST 0 0 0.00K 0.00K Hail (1.00) Quarter size hail reported in the Pool Park area near FM Road 849.

A warm front lifted north through the region during the evening hours on March 29th, through the morning hours on March 30th, which returned a warm, moist, and unstable air mass back into the area. Meanwhile, an upper level low pressure area and associated trough over the Great Basin and Desert Southwest resulted in a southwest flow aloft which sent upper level disturbances northeast into the Southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed during the morning and early afternoon hours on the 30th over extreme Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and Southwest Arkansas near and north of the warm front, but showers and thunderstorms became more numerous during the afternoon and evening across the region, as they tapped into greater surface and elevated instability, increased wind shear, and stronger upper jet dynamics associated with the upper level disturbances. As a result, some of these storms became strong or severe during the afternoon and evening over portions of Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana. Marginally severe hail, periodic wind damage, and several funnel cloud reports were received.

TEXAS, South Panhandle
Following a Pacific cold front early in the morning, a potent upper low in southeast Colorado spread a belt of very strong southwesterly winds over much of the South Plains and Texas Panhandle. Winds of 30 to 45 mph with some gusts of 58 mph or greater occurred for up to several hours. The most intense wind gusts were focused in the southern Texas Panhandle and resulted in some power outages in Tulia from downed lines. A cinder block fence in Plainview was also toppled from the high winds. Fortunately, the lack of severe drought conditions limited the extent and severity of blowing dust with most areas only seeing visibilities reduced to four or five miles during the peak of the high winds. The maximum wind gusts of 67 mph were recorded by two Texas Tech University West Texas mesonet stations: Mackenzie Reservoir at 1205 CST and Silverton at 1300 CST.

This pushed the river level at Burkeville to a record of 53.82 feet which was 5.77 feet higher than the previous record set in 1999. At Bon Weir the new record set on the 13th was 0.71 feet higher than the previous record set in 1913. At Deweyville the new record set on the 15th was 1 foot higher than the previous record set in 1884. Along the river numerous structures were flooded or in some cases, washed away. The hardest hit town was Deweyville where nearly every structure was flooded to some degree including the schools. County-wide, 458 homes received minor flood damage, 350 had major flood damage, and 500 homes were destroyed by the flood. Ten businesses received major flood damage. At least 60 million dollars is estimated to be the damage totals for homes and businesses, with an additional 26 million dollars for public property.
Multiple days of heavy rain fell across the Sabine River Valley causing massive flooding in the basin. Across the Toledo Bend Reservoir rainfall amounts averaged 15 to 20 inches.

He was found where alpinist Monique Richard, 41 of Canada, described last seeing her climbing partner Arvid Lathi, 58 of Norway, in the area of the Gibraltar Ledges route. They began their climb on Saturday morning, March 26. Private parties at Camp Muir reported overnight gear left there all day when no one returned to use it Saturday night. The park initiated search operations Sunday morning. That afternoon Richard was seen descending from the Gibraltar Ledges route to Camp Muir. Several individuals assisted her to the public shelter at Camp Muir. On Monday she was airlifted to a local hospital. An unresponsive climber was located in the area of the ledges by air reconnaissance on Monday, March 28. On the climbing team's descent from the summit on Saturday, March 26, they were caught out overnight in a winter storm, causing them to take shelter from extreme wind, blowing snow, and frigid temperatures on the lee side of a ridge. During this time it is believed that Lathi may have succumbed to exposure. In a separate incident, a 26-year-old man from Lacey was snowshoeing alone over the weekend and was also caught in the storm. He's doing OK but has some frostbite, Wold said.

Rain amounts of 0.75 to 1.0 inches fell in less than 3 hours during the evening. Browns Creek flooded the Mt Clare Road. Ann Run did overflow in Bridgeport, but only into yards. Runoff from hillsides found their way into the basements of a few homes. Urban street flooding was common. A vehicle hydroplaned into a ditch, causing a drain to back up. This sent flood waters over to a restaurant parking lot and into the store.
After daytime heating with temperatures in the 70s, a well defined disturbance in the winds aloft caused thunderstorms to form in eastern Kentucky during the early afternoon.

A strong late Winter and early Spring storm produced two areas of heavy snowfall across southern Minnesota, and into west central Wisconsin during the afternoon of March 23rd, through early morning of March 24th. The first band of heavy snowfall developed in portions of west central Wisconsin near River Falls and Spring Valley. Initially, this band was disorganized but became a solid enhanced band for several hours during the afternoon. Snowfall rates in this band ranged from 1/2 to locally 2 inches per hour. Due to very dry air on the northern edge of this band, snowfall amounts cutoff dramatically from over a foot, to only a few inches within 20 miles. This band quickly dissipated during the evening and ended before midnight. 6 to 8 inches of snowfall was common before it ended during the evening. As the northern band began to dissipate, a secondary area of snowfall developed across northern Iowa, and moved into southern Minnesota during the late evening, and early morning hours of Wednesday March, 24th, and also affected portions of west central Wisconsin around Durand and Eau Claire. This secondary band had snowfall rates as high as 1 to 2 inches per hour, and mainly affected Eau Claire County with locally 10 to 12 inches from south of Eau Claire to Augusta. The following are some of the heavier snowfall totals from this storm. 12.50 inches north of Augusta, WI 12.00 inches in Augusta, WI 10.50 inches in Eau Claire, WI 10.30 inches south of Elk Mound, WI 10.00 inches near Prescott, WI.

The combination of a slow moving upper level low passing over Utah and Colorado, powerful jet dynamics, and favorable northerly upslope flow produced very heavy snow across portions of western and central Wyoming. Fremont and Natrona counties were the hardest hit areas. Around two feet of snow fell in Lander and the surrounding foothills with 12 to 18 inches around Riverton. The 15.4 inches of snow measured by the cooperative observer in Riverton was the most in a single storm since 1999. In Natrona County, 10 to 18 inches fell in and around Casper with up to 30 inches on Casper Mountain. More impressively, most of the snow in Natrona County fell in a 12-hour period. Widespread snowfall totals of 12 to 20 inches were recorded in the Wind River, Salt River, Wyoming, and Absaroka mountain ranges. The heavy snow, falling temperatures, and gusty wind of 15 to 25 mph combined to close several roads at the height of the storm. These roads included interstates 25 and 90, US Highway 20/26, and State Highway 28 over South Pass.

The supercell thunderstorm which produced strong damaging outflow winds in Daggett County moved into nearby Uintah County and spawned a funnel cloud which was observed for well over 5 minutes before the rotation made contact with the ground. The tornado remained over open country during its existence. Although the rotation was on the ground for about 9 minutes, it was estimated to have only traveled about one mile during that time. After the rotation lifted off the ground, the funnel cloud persisted for at least another 5 minutes. A strong rotating thunderstorm produced damaging outflow winds in Daggett County and continued on into Uintah County where it produced a relatively long-lived but short track tornado.
