Widespread showers and thunderstorms ahead of a cold front lifted northward across the tri-state area on Sunday, April 22, 2018. While overall damage reports with the thunderstorms were limited, strong low level shear caused rotation in numerous storms. Despite the strong low level shear, instability was limited and the resultant storm mode was mini-supercells. A few reports of trees and even a downed street sign were reported in Houston county, AL. Despite the low-topped convection, the core of one storm in Lanier county, GA was also strong enough to produce nickel sized hail. While rotation was noted in multiple storms and a few tornado warnings were issued, only one storm produced a tornado that moved through Dale county, AL.

A strong front lifted north with a few short-waves moving across the coast mountains on Thursday 4/5. Cross-barrier flow was minimal at the critical level, but warming aloft will created an inversion at the ridgetop along Gastineau Channel, and cross-barrier gradient at the surface was quite strong. All three ingredients caused a Taku wind event for Downtown Juneau and Douglas on 4/5 into 4/6. Damage was minor.

A large area of low pressure over the desert southwest led to strong and gusty southwest to west winds during the afternoon hours on April 12th. Gusts that exceeded 40 mph at times resulted in areas of dense blowing dust that affected portions of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area; trained spotters as well as Department of Highways personnel reported visibility lowered to one quarter of a mile in a dust storm in the early afternoon hours. No thunderstorms were present at the time, the gusts were generated due to strong low level winds associated with the large low pressure system. Numerous products were issued during the day including Wind Advisories, Blowing Dust Advisories and Dust Storm Warnings.
(AZ-Z551) SOUTHEAST VALLEY/QUEEN CREEK 04/19/18 13:45 MST 0 Dust Storm 04/19/18 19:00 MST 0
A typical spring time weather pattern developed across the desert southwest; a dry area of low pressure moved into the area leading to strong and gusty southwest to west winds across the lower deserts during the afternoon hours. Wind gusts well in excess of 30 mph developed across the central deserts and they were sufficient to cause pockets of dense blowing dust, lowering visibility values well below one mile at times. Wind Advisory and Blowing Dust Advisory products were issued for many zones during the afternoon hours. Although visibility values mostly remained above one half mile, isolated occurrences where visibility dropped to one quarter mile or below were noted; a trained spotter in Sun Lakes reported visibility down to one eighth of a mile 2 miles east of Interstate 10 on Riggs Road at about 1400MST.

During the evening hours of Friday, April 13th, scattered supercells developed across northeast Louisiana within the broad warm sector of a strong surface cyclone centered near the Kansas/Nebraska border. These storms exhibited rotation almost immediately, and began producing tornadoes across northern Louisiana. Two tornadoes occurred in the NWS Jackson forecast area in association with a cell that tracked from near Rayville, LA north northeastward along the Boeuf River. These storms also produced strong wind as they continued into southeast Arkansas. Overnight, as the cold front associated with the storm system began to advance eastward, a quasi-linear convective system developed over the ArkLaTex and advanced eastward. These storms reached the western portion of the NWS Jackson forecast area after 2:30 am on Saturday, April 14th. Six tornadoes occurred during the early morning hours across southeast Arkansas and northeast Louisiana in association with this line of storms. The storms continued to produce damaging straight-line winds, knocking down trees and power lines in many areas, through the morning hours as it continued eastward into Mississippi. A few additional tornadoes also developed along the line, including one in Flowood, one near Noxapater, one in western Lamar County, and an EF2 tornado in Meridian.

A warm front spread very warm, humid, and unstable air north across much of the Ark-La-Tex during April 2nd-3rd, ahead of an upper level trough of low pressure that entered the Southern Plains. A strong cold front ahead of this storm system moved into the region on the 3rd, with strong forcing within the warm sector along and ahead of the front resulting in numerous showers and thunderstorms as they organized into a squall line during the afternoon and evening. Some of these became severe, producing damaging winds across portions of Union County Arkansas. These showers and thunderstorms exited the region during the early evening hours of the 3rd.

An EF-1 tornado, with estimated maximum winds around 110 mph, touched down along Nick Springs Road just east of Spencer Lane. It uprooted and snapped trees here along with breaking several large branches. The tornado continued northeast and intersected Lawson Road, where it rapidly intensified to its strongest and widest point. It did considerable tree damage here and damaged the roofs of a number of homes, mobile homes, and barns in this location. Widespread tree damage was found here that included numerous uprooted and snapped trees. The tornado continued northeast where it uprooted several trees along Frisby Road, with a number of trees landing on homes. The tornado then continued northeast where it uprooted a number of trees along Rhodes Chapel Road before lifting.
A strong upper level trough of low pressure progressed east across the Southern Plains during the afternoon of April 13th, with a large warm sector of warm/humid air having expanded north across much of the Ark-La-Tex. A capping inversion delayed the onset of thunderstorm development until the late afternoon, where it eroded and large scale forcing increased with shortwave perturbations ahead of the trough and along/just ahead of a dry line as it mixed east to the Interstate 35 corridor or North and Central Texas. Given the moderate instability and strong wind shear that developed with the lead shortwave, scattered supercell thunderstorms developed across Northeast Texas during the late afternoon and moved into portions of Southwest Arkansas during the early evening, producing several reports of damaging winds, funnel clouds, and even an isolated tornado that touched down near Umpire in Northern Howard County. While a lull in the storms was observed during the mid and late evening, a line of severe thunderstorms developed along the

Damaging winds were prevalent at first with this line of severe thunderstorms, but a number of notches developed along the squall line as these storms moved into Union County Arkansas, resulting in two tornadoes touching down across Southern and Eastern Union County south and east of El Dorado. These severe thunderstorms exited Southcentral Arkansas after 230 am on the 14th.

US Air Force wind tower 0714 measured a peak wind gust of 36 knots from the west-southwest.
A strengthening low pressure system over the southeastern United States and a trailing cold front that pushed across the Florida peninsula helped fire up showers and thunderstorms, a few of which became strong. Ahead of the cold front, a surge of moisture with daytime heating and cold temperatures aloft created an unstable environment that was supportive for strong thunderstorm development. Strong southwest winds prevented the east coast sea breeze from developing. As showers and thunderstorms began to form in west central Florida, they move across the Florida peninsula during the late afternoon and evening. The storms became oriented in a line as they moved across the Volusia and Brevard coasts where they produced strong winds.

The Storm Prediction Center had designated a slight change of severe weather for all of east central Florida. A high amplitude shortwave over the Mississippi River Valley quickly moved south across the Florida peninsula during the afternoon and evening hours. A cold front associated with the intensifying trough was also observed crossing the Florida peninsula. Ahead of the cold front moderate thermodynamic instability with 700mb temperatures between -7 to -8 degrees Celsius, and 500mb between -9 to -10 degrees Celsius, resulting in lapse rates of 6-6.5 C/km. 90 knot winds atop a het streak over the north central Gulf of Mexico created resulting flow from the southwest. Numerous showers and thunderstorms developed along the cold front, eventually forming a line that crossed across all of east central Florida. A few storms produced strong winds along most of the coast, with two severe thunderstorms producing winds in excess of 50 knots in Brevard and Indian River counties.

The Merced River at Pohono Bridge exceeded it's food state of 10 feet between the morning of April 7 and the afternoon of April 8. It crested at 13.7 feet during the afternoon of April 7. The flooding closed Northside Drive and Southside Drive in Yosemite Valley which are the main roads in the valley.
April 2018 began with high pressure over the region which kept a dry airmass and much warmer than normal temperatures over the area. An upper trough off the Pacific Northwest coast pulled a deep plume of tropical moisture northward and brought periods of moderate to heavy precipitation to the area from the late evening of April 6 through the afternoon of April 7. This system was unusually warm for early April and snow levels were above 11000 feet for most of the duration of this event. Several stations over the higher elevations of the Southern Sierra Nevada measured between 2 and 3 inches of rain which resulted in accelerated snow melt and rapid runoff into the rivers over the higher elevations. River flooding was reported along the Merced River above New Exchequer Dam and several roads in Yosemite National Park were closed as a result. In addition there were reports of minor roadway flooding and rock slides in the Southern Sierra Foothills near Mariposa and over the higher Sierras south of Yosemite Park. Flooding was also reported in the Merced area and near Livingston during the morning of April 7. This storm also produced strong wind gusts over the Kern County Mountains and Deserts with several indicator sites reporting wind gusts above 60 mph.

High pressure returned to the area on April 8 and kept dry conditions through the morning of the 10th. A weak low pressure system pushed through Central California during the afternoon and evening of the 10th and brought a few light showers as well as much cooler temperatures. Another low pressure system moved through Central California on the evening of April 11 through the morning of April 12. This system produced strong wind gusts across the Kern County Mountains and Deserts where several stations reported wind gusts exceeding 58 mph. In addition, several reporting station in the San Joaquin Valley had gusts exceeding 40 mph. Although this system was moisture deficient, showers produced some light precipitation during the morning of April 12 mainly over the Southern Sierra Nevada with light snowfall being observed above 7000 feet.

