Severe storms swept across the Plains, Lower and Middle Mississippi Valley, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic from May 3- 5. Hazards included damaging tornadoes, large hail, strong straight-line winds, and flash flooding. Total combined economic losses were anticipated to exceed USD850 million. Most of the hail and wind-related damage was insured.
A series of frontal systems resulted widespread severe weather from May 6-11. Parts of the Plains, Middle and Lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast were impacted by large hail, damaging straight-line winds, tornadoes, and flooding. Hail the size of softballs affected portions of Texas, particularly north of Fort Worth. Total economic losses were estimated at up to USD350 million.
Persistent moisture from the Gulf of Mexico aided in severe weather and flash-flooding across the Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley between May 14-19. On May 17, flash flood emergencies were issued for localities in southeastern Texas and southern Louisiana. Concurrently, daily severe storms generated damaging hail, strong straight-line winds, and brief tornadoes. Total economic losses from the severe weather and flooding were estimated at USD1.1 billion. A large portion of the flood-related damage in Louisiana was likely to be uninsured.
Parts of the Rockies and Plains were affected by severe weather from May 22-27. Dozens of tornado touchdowns were confirmed in Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, though most of the damage to property and agriculture was due to hail and damaging straight-line winds. Total combined economic losses were expected to reach into the hundreds of millions (USD). A majority of the property damage costs will be insured.
Multiple clusters of storms ahead of a cold front left notable non-tornadic wind damage in the Northeast and Mid- Atlantic on May 26. Regions of Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia were most impacted. Gusts exceeding 60 mph (95 kph) resulted in significant instances of downed trees and power lines. Total economic costs were anticipated to reach into the hundreds of millions (USD).
Powerful thunderstorms spawned damaging hail, tornadoes, and isolated flash flooding in parts of the Rockies and Plains from May 29-31. At least one person was killed. Sections of Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas were most affected. Very large hail pelted localities in Oklahoma and Texas, while flash flooding occurred across central and southern New Mexico. Total economic losses were expected to be at least USD100 million.