A cold upper level trough moved through California on April 16 bringing light precipitation to Central California by early morning. A cold and very unstable airmass pushed into the area by the early afternoon hours. As a result, showers and thunderstorms developed over the San Joaquin Valley and Southern Sierra Foothills. Due to the showery nature of the precipitation, rainfall amounts varied; but generally ranged from a tenth of an inch to half an inch of rain in these areas. There were several reports of small hail and brief heavy rainfall. Higher elevations in the Southern Sierra Nevada picked up between 4 and 8 inches of new snowfall although portions of Yosemite National Park did pick up a bit more with Tuolumne Meadows measuring 14 inches of snow snowfall. Up to an inch of snow fell over the Kern County Mountains above 5000 feet while a few indicator sites measured brief wind gusts above 60 mph. The trough moved east of the area by the morning of April 17 with drier air building in behind it.

High pressure brought dry conditions and much above normal temperatures to the area between April 21 and April 26. Some all time record highs were broken across the area on the 23rd and 24th. An upper trough then pushed into the Pacific Northwest on April 27 with several impulses associated with this system crossing Northern California on the April 28 through April 30 bringing much cooler temperatures and increased winds to the area. On the evening of the 29th through the early morning of the 30th, strong wind gusts impacted the Kern County Mountains and Deserts where there were several reports of wind gusts exceeding 60 mph. A tractor trailer was blown over on its side near Mojave forcing another shutdown of SR 58. The strong winds finally subsided by the morning of April 30.

California Highway Patrol reporting mud/dirt/rocks covering northbound Highway 1 near Anderson Canyon.
A late season Atmospheric River impacted the area in early April. A very moist airmass made landfall across the North Bay before moving southward across the rest of the Bay Area. The Oakland sounding measured record PWAT values of 1.69". The absence of large scale forcing prevent record breaking rainfall. Enough rain did fall, however, to cause minoir/nuisance flooding across much of the region. Numerous flood advisories were issued. Storm total rainfall amounts up to 7" were reported. The bulk of the impacts were felt on April 6,7.

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg produced blizzard conditions over the far northeastern plains of Colorado, with high winds elsewhere. Snow and blowing snow produced extensive drifting snow up to 7 feet deep, along with near zero visibility. The dangerous conditions made the roads impassable and stranded motorists over northeast Lincoln, Logan, Phillips, Sedgwick, and Washington counties. Consequently, I-76 east of Sterling, I-70 east of Limon and nearly all other roads and highways across Northeast and East-Central Colorado were closed due to hazardous driving conditions. In total, more than a dozen semi-trucks were blown over. Eight semi trucks west of Akron, along Colorado Highway 34 were blown over. Blizzard conditions made it nearly impossible to get tow trucks to accidents and rescue stranded motorists. The dangerous conditions also caused widespread power outages and strayed cattle. Some livestock was lost, mainly calves.
Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted in the Hugo and Limon areas. A large tree, 2.5 ft in diameter, was knocked over in Hugo. Peak wind gusts included: 78 mph at Akron-Washington County Airport, 76 mph at Limon Municipal Airport, 72 mph in Hugo and Sterling, 71 mph near Bennett and Genoa, 65 mph at Briggsdale, 62 mph, 7 miles northwest of Boyero and Denver International Airport; 60 mph, 8 miles south of Holyoke and near Wiggins; 59 mph near Keenesburg, 12 miles east-northeast of Kiowa, 7 miles south of Shamrock and Woodlin School; 58 mph at Agate, Front Range Airport in Watkins, Kassler and 11 miles west-northwest of Westplains.

Powerful post frontal bora winds blasted along the Front Range Foothills and across Northeast and East-Central Colorado. The damaging wind gusts ranged from 60 to 90 mph. A woman in Louisville died after she was struck by a falling tree branch. She stopped to rest under a tree when a large branch broke off and struck her in the head. The winds uprooted trees, shattered windows, sprayed roof shingles, tossed outdoor furniture like toys and knocked over semitrailer trucks. It also blew up dust and debris, limiting visibility for motorists. The intense winds caused extensive tree damage in and around Washington Park in Denver. The storm toppled trees onto homes and vehicles. A 70-foot spruce tree slammed into the roof of a residence and cut through the ceiling of the master bedroom. A 3-month-old infant was sleeping in the room but uninjured. Several trees were uprooted and destroyed. A streetlight came down on an SUV in Denver.
The gusty conditions forced officials to close a number of roadways or place high-wind restrictions. Around 64,000 Xcel Energy customers experienced some sort of outage related to near-hurricane force winds that toppled trees and power poles. Service was not restored for approximately 5,000 customers until the following day. At Denver International Airport, delays occurred as two runways were temporarily shut down and 25 flights were diverted. Late in the morning, strong winds fanned the flames of a house fire near Castle Rock. Two homes were destroyed by the fire and 5 others were damaged. The fire started in the garage of one residence then was fanned by strong winds that spread the fire from one house to the others.
Peak wind reports included: 89 mph in Louisville, 86 mph at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, 83 mph at the National Wind Technology Center, 81 mph near Eldorado Springs, 79 mph, 4 miles east of Buckeye; 78 mph near Gold Hill and Akron, 74 mph at Cheesman Reservoir, 73 mph, 7 miles east of Ponderosa Park; 72 mph near Longmont; 72 mph near Erie, 71 mph at Bennett, 70 mph at Denver International Airport, 69 mph at Keenesburg, 68 mph at Briggsdale, Limon Municipal Airport, Mead and Sterling; 67 mph near Brighton, Buckley AFB and Strasburg; 66 mph near Hygiene, 64 mph, 9 miles north of Manila Village; 63 mph near Woodlin School, 63 mph at Beverly Hills, 60 mph at Centennial Airport, Front Range Airport, Nunn; 58 mph at Agate.

The 117 Wildfire ignited on April 17th just off of I-25 exit 117 (hence the name), south of Fountain, CO in southern El Paso County. The car eventually spread into northern Pueblo County as well. A car dragging a muffler down the interstate caused sparks that ignited the fire, as witnessed by multiple people. Strong winds, low RH, and dry fuels allowed the fire to spread rapidly. The fire was 100% contained on April 19th after burning 42,795 acres, making it the 8th largest wildfire in Colorado recorded history. The fire destroyed 18 homes, multiple outbuildings, and caused the evacuation of around 1,000 people. The fire is estimated to have caused $1.3 million worth of damage.

A strong backdoor cold front moved from northeast to southwest across the area Saturday night April 15th into Sunday morning April 16th. Not only was there a significant drop in temperature coinciding with the passage of the front, but also a stark difference between high temperatures on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, high temperatures ranged from low to mid-80s, but only made it to the mid-40s on Sunday. In general, there was a 35 to 40 degree temperature drop from Saturday to Sunday!
The backdoor front became stationary south of the region then moved northward as a warm front Sunday night into Monday morning. Meanwhile, a strong cold front approached from the west and swept across the area Monday afternoon and evening, along with an attendant area of low pressure. This robust storm system tapped large amounts of moisture, which was lifted along the warm front as overrunning precipitation, and along the cold front as a line of showers and thunderstorms.
As a result, heavy rainfall occurred across the region. A widespread 1 to 3 inches of rainfall occurred, with localized amounts over 4 inches. As a result, flooding occurred across portions of the area.
Along the coast, an extended period of onshore flow occurred, beginning with east-northeast winds Saturday Night, which then shifted

A mid level closed low at 500 mb across western Tennessee with a surface low pressure across northern Georgia caused the predominant southwest/west-southwest winds to veer to the west across east central Florida. A drier, cooler air mass moved in across the northern half of east central Florida through the afternoon hours, which led to greater instability across the Treasure Coast. Deep moisture moved eastward across southern Osceola and Okeechobee counties and the Treasure Coast resulting in the development of strong to severe thunderstorms from Okeechobee to St. Lucie to Maritn counties. One severe thunderstorm produced hail and strong winds in Hobe Sound, while a second severe thunderstorm produced golf ball sized hail in Tequesta.

Summary: A waterspout or funnel cloud was observed backlit by lightning over Florida Bay shortly before making landfall as a tornado at Indian Mound Trail of the Indian Waterways subdivision of Plantation Key, Islamorada. Large gumbo limbo tree limbs were downed as well as the top of a palm tree, landing 20 yards from streetside the front steps of a residence. And adjacent residence had a rolling driveway gate completely dislodged from its mounts, pushed into a trailered boat and car. The tornado continue to produce mostly damage to large limbs of hardwood trees, including gumbo limbo and mahogany, in a path rarely exceeded two residential properties in width toward the east-northeast. An entire gutter and downspout system was removed from a residence. Numerous loose items, including filled trash cans and lawn/patio furniture was moved from the backyards and understory of homes onto front lawns and streets. Most of the observed damage in the Indian Waterways community were consistent with 60 to 70 mph, with possible spot values near 75 mph.
The tornado crossed a patch of mangroves and undeveloped forest, and reached greatest intensity at San Pedro Catholic Church. There, a large tree split at the trunk, and an old-growth mahogany was uprooted, falling toward the east onto a portion of the structure connecting the rectory with the main church. Fortunately, the upper portion of the tree did not substantially damage the roof, with no leaks observed in the downpour that followed. However, several barrel tiles were removed from the peak ridges forming the hip roof pattern over the rectory, as well as from the southeast edge of the church, onto the top of the church's main entrance. Numerous large limbs were downed toward the east, with lightweight free-standing signs deposited northward cross the tornado path from right to left. Estimated wind speeds were maximized in the range of 90 to 100 mph with maximum width near 60 yards. Good impact reference made to the observed wind impacts at this location from recent Hurricane Irma, all having previously been removed or repaired.
The tornado continued toward the east-northeast, crossing U.S. Highway 1 and the Old Highway, but weakened such that only large tree limbs were downed. From this point, the tornado likely moved out over the oceanside as a waterspout into Hawk Channel, southwest of the oceanside entrance to Tavernier Creek.
A fast-moving pre-frontal squall line passing through the upper Florida Keys developed an embedded supercell thunderstorm with attendant mesocyclone along the Florida Bay side of Upper Matecumbe Key. The supercell thunderstorm moved east-northeast, producing a waterspout which made landfall on the bayside of Plantation Key, Islamorada. The tornado crossed the Overseas Highway, exiting oceanside just southwest of Tavernier Creek. The waterspout then made a second landfall oceanside in Tavernier southeast of Tavernier Creek before dissipating.

A developing upper low northwest of the state, in combination with tropical moisture, induced periods of heavy showers and thunderstorms, and generated historic flash flooding conditions over the Garden Isle of Kauai. An apparent 24-hour rainfall total of 49.69 inches, ending at 1245 HST April 15th, was recorded at an automated rain gauge in Waipa, Kauai, about a mile west of Hanalei. If this total is certified, it will be a new 24-hour rainfall record for the United States, beating the old record of about 43 inches in Alvin, TX, on July 25-26, 1979.
The deluge, mainly over northern Kauai but also affecting East Oahu, damaged or destroyed farms and various structures, including 532 homes; downed trees and power lines; flooded homes, businesses and vehicles; and closed and damaged numerous roadways with water and debris flows, with highway and road repairs estimated at $35 million. There were apparently no significant injuries, but material losses will be extremely exorbitant, with public property damages alone estimated at $19.7 million. Hawaii's state legislature already approved, as of April 25th, $100 million in relief aid for flood-ravaged communities on Kauai and Oahu. (The aid package was later increased to $125 million.).

Even though rainfall was pretty close to normal in April, flooding continued because the heavy rainfall in March primed the ground for more flooding. A few river gages were above flood stage for virtually the entire month of April, including the Ohio River gages at Grand Chain, Cairo, and Brookport. Most of the flooding was minor, affecting low-lying woods and fields near the rivers. Many secondary roads in river bottomlands were flooded. Riverside parks were partially or completely flooded. Flooding of farmland was extensive, and farmers were forced to delay the planting of crops. Corn is normally planted by mid May.

An outbreak of severe thunderstorms occurred during the afternoon and evening. Several tornadoes were spawned along a line of fast-moving thunderstorms. Four of the tornadoes were associated with a persistent circulation that moved east across Williamson and Saline Counties, passing just north of Marion and Harrisburg. The circulation exited southern Illinois along the Wabash River southeast of Carmi. A fifth tornado was associated with a circulation that tracked east across Massac and Pope Counties in the southern tip of the state. The severe storm outbreak occurred ahead of a cold front that accelerated east-southeast toward the mid Mississippi Valley. Cooling aloft ahead of a shortwave trough over the Plains, combined with diurnal heating and moist southerly winds, resulted in a corridor of deepening convection ahead of the front. Steep mid-level lapse rates and strong effective wind shear promoted some large hail within the strongest storms.

A rare April snowfall was observed in southern Illinois, mainly south of the Interstate 64 corridor. As surface low pressure moved from east Texas into Mississippi and Alabama, most precipitation on the afternoon and evening of April 6th stayed to the south. However, a secondary low developed and interacted with enough leftover moisture to produce a band of precipitation overnight into the morning hours on April 7th. Cold air funneled into the region through the night, allowing precipitation to quickly change over to snow, with a very brief transition period of sleet for some locations. Many locations picked up anywhere from 0.5" to 1.2" of snow, particularly in the southern tip of the state. This was the 1st measurable snow in the month of April since 1983 for many locations. Impacts to travel were minimal due to warm pavement temperatures, which melted the snow on roadways. The highest reported snow amount was 1.2 inches in Golconda in Pope County.

Moderate flooding continued on the White River from late March. At the Petersburg river gage, the river crested at 25.49 feet on April 9. Flood stage there is 16 feet. A flood has exceeded the 25-foot level each year since January, 2004. This flood crest was just a few inches higher than the crest a month earlier, in March. Evacuations began from river cabins. Livestock were moved. Water reached State Route 257. Extensive flooding of low-lying areas inundated numerous Pike County roads, some by several feet of water. These roads included 750N, 600N, 1000E, 250W, 400W, 675N, 700N, 1000W, 900W, 700W, and 775W.
The White River remained above flood stage from late March through mid April. Even though rainfall was pretty close to normal in April, flooding continued from March because the moist ground was primed for more flooding. The main effect of the flooding was to delay the planting of crops in low-lying agricultural land near the river. Corn planting is normally done by mid May.

Moderate flooding continued on the Wabash River from late March. At the New Harmony river gage, the river crested at 20.68 feet on April 11th. Flood stage there is 15 feet. Flooding of farmland was extensive, and farmers were forced to delay the planting of crops. Corn is normally planted by mid May. Floodwaters encroached on parts of northern New Harmony, requiring sandbagging in town. Harmonie State Park was partially inundated and closed. Some stripper oil wells were flooded along the river from New Harmony south. The river was three miles wide at Interstate 64. Considerable flooding of bottomland agricultural land occurred. Some rural county roads were impacted.
The Wabash River remained above flood stage from late March through much of April. Even though rainfall was pretty close to normal in April, flooding continued because the heavy rainfall in March primed the ground for more flooding. The severity of the flooding was moderate.

Minor flooding occurred on the Ohio River for much of April. Even though rainfall was pretty close to normal in April, flooding continued from March because the moist ground was primed for more flooding. The main effect of the flooding was to delay the planting of crops in low-lying agricultural land near the river. Corn planting is normally done by mid May. Some rural roads were closed by backwater flooding of tributary creeks such as Pigeon Creek. Basements along the Evansville riverfront began to fill.

A rare April snowfall was observed in southwest Indiana, mainly south of the Interstate 64 corridor. As surface low pressure moved from east Texas into Mississippi and Alabama, most precipitation on the afternoon and evening of April 6th stayed to the south. However, a secondary low developed and interacted with enough leftover moisture to produce a band of precipitation overnight into the morning hours on April 7th. Cold air funneled into the region through the night, allowing precipitation to quickly change over to snow, with a very brief transition period of sleet for some locations. Many locations picked up anywhere from 0.5" to 1" of snow, particularly along the Ohio River. Impacts to travel were minimal due to warm pavement temperatures, which melted the snow on roadways. The highest reported snow amount was 1 inch in Newburgh in Warrick County.

A surface low pressure system ejected off of the Rockies and into SE Colorado late on April 2nd and began an eastward track across southern Kansas and central Missouri. With Iowa firmly north of the surface low, concerns revolved around cold air and snowfall potential with the deformation band on the back side of the surface low followed by a quick hitting shortwave. As the event unfolded throughout April 3rd, northern Iowa found itself within the best environment to see periods of heavy snowfall. By the end of the event, a few spots in northern Iowa saw up to around 8 inches of heavy snowfall.

Just a few days after a snowfall event, northern Iowa found itself in the cross hairs once again. This time a low pressure system was slowly making its way southeast through South Dakota, eastern Nebraska, and southwest Iowa. As a result, much of Iowa found itself in the warm air advection and wrap around wings of the surface low. Accumulating snowfall was reported as far south as about Highway 30, while the heaviest snowfall was kept north of Highway 20. As much as 7 to 9 inches of snow fell in areas in and around Cerro Gordo, Emmet, and Winnebago counties.

Off-duty NWS Employee reports damage to a business sign on the north side of town.
A tight low pressure system tracked its way out of north central Kansas on the 12th and slowly meandered northeast near the Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa borders by the early afternoon on the 13th. A relatively stationary warm front draped itself across far southern Iowa, separating temperatures in the upper 70s to the south and 50s to low 60s to the north of the boundary respectively by the afternoon. With the triple point in west to southwest Iowa, storms had little issue initiating by the mid-afternoon hours, quickly growing downstream both south and north of the warm front. With much of the Iowa north of the front, storms were elevated in nature, but produced large amounts of hail and damaging winds. The severe reports began just before 4pm and storms continued to remain near-severe to severe well into the evening, eventually transitioning away from hail as the primary threat and towards damaging winds. Even as the severe storm threat diminished very strong winds remained, including gusts in excess of 60 mph, in the presence of a very tight surface pressure gradient. The same system produced blizzard conditions across northern Iowa on the 14th. Please see the separate entry for the blizzard portion of this event.

A potent low pressure system meandered its way across the central Plains on the 13th through 15th, eventually occluding, as it tracked eastward along the Nebraska-Kansas and Iowa-Missouri borders. Because of its slow movement and tight surface pressure gradient, blizzard conditions were seen over large parts of northwest and northern Iowa during the day of the 14th of April. The worst blizzard conditions lasted roughly from early to mid morning through mid to late afternoon. Snowfall amounts were quite tremendous in spots, with as much as 12 to 16 inches reported in a number of locations across far northern Iowa. The same system produced severe weather across central and southern on the 13th. Please see the separate entry for the severe weather portion of this event.

Northern Iowa found itself in the cross hairs of yet another April winter storm, the 4th to this point. A surface low pressure system slid off the Rockies on the 17th and worked its way across northern Kansas. By the early morning hours on the 18th, the surface low tracked into central Missouri, placing Iowa north of the surface low and in line for showers, strong storms, and snow from the broad lift associated with warm air advection north of the warm front. A few strong to severe storms were seen prior to snowfall onset, with temperatures were generally right around freezing. Warm air aloft also contributed to a tricky transition to snow forecast. After initial thunderstorms and rain, snowfall began around 6 to 7 am across much of northern Iowa. By the time precipitation moved out during the late afternoon and evening, as much as a foot of snow fell near the Minnesota border. Accumulating snow was seen as far south as about Highway 30.
Note: Another event was created for this day for the winter weather aspect.

Eventually, influx of colder air would change all precipitation over to snow, and ushered in a record-breaking snowfall of 8 to 16 inches (some locations over 20 inches) and fierce winds gusting 50 to 60 mph to southeast South Dakota, southwest Minnesota, northwest Iowa and extreme northeast Nebraska. Snow drifts over 6 feet were reported in many locations. Extremely low visibility persisted for almost a day for most locations, making travel very difficult if not impossible.

Ridging aloft transitioned eastward across the Central Plains giving way to an increasingly diffluent southwest flow aloft across the Western High Plains. Meanwhile, a prevailing southerly flow at the surface increased low level moisture across central and much of western Kansas. This increased instability with SBCAPE values pushing upward of 1000 J/kg ahead of a strengthening lee side trough in extreme eastern Colorado contributed to an unstable atmosphere. As steep low/mid level lapse rates developed by mid to late afternoon, a few isolated thunderstorms developed off a sharpening dryline near the Colorado border as H5 vort maxima lifted out of the Southern Rockies into the high plains. Weak flow aloft and marginal shear hindered severe potential.

Similar to the day before, an upper level shortwave trough lifted northeast across the Central Rockies resulting in an increasingly diffluent southwest flow aloft across the Western High Plains. Meanwhile, a prevailing southerly flow continued to draw moisture into central and much of western Kansas ahead of an approaching dryline pushing surface dew points well up into the 50s(F). Increased instability with SBCAPE values upward of 1500 to 2000 J/kg and a modest +60kt upper level jet set the stage for a few isolated thunderstorms ahead of the dryline.

Local Emergency Management reported structural damage in and around Marrowbone southeast of Pikeville. A tree was blown onto a mobile home at Willow Tree Hollow, injuring one person inside. A home on Blair Adkins Road at Yellow Hill had its roof blown off.
A strong early spring cold front led to a line of showers and thunderstorms developing across the Midwestern U.S. this afternoon and later pushing through eastern Kentucky during the late evening and overnight hours. Initially, a few embedded supercell thunderstorms produced large hail due to their rotation and stronger updrafts. Damaging wind gusts ended up being the primary threat across eastern Kentucky as these features became organized into line segments later into the night.
Numerous reports of downed trees and power lines were received across southeastern Kentucky where the greatest amount of instability was present. Homes in Leslie, Letcher, and Pike Counties suffered extensive damage from trees falling onto them, including one at Willow Tree Hollow near Marrowbone and Regina southeast of Pikeville that led to an injury to a person inside. More scattered wind damage was also reported up toward and north of Mountain Parkway as individual storm cells embedded within the larger line intensified.

Widespread river flooding was observed on the Ohio River during the early and middle part of the month. Even though rainfall was pretty close to normal in April, flooding continued because the heavy rainfall in March primed the ground for more flooding. Most of the flooding was minor, affecting low-lying woods and fields near the rivers. Many secondary roads in river bottomlands were flooded. Riverside parks were partially or completely flooded. Flooding of farmland was extensive, and farmers were forced to delay the planting of crops. Corn is normally planted by mid May.

Clusters of strong to severe thunderstorms moved eastward out of southern Illinois and southeast Missouri. The storms produced four tornadoes over the far western counties of Kentucky before weakening as they moved east across the Kentucky Lake region. The most significant tornado, which occurred over Livingston County, was rated EF-2. The severe storms occurred ahead of a cold front that accelerated east-southeast toward the lower Ohio Valley. Cooling aloft ahead of a shortwave trough over the Plains, combined with diurnal heating and moist southerly winds, resulted in a corridor of convection ahead of the front. The storms weakened somewhat as they moved east across the Kentucky Lake region into slightly drier and more stable air.

A rare April snowfall was observed in western Kentucky. As surface low pressure moved from east Texas into Mississippi and Alabama, most precipitation on the afternoon and evening of April 6th stayed to the south. However, a secondary low developed and interacted with enough leftover moisture to produce a band of precipitation overnight into the morning hours on April 7th. Cold air funneled into the region through the night, allowing precipitation to quickly change over to snow, with a very brief transition period of sleet for some locations. Many locations picked up anywhere from 0.5" to 1.5" of snow. Impacts to travel were minimal due to warm pavement temperatures, which melted the snow on roadways. State highway personnel treated bridges and overpasses in some counties. The highest reported snow amount was 1.5 inches in the Paducah area and also at Mattoon in Crittenden County. This was the 1st measurable snow in the month of April since 1983 for some locations, including Paducah. In April of 2004, far southern portions of Kentucky from Murray to Hopkinsville were blanketed with light accumulations of snow.

During the evening hours of Friday, April 13th, scattered supercells developed across northeast Louisiana within the broad warm sector of a strong surface cyclone centered near the Kansas/Nebraska border. These storms exhibited rotation almost immediately, and began producing tornadoes across northern Louisiana. Two tornadoes occurred in the NWS Jackson forecast area in association with a cell that tracked from near Rayville, LA north northeastward along the Boeuf River. These storms also produced strong wind as they continued into southeast Arkansas. Overnight, as the cold front associated with the storm system began to advance eastward, a quasi-linear convective system developed over the ArkLaTex and advanced eastward. These storms reached the western portion of the NWS Jackson forecast area after 2:30 am on Saturday, April 14th. Six tornadoes occurred during the early morning hours across southeast Arkansas and northeast Louisiana in association with this line of storms. The storms continued to produce damaging straight-line winds, knocking down trees and power lines in many areas, through the morning hours as it continued eastward into Mississippi. A few additional tornadoes also developed along the line, including one in Flowood, one near Noxapater, one in western Lamar County, and an EF2 tornado in Meridian.

The tornado crossed the Cane River snapping and uprooting more trees. A wooden electrical pole was also snapped about halfway up its length. The tornado crossed Highway 119 and moved into a pecan orchard breaking more large branches. The tornado then moved into an adjacent open field and lifted. Local residents noted that a couple of the trees that sustained significant damage along the Cane River were in excess of 200 years old.
A warm front lifted north across much of East Texas and Southwest Arkansas by the afternoon hours on April 6th, with very warm, humid, and unstable air having spread in place across much of the Ark-La-Tex during the afternoon and evening hours. In addition to the surface based instability in place, very cold temperatures in the mid and upper level of the atmosphere resulted in very steep lapse rates further enhancing instability, with strong wind shear present in advance of a strong cold front which entered the Southern Plains during the afternoon ahead of a strong upper level trough of low pressure. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed along and just in advance of the cold front, many of which became severe producing large hail and damaging winds. These storms steadily marched east across North Louisiana during the mid afternoon through much of the evening hours before diminishing late with the passage of the cold front and upper trough.

A strong upper level trough of low pressure progressed east across the Southern Plains during the afternoon of April 13th, with a large warm sector of warm/humid air having expanded north across much of the Ark-La-Tex. A capping inversion delayed the onset of thunderstorm development until the late afternoon, where it eroded and large scale forcing increased with shortwave perturbations ahead of the trough and along/just ahead of a dry line as it mixed east to the Interstate 35 corridor or North and Central Texas. Given the moderate instability and strong wind shear that developed with the lead shortwave, scattered supercell thunderstorms developed across Northcentral Louisiana during the late afternoon through mid evening hours, producing numerous reports of damaging winds, and several tornadoes/funnel cloud reports. While a lull in the storms was observed, a line of severe thunderstorms developed along the dryline south of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, and progressed east into East Texas by late evening, and across North Louisiana after midnight on April 14th. Damaging winds and reports of hail were prevalent at first with this line of severe thunderstorms, but a number of notches developed along the squall line as these storms crossed into North Louisiana, resulting in several tornadoes touching down across areas along and north of the Interstate 20 corridor from Shreveport to Monroe. Of particular interest, the initial string of tornadoes first touched down just west of the Texas/Louisiana state line along the Harrison/Panola County line, with this supercell producing two separate tornadoes as it entered Shreveport. In fact, the tornado remained on the ground across much of western and central Shreveport, moving across the northern fringes of the property at the National Weather Service Office before moving across the Queensborough and Allendale neighborhoods and across Downtown Shreveport, before tracking across much of Bossier City along and just north of Interstate 20, crossing Interstate 220, and across the Red Chute and Princeton communities before lifting just west of the Bossier/Webster Parish line. These severe thunderstorms exited North Louisiana just after 3 am on the 14th.

However...the flooding did damage some culverts and bridges which needed repairs. Portions of some roads were washed out. Numerous logging roads in the North Maine Woods were particularly impacted from the flooding with washouts and varying degrees of damage.
An above average seasonal snowpack and cold start to April which delayed snow melt contributed to an above average late April snowpack across the region. Several lows crossing the region brought 1.00 to 2.00 inches of rain to northern Maine from the 25th into the 27th. At the same time...warm temperatures supported a rapid snowmelt which released several inches of additional water from the snowpack. With the ground already nearly saturated...runoff rapidly entered rivers and streams leading to rising water levels. Rivers and streams began to overflow their banks during the 26th. Numerous roads were flooded to varying depths and closed across Aroostook county. Some roads were able to re-open once the flooding subsided later on the 27th into the 28th. However...the flooding did damage culverts and bridges on some roads. Numerous logging roads were also washed out or damaged to varying degrees across the North Maine Woods with this event. Monetary damages with this event are unknown.

River and lake flooding occurred from late April into early May due to run-off from rain and melting of the remaining snowpack. The most significant impacts occurred along the Fish River and lakes across extreme northeast Aroostook county. Homes and other structures were flooded and damaged to varying degrees. Lake ice also contributed to the damage...destroying decks and forcing some buildings off their foundation. Roads were flooded and closed with damage to some roads...culverts and bridges.

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg snowpack. Rainfall from the last week of April through the first week of May generally ranged from 2.00 to 3.00 inches. This rain...along with melting of the remaining snowpack which released significant amounts of water...contributed to flooding of lakes and rivers across northern Aroostook county. The Fish River at Fort Kent rose above flood stage during the evening of April 29th. The river then crested around a foot above flood stage...at moderate flood stage...from May 3rd into the 4th. The river crested at the second highest level ever on record. The river then slowly fell...dropping below flood stage during the evening of the 7th. Flooding along the Fish River resulted in the closure of roads and bridges. The flooding also impacted homes and camps (seasonal homes) along the river in the Soldier Pond area along with the Fish River chain of lakes. The Saint John River at Fort Kent crested slightly above flood stage early on the 1st. The river fell back slightly below flood stage later on the 1st. However...the river remained near flood stage for several days thereafter. Flood impacts from the Saint John River at Fort Kent were mostly confined to areas along the immediate river including the temporary closing of River Road and the flooding of parks. Rising lake levels began to cause problems late on April 29th into the 30th with waters starting to encroach on homes and camps located along the lakeshores. Lake levels continued to rise into early May eventually flooding basements and reaching the first floor of some homes. The lakes were still largely ice covered when water levels began to rise. The rising lakes and gusty winds eventually drove ice into some homes and camps. The pressure of the ice collapsed decks...damaged structures and forced some buildings off their foundation. Lake flood damage was reported on Portage Lake...Saint Froid Lake...Eagle Lake...Square Lake...Cross Lake and Long Lake. Some of the most significant impacts occurred around Portage Lake where numerous homes and camps were damaged due to the flooding and ice. On Long Lake...the causeway leading to Pelletier Island was flooded and closed. An estimated 65 buildings...many of them seasonal homes...were impacted to varying degrees by the lake flooding and ice. This event persisted into early May when the majority of the impacts occurred. Saturated ground along with runoff from rain and melting snow also contributed to a "creep" landslide on the River Road in Caribou which significantly damaged a portion of the road. The included monetary damages represent damage to public infrastructure. A significant portion of this money was related to road damage due to the landslide. Monetary damage to private property with this event is unknown.

Low pressure developed in the lee of the central Rockies, and tracked across far southern lower Michigan late in the evening on the 3rd. This system produced heavy, wet snow across most of northern Michigan, with some mixed precipitation reducing snow fall amounts south and east of Houghton Lake. This late-season system produced a foot or more of snowfall in many places, including 14 inches in Atlanta, 13 inches in Levering and Tower, and 12 inches in Suttons Bay, Rogers City, Petoskey, and Kinross. Winds gusts of 35 to 45 mph occurred on the 4th, resulting in area of blowing and drifting snow. The heavy snow and winds rendered many - if not most - roads impassable early on the 4th in some areas.

An extended period of wintry precipitation struck northern Michigan in mid April. This was a drawn-out event, but the heaviest precipitation occurred on the night of the 13th into early on the 14th, and again late the night of the 14th all the way into the morning of the 16th. The initial batch was driven by an area of low pressure that crossed from the mid-Mississippi Valley into the southern Great Lakes. This produced mostly snow north of M-72 in northern lower Michigan, with an icy wintry mix to the south. Snowfall amounts of 8 to 14 inches were common, centered on the Alpena, Gaylord, Bellaire, Maple City, and Lewiston areas. The next batch, centered on the 15th, produced an ugly, sleet-heavy wintry mix. This was driven as the primary low finally moved across Indiana and Ohio. One to five inches of sleet accumulations were common across most of northern Michigan. Some light freezing rain also fell at times, but was heavier south of M-72, where ice accumulations approached a quarter of an inch. Precipitation turned back to snow before ending, and eastern upper and far northern lower Michigan picked up another 6 to 9 inches of snow beofre the system exited for go.

A long-duration early Spring storm dropped several inches of snow from Monday, April 2nd, through late Tuesday night, April 3rd.
The first part of the storm developed across southern Minnesota Monday morning, and drifted northward, and affected areas along and north of Highway 212 during the afternoon, and evening. Locally 3 to 6 inches fell from Alexandria, to St. Cloud, Minnesota.
The second part of the storm developed across the Central Plains early Tuesday morning, and rapidly expanded northeast across the Upper Midwest.
Local radar and surface observations indicated that two waves of snow occurred with the second part of the storm. The first wave affected south central Minnesota, into west central Wisconsin Tuesday morning. The second wave moved across southwest, into south central, east central Minnesota, and eventually into west central Wisconsin from Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening.
By the time all the snow ended, snowfall amounts ranged from 3-6 inches across west central and southwest Minnesota, to 4-8 inches across central, east central, and south central Minnesota. Locally higher amounts were noted around the Twin Cities Metro area, St. Cloud and Dassel, Minnesota which is 100 miles west of the Twin Cities.
Two day totals were quite impressive for early April with the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport recording a daily snowfall record of 9.0 inches on April 3rd.

A prolonged snow storm event with historic snowfall totals for the month of April, started Friday, April 13th, and lasted until late Sunday night April 15th.
This event was split into several different precipitation hazards, which created concerns with communicating the impacts of sleet, snow, blowing snow and blizzard conditions. As the event unfolded, this storm began apparent that it would produce record snowfall amounts, along with the highest snowfall amounts so far into the month of April. Therefore, the wording changed from significant/severe winter storm, to historic.
The first part of the storm developed early Friday morning with bands of showers, and embedded thunderstorms moving northward along the Iowa border. Severe storms were noted south of the Iowa border, with one report of severe winds that occurred in far southwest Minnesota near Magnolia. These storms moved northward into colder air aloft and produced widespread areas of sleet, small hail, but no severe storms. However, there were numerous reports across southern Minnesota where the small hail, and sleet accumulated up to 2 inches in depth.
Several automated airport observing sites (ASOS/AWOS) reported heavy rainfall, sleet and thunderstorms through the morning, and into the afternoon for the southern 1/4 of the state. By the late morning, and into the afternoon, surface temperatures cooled in west central Minnesota where the precipitation changed over to snow. As the precipitation moved further north into central Minnesota, the precipitation changed over to snow. A few locations reported moderate to heavy snowfall where locally 2 to 4 inches fell in a short period of time west of St. Cloud, Minnesota.
The next round of precipitation was in the form of sleet and heavy rain in far southern Minnesota, with snow to the north in the evening. Most of this area of precipitation quickly moved off to the east, with a lull period until early Saturday morning with the main bands of heavy snowfall developed in southwest, and into west central and east central Minnesota by noon.
Total amounts through Saturday morning ranged from locally 6 inches in west central Minnesota, to an average of 1 to 3 inches from Redwood Falls through the Twin Cities, and into west central Wisconsin near Eau Claire. There was also a band of 2 to 4 inches that fell early Friday afternoon in central Minnesota. South of the Minnesota River valley, only trace amounts were noted, with some icy spots due to overnight sleet and patchy freezing rain.
By late Saturday morning, and into Saturday afternoon, the snowfall intensified and areal coverage widened across southern and central Minnesota, and into west central Wisconsin. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour were common by the afternoon before the heaviest snowfall began to taper off late Saturday evening.
The second round, and the third round of precipitation, occurred with the main storm system moving across Iowa and into the Great Lakes region late Saturday night, through late Sunday evening. After Saturday afternoon, snowfall intensity varied with some waves of heavy snowfall from Saturday night, and into Friday afternoon, but the majority of the snow was light.
The worst conditions occurred early Saturday morning, through Saturday afternoon in terms of high end impacts. Strong northeast winds developed in the morning and held in the 25 to 35 mph range, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph through the afternoon and early evening. At times, surface visibility was only a few hundred feet in open country. The strong winds also combined with the higher snowfall rates, to create blizzard conditions across most of southern Minnesota, west of Interstate 35. Even the inner core of the Twin Cities had visibility so low and strong winds that a blizzard warning was issued. This was the first blizzard warning issued for the Twin Cities Metro area since the blizzard of April 14, 1983. This blizzard grounded flights at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport for over seven hours Saturday, caused over 600 car accidents, nearly 1200 spin-outs, and approximately 20 jackknifed semi trailers. The storm also collapsed the 77-foot-high dome of the Vadnais Sports Center, and forced three consecutive Minnesota Twins home games to be postponed for the first time since Target Field opened. The storm caused the Minnesota Department of Transportation to close several county roads in west central, southwest and south central Minnesota Saturday morning, with Interstate 90 closed by noon, west of Blue Earth.
From Friday through Sunday morning, According to the state patrol, more than 50 injuries were reported from Friday through Sunday morning, two of which were listed as serious. One death occurred when a man in Medina ran across a highway and was struck by a vehicle.
Conditions slowly improved during the evening, but bands of snow continued. The wind speeds continued to weaken, but strong

As the storm ended, the following are some records from this storm.
15.8 inches of snowfall at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. This was the heaviest April snowstorm on record. It was also the 12th-heaviest snowstorm on record for any month. Plus, the airport had individual maximum snowfall totals on the day on the 15th and 16th. Additionally, by holding temperatures to the 20s or very low 30s during Saturday and Sunday, the storm enabled St. Cloud, and the Twin Cities to break records for the lowest high temperature of the day.
The following snowfall totals were the highest in the state.
21.4 inches near Madison. 20.5 inches near Victoria. 20.5 inches near Montevideo. 20.2 inches near North St. Paul. 20.0 inches near Dawson. 19.9 inches near downtown Minneapolis. 19.6 inches near St Bonifacius.

A small but strong winter storm moved across Iowa Wednesday, April 18th, and produced a swath of 6 to locally 11 inches of snow from Fairmont, to Albert Lea.
During the morning of Wednesday, April 18th, light snow began in far southern Minnesota, near the Iowa border, and slowly spread north and east during the day. There were periods of moderate to heavy snowfall along I-90 which produced a band of 6 to 11 inches of snow before the storm moved off to the east Wednesday evening.
The heaviest snowfall totals in far southern Minnesota include;
11.0 inches near Glenville. 10.0 inches near London. 9.8 inches near Bricelyn. 9.0 inches in Albert Lea.

This was an unusually strong mid-April snowstorm. The area of low pressure tracked slowly from the Central Plains to south of the Great Lakes before lifting into eastern Canada. It brought heavy snow as far north and west as northeast MN. Snow first spread in force Saturday (April 14th) afternoon into northwest WI and east-central MN from the southwest. The snow then spread into the rest of the Northland Saturday night into Sunday. The snow continued much of Sunday, then slowly diminished Sunday night into Monday. Snowfall amounts ranged from a trace in western areas of the CWA, to a little over a foot in parts of southern St. Louis County. This storm generated strong northeast winds over Lake Superior. Park Point in Duluth had frequent gusts to 50 mph Friday night and Saturday. The winds generated large waves of at least up to 15 feet over Lake Superior and along the shore from the Duluth area and along the north shore. There was some flooding near the ship canal and Lift Bridge in Duluth from the waves, and the waves were high enough to hit the bridge deck. Since it was cold, the waves and spray created a lot of icing along the Lake Superior shore. The high surf along the Minnesota shore of Lake Superior in Duluth led to coastal flooding and heavy damage to the lakewalk in Duluth. Damage estimates are in the $9 million price range.

Southeast Minnesota was covered with 6 to 9 inches of snow on April 3rd as an early spring snow storm moved across the region. Impacts from the snow were rather limited as it mainly fell during the daytime allowing melting to occur on most roads. Some schools did close for the day on the 3rd with several having late starts on the 4th. The highest reported total was 9 inches near La Crescent (Houston County), near Wabasha (Wabasha County) and in Plainview (Wabasha County).

Southeast Minnesota received between 5 and 12 inches of snow as another early spring storm moved across the Upper Midwest from April 13th into the 15th. In addition to the falling snow, additional impacts occurred as the wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph produced blowing and drifting snow that significantly reduced the visibility at times. The highest reported snowfall total was 12 inches in Lake City (Wabasha County) and the highest recorded wind gust was 55 mph by the automated weather observing equipment at the Rochester airport (Olmsted County).

A strong upper level jet pushing across the Rockies resulted in development of low pressure across southeast Colorado late on April 2, which intensified rapidly moving across Kansas and into Illinois on April 3. A broad swath of snow and gusty winds developed north of the low track across the area, with heaviest snowfall amounts in excess of 6 inches generally corresponding to highest terrain areas in south central and southeast South Dakota, northern portions of northwest Iowa and areas of southwest Minnesota. As unseasonably cold high pressure spread in behind the system on the morning of April 4, a few low temperature records were broken by as much as 5 to 15 degrees.

The most intense storm of the month, in fact many months, wrapped up across the central Plains on April 13, spreading a mix of wintry precipitation across the area, accompanied by numerous thunderstorms. Not included in this episode was the spotty severe hail and wind which occurred in southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota prior to the onset of snowfall during the morning and afternoon of April 13. Eventually, influx of colder air would change all precipitation over to snow, and ushered in a record-breaking snowfall of 8 to 16 inches (some locations over 20 inches) and fierce winds gusting 50 to 60 mph to southeast South Dakota, southwest Minnesota, northwest Iowa and extreme northeast Nebraska. Snow drifts over 6 feet were reported in many locations. Extremely low visibility persisted for almost a day for most locations, making travel very difficult if not impossible.

During the evening hours of Friday, April 13th, scattered supercells developed across northeast Louisiana within the broad warm sector of a strong surface cyclone centered near the Kansas/Nebraska border. These storms exhibited rotation almost immediately, and began producing tornadoes across northern Louisiana. Two tornadoes occurred in the NWS Jackson forecast area in association with a cell that tracked from near Rayville, LA north northeastward along the Boeuf River. These storms also produced strong wind as they continued into southeast Arkansas. Overnight, as the cold front associated with the storm system began to advance eastward, a quasi-linear convective system developed over the ArkLaTex and advanced eastward. These storms reached the western portion of the NWS Jackson forecast area after 2:30 am on Saturday, April 14th. Six tornadoes occurred during the early morning hours across southeast Arkansas and northeast Louisiana in association with this line of storms. The storms continued to produce damaging straight-line winds, knocking down trees and power lines in many areas, through the morning hours as it continued eastward into Mississippi. A few additional tornadoes also developed along the line, including one in Flowood, one near Noxapater, one in western Lamar County, and an EF2 tornado in Meridian.

The largest stone reported this afternoon was 2 inches in the city of Olathe just on the other side of the Kansas/Missouri border.

Telephone poles were down. Tree limbs were blown down. A house sustained some minor roof damage.
An organized outbreak of severe thunderstorms occurred. Most of the severe weather reports were generated by two intense storm clusters. The first cluster crossed the Ozark foothills between Van Buren and Doniphan, then proceeded due east across Poplar Bluff and Dexter to the Mississippi River. This cluster occasionally acquired supercell characteristics. Large hail from 1 to 3 inches in diameter was common during most of its life cycle in southeast Missouri. A couple of tornadoes were spawned as well. A second less intense cluster moved east across southern Bollinger and Cape Girardeau Counties. This cluster produced hail up to the size of golf balls and an isolated wind gust up to near 60 mph. The severe storm outbreak occurred ahead of a cold front that accelerated east-southeast toward the mid Mississippi Valley. Cooling aloft ahead of a shortwave trough over the Plains, combined with diurnal heating and moist southerly winds, resulted in a corridor of deepening convection ahead of the front. Steep mid-level lapse rates and strong effective wind shear promoted some very large hail within discrete storm cells.

A rare April snowfall was observed in southeast Missouri. As surface low pressure moved from east Texas into Mississippi and Alabama, most precipitation on the afternoon and evening of April 6th stayed to the south. However, a secondary low developed and interacted with enough leftover moisture to produce a band of precipitation overnight into the morning hours on April 7th. Cold air funneled into the region through the night, allowing precipitation to quickly change over to snow, with a very brief transition period of sleet for some locations. Many locations picked up anywhere from 0.5" to 1" of snow, particularly in the southeast corner of the state. This was the 1st measurable snow in the month of April since 1983 for many locations. Impacts to travel were minimal due to warm pavement temperatures, which melted the snow on roadways. The highest reported snow amount was 1 inch in Sikeston and East Prairie, both south of Cape Girardeau.

Low temperatures fell into the mid and upper 20's across southeast Missouri. The cold weather was accompanied by a coating of snow and some gusty winds. Fruit growers had expected that temperatures in the 20's would cause damage. Some nurseries at big box retailers had begun selling warm weather flowering plants and vegetables. Many ornamental trees and shrubs were in flower except for dogwoods and azaleas.

For the second consecutive morning, low temperatures fell below freezing. Lows ranged from the lower 20's in Wayne, Bollinger, and Perry Counties to the lower 30's from Poplar Bluff east to Sikeston and New Madrid. The back-to-back freezes adversely impacted fruit crops and some flowering plants and shrubs. The high pressure that brought the cold weather was centered over the middle and upper Mississippi Valley early on the 8th. The overall impact of the freezes was generally light. The peach and apple crops survived in good shape.

An atmospheric river impacting the western U.S. pushed a steady plume of moisture over a cold air mass. Temperatures ranged from near zero along the Hi-Line to the 40s in the southwest valleys. The first round of snow began late Wednesday night, April 4th, and peaked early Thursday (April 5th) with a broad band of snow across central MT. After a brief lull, wherein daylight warmed road surface temperatures enough to cause melting, the next round of snow began to develop Thursday afternoon. Snow continued Thursday night into Friday morning (April 6th) while temperature dropped further. Both systems produced snow on icy roads just in time for the morning drive Thursday and Friday mornings.

Yet another spring storm system brought widespread precipitation (a mix of rain and snow) to a large portion of Central and Southwest Montana. It was a heavy, wet snow with many areas reporting 1”/hr snowfall rates at times. The heavier snowfall rates overcame the warmer ground and air temps, allowing snow to accumulate. This event is also noteworthy because of the significant liquid-equivalent precipitation amounts that occurred.

A winter storm produced blizzard conditions across western and north central Nebraska. Snow developed and winds intensified Friday morning, in the panhandle and western Sandhills, then spread east through the evening and overnight hours, where the snow was mixed with sleet at times. On Friday, thunderstorms developed with dime sized hail being reported in Holt county. The blizzard conditions continued Saturday morning, with conditions improving Saturday afternoon, as the snow and winds diminished. The heaviest snow occurred from the eastern panhandle into west central and north central Nebraska. These areas received 6 to 10 inches, with locally higher amounts of 12 to 14 inches. Strong northwest winds increased to 30 to 40 mph with gusts from 50 to 60 mph at times, beginning Friday afternoon and continuing Friday night into Saturday morning. This created blizzard conditions and resulted in snow drifts several feet high and multiple highway closures, including Interstate 80.

A strong upper level jet pushing across the Rockies resulted in development of low pressure across southeast Colorado late on April 2, which intensified rapidly moving across Kansas and into Illinois on April 3. A broad swath of snow and gusty winds developed north of the low track across the area, with heaviest snowfall amounts in excess of 6 inches generally corresponding to highest terrain areas in south central and southeast South Dakota, northern portions of northwest Iowa and areas of southwest Minnesota. As unseasonably cold high pressure spread in behind the system on the morning of April 4, a few low temperature records were broken by as much as 5 to 15 degrees.

The most intense storm of the month, in fact many months, wrapped up across the central Plains on April 13, spreading a mix of wintry precipitation across the area, accompanied by numerous thunderstorms. Not included in this episode was the spotty severe hail and wind which occurred in southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota prior to the onset of snowfall during the morning and afternoon of April 13. Eventually, influx of colder air would change all precipitation over to snow, and ushered in a record-breaking snowfall of 8 to 16 inches (some locations over 20 inches) and fierce winds gusting 50 to 60 mph to southeast South Dakota, southwest Minnesota, northwest Iowa and extreme northeast Nebraska. Snow drifts over 6 feet were reported in many locations. Extremely low visibility persisted for almost a day for most locations, making travel very difficult if not impossible.
One person was killed in Rock County when the snowmobile he was riding collided with an interstate guard rail.

A deep trough again progressed through the Rockies and evolved to a compact closed mid-level circulation drifting across eastern Nebraska and Iowa on April 18. Weak instability resulted in some scattered thunder with sleet and snow from the lower Missouri River valley through northwest Iowa. Marginally warmer temperatures aloft allowed for some light mixed precipitation early on April 18, but a quick transition to snow occurred in the pre-dawn hours, leaving behind between 2 and 6 inches snowfall across areas of northeast Nebraska.

Snow is not usually associated with Easter, but this Sunday looked and felt a lot more like winter than early spring across South Central Nebraska...albeit more so in some places than others. While most of the 24-county area received at least a dusting up to a few inches, a fairly narrow, roughly 15-25 mile wide corridor accumulated markedly higher amounts ranging generally 4-11". The heart of this band was oriented west-northwest to east-southeast, centered roughly along a line from Elwood-Minden-Blue Hill-Bruning. According to reports from a variety of official and unofficial sources, some of the highest totals concentrated near the Fillmore-Thayer County line, featuring: 11.0" at Carleton, 10.8" near Belvidere and 9.5" near Shickley. Totals from a few larger towns in and near this main band included: 8" in Minden and 6" in Holdrege, Blue Hill and Clay Center. Lower amounts within the northern and southern fringes of the band included: 5.1" at NWS Hastings, 3.8" at Kearney and 3.4" in Hebron. Despite fairly hefty snow amounts in some spots, this event was relatively low impact, with little-to-no blowing and drifting thanks to winds averaging 10 MPH-or-less. However, slick roads did contribute to a single-fatality traffic accident on the northeast side of Grand Island.
As for timing, the majority of snow accumulated during the pre-dawn hours, starting in western counties around midnight and steadily spreading east within a few hours. After daybreak, mainly light snow hung on several more hours, ending in the west generally between 10 AM-noon CDT, and vacating far southeast areas around Hebron by 2 PM CDT. Turning to the meteorology behind this Easter event, this was a fairly textbook case of pronounced mid-level frontogenesis migrating across the Central Plains in broad west-northwest flow, especially evident around 700 millibars. At the surface, a sharp cold front had passed through on March 31st,

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg ushering in an unseasonably-cold airmass. By the time snow broke out, a strong high pressure system (nearly 1030 millibars) settled into the region, keeping winds light. Although not record-breaking, high temperatures on the 1st averaged around 30 degrees below normal, with most of South Central Nebraska only topping out a few degrees either side of 30 F.

Between the evening hours of Friday the 13th and the early morning of Sunday the 15th, a powerful, late-season winter storm took aim on South Central Nebraska, featuring an impactful mix of intense north winds, blizzard conditions (especially in northern/western counties), fairly significant icing (especially in northern counties) and record-cold temperatures. To be sure, this was a complex storm precipitation-wise, as snow totals fell short of forecasted expectations across much of the area. Nonetheless, the combination of strong winds, slick roads and pockets of drastically-reduced visibility made travel treacherous in many counties. In addition, power outages were fairly widespread, especially north and west of the Tri Cities, where communities such as Arcadia went over 24 hours without power (closer to 48 hours in rural areas). As just a sampling of various known impacts: 1) Interstate 80 was closed from Grand Island westward to Wyoming through much of the 14th, and did not completely re-open until the morning of the 15th...2) In the Howard/Greeley Rural Public Power District, a 40-year veteran employee stated this storm damaged more power poles than any in his career...3) The Region 26 EMA communications tower north of Ord toppled during the early morning hours of the 14th due to heavy ice accrual and intense north winds.
As for official snow amounts from NWS observers, the majority of South Central Nebraska received no more than 2", especially from the Tri Cities and south/east from there, including only 1.4" at Grand Island and 1.2" at Hastings. However, most locations generally west of a line from Greeley-Minden saw more of a snow/blizzard impact, with higher totals mainly in the 3-5" range. Of all local counties, Valley, Sherman and Buffalo seemed to receive the most snow, including totals of 5.5" in Ord, 4.7" in Kearney and 4.0" at Arcadia. Mainly preceding the snow, much of the area also had at least a few tenths of an inch of accretion (likely in excess of one-half inch in northwestern counties), due to a combination of "flash freeze" from rapidly falling temperatures and also at least a few hours of steady freezing drizzle/freezing rain. Above all else though, the key element that really defined this storm was intense north winds, with most places enduring at least 12-18 hours of sustained speeds generally 30-40 MPH and frequent gusts at least 50-60 MPH. Most of the peak gusts occurred during the pre-dawn hours of the 14th, including the following at primary airport sites: 64 MPH at Ord, 63 MPH at Hastings, 59 MPH at Grand Island and 58 MPH at Kearney. Also of note were the record-cold temperatures that accompanied this system. High temperatures on both the 14th and 15th only topped out between the upper 20s and mid 30s in most of South Central Nebraska, or roughly 30 degrees below normal for mid-April. Grand Island and Hastings established new record-cold maximum temperatures on both days (30-31 degrees), which also marked the latest-on-record spring occurrence of sub-freezing max temperatures!
Finishing up with a closer look at storm timing and meteorological background: Things starting getting underway on the afternoon and evening of the 13th, as pockets of mainly non-freezing rain/drizzle developed in advance of a powerful, closed mid-level low migrating along western sections of the Nebraska-Kansas border. By later evening and into the morning of the 14th, temperatures gradually fell below freezing from northwest-to-southeast, transitioning rain/drizzle over to freezing rain/freezing drizzle in many areas, while the primary snow band set up in north-south fashion through the Ord-Kearney-Holdrege areas. Also during the night, north winds began roaring in response to an intense surface pressure gradient on the backside of a roughly 1000 millibar low centered in far southeast Nebraska (the pressure difference across the entire state at this time was at least 25 millibars!) During the daylight hours on the 14th, several loosely organized snow bands continued rotating north-to-south across the area on the backside of the parent upper low pressure system, which reached the KS/NE/IA/MO border area by sunset. Finally, that evening into the early morning of the 15th, the last few bands of light snow/flurries pushed out of the region and winds continued to diminish, with gusts largely under 30 MPH by this time.

Sunday the 29th and Monday the 30th were two of the windiest consecutive days of spring 2018 within South Central Nebraska, especially in terms of SOUTH winds. On both days, primarily the afternoon featured several hours of sustained speeds commonly 25-35 MPH (isolated 40 MPH) and frequent gusts to around 50 MPH, along with isolated severe-criteria gusts of 58+ MPH. Also on both days, the combination of recent dry conditions and recently-tilled fields promoted a number of localized "dust storms", causing drastic visibility

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg reductions over short distances. Specifically on the late afternoon of the 29th, dust blowing across Interstate 80 near the Aurora exit led to a major pileup of 29 vehicles, closing I-80 for over two hours. Sadly, this incident resulted in one fatality and over a dozen injuries.
As for measured winds from a variety of official and unofficial sources, a few peak gusts on the 29th featured: 62 MPH near Kearney (mesonet), 59 MPH near Oxford (mesonet), and 58 MPH at Grand Island and Ord airports. At Kearney Regional Airport, sustained winds averaged 40 MPH for an hour, mainly between 12-1 PM CDT. Although it remained quite breezy even after dark, gusts by late evening largely eased below 40 MPH. Turning to the meteorological background, this was a classic recipe for prolonged, strong south winds across the Central Plains. In the mid-upper levels, an expansive, large-scale trough gradually deepened over the western CONUS, only edging slowly eastward. This in turn promoted strengthening surface low pressure across the Central High Plains, averaging around 998 millibars in eastern Colorado. This low pressure, in concert with sprawling high pressure centered over the eastern CONUS, set up a healthy pressure gradient. During the height of the strongest winds on the 29th, the state of Nebraska featured roughly a 16-millibar gradient, ranging from around 1000 millibars in the western Panhandle, to around 1016 millibars in far southeast counties.

Sunday the 29th and Monday the 30th were two of the windiest consecutive days of spring 2018 within South Central Nebraska, especially in terms of SOUTH winds. On both days, primarily the afternoon featured several hours of sustained speeds commonly 25-35 MPH (isolated 40 MPH) and frequent gusts to around 50 MPH, along with isolated severe-criteria gusts of 58+ MPH. Also on both days, the combination of recent dry conditions and recently-tilled fields promoted a number of localized "dust storms", causing drastic visibility reductions over short distances. Specifically on the afternoon of the 30th, dust blowing across Interstate 80 led to another multi-vehicle pileup, but this one occurred just east of the local South Central Nebraska area in Seward County, and was not quite as severe as the one the previous day in Hamilton County. Although strong south winds and blowing dust were clearly the main stories on the 30th, the far northern fringe of the local area (northwestern Valley County) was brushed by a line of strong to severe thunderstorms mainly between 9-11 PM CDT, yielding a report of quarter size hail west-southwest of Elyria, along with nearly 3 inches of rain.
As for measured winds from a variety of official and unofficial sources, some peak gusts on the 30th featured: 60 MPH near Bradshaw (mesonet), 58 MPH near Nelson and Davenport (mesonets), and 57 MPH at Grand Island airport. Like the preceding day, gusts largely eased below 40 MPH after dark. Turning to the meteorological background, this was a classic recipe for prolonged, strong south winds across the Central Plains. In the mid-upper levels, an expansive, large-scale trough gradually deepened over the western CONUS, only edging slowly eastward. This in turn promoted strengthening surface low pressure across the Central High Plains, averaging around 998 millibars in eastern Colorado. This low pressure, in concert with sprawling high pressure centered over the eastern CONUS, set up a healthy pressure gradient. Looking a bit closer at the severe storm that affected Valley County during the evening, this activity evolved eastward from convection that initially formed just west of the local area along a slow-moving cold front. Mesoscale parameters in the area featured mixed-layer CAPE at least 1000 J/kg and deep-layer wind shear around 40 knots.

Despite high temperatures in the 50's and 60's across the region on April 1st, a cold front moving though the area during the morning gradually brought in colder air, which moved into the region by April 2nd. Meanwhile, a weak wave of low pressure developed along this front, and tracked south of the area. To the north of this low and where temperatures were cold enough, snow accumulated, especially near the Interstate 195 corridor and points north. The snow began after midnight on April 2nd and continued into the mid-morning hours. Snowfall amounts ranged from 4 to around 8 inches north of the Interstate 78 corridor.

Low pressure developed over the Central Plains on April 3rd, deepening as it moved into the Saint Lawrence Valley on April 3rd and to Prince Edward Island on April 4th, due to a significant contrast in air masses with Continental Polar air to the north and Maritime Tropical air to the south. This lead to a strong cold frontal passage across the region on April 4th. In the wake of this front, colder air moving into the area and a tight pressure gradient lead to widespread damaging west-northwest wind gusts in excess of 50 mph on April 4th.

A strong backdoor cold front moved from northeast to southwest across the area late Saturday afternoon April 15th into Sunday morning April 16th. Not only was there a significant drop in temperature coinciding with the passage of the front, but also a stark difference between high temperatures on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, high temperatures ranged from the mid-70s to mid-80s, but only made it to the mid-30s to mid-40s on Sunday. In general, there was a 40 degree temperature drop from Saturday to Sunday!
The backdoor front became stationary south of the region then moved northward as a warm front Sunday night into Monday morning. Meanwhile, a strong cold front approached from the west and swept across the area Monday afternoon and evening, along with an attendant area of low pressure. This robust storm system tapped large amounts of moisture, which was lifted along the warm front as overrunning precipitation, and along the cold front as a line of showers and thunderstorms.
As a result, heavy rainfall occurred across the region. A widespread 1 to 3 inches of rainfall occurred, with localized amounts over 4 inches, especially across the northern half of New Jersey. As a result, flooding occurred across portions of the area. Meanwhile, it was cold enough in the higher elevations of Sussex County New Jersey for freezing rain on Sunday.
Along the coast, an extended period of onshore flow occurred, beginning with east-northeast winds Saturday Night, which then shifted to the southeast on Sunday Night into Monday Morning April 16th. Widespread winds gusts of 40 to 50 mph occurred in the east-northeast flow Saturday Night and Sunday, with a lull Sunday Night, then occasionally again in the south-southeast flow along and just in advance of a heavy line of showers and thunderstorms on Monday Morning. The onshore flow, and to a lesser extent the heavy rainfall, lead to multiple rounds of coastal flooding along the oceanfront and back bays with the high tide cycles on Sunday evening and again on Monday Morning.

Widespread severe drought conditions at the end of March 2018 continued to deteriorate and expand in coverage through April 2018. Severe drought held constant at nearly 80 percent of the state, of which 46 percent was deemed extreme drought or worse. Exceptional drought expanded to nine percent of New Mexico for the first time since July 2014. Precipitation across the state was well below normal and temperatures were above normal as only a couple weak storm systems moved through the southwest United States. Strong winds occurred on many days during April 2018 with critical fire weather conditions on several consecutive days over large portions of the state. Blowing dust was also observed with several of these strong wind events. A couple very high elevation snow events dusted the northern high terrain however snowpack was essentially gone by the end of the month. Very little hydrologic response had been noted at several key runoff points within the Rio Grande Basin. Burn bans continued to expand in coverage over several areas of the state and the occurrence of small wildfires increased throughout the month.

A weak low pressure system moving through Colorado allowed scattered showers to move across far northern New Mexico during the late evening and overnight hours from April 7th into the 8th. A few of these showers raced eastward across San Juan County and allowed stronger winds aloft to mix to the surface. A peak wind gust up to 60 mph impacted the Farmington Regional Airport shortly before 11 pm on the 7th. These showers moved into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains during the overnight hours and produced an inch or two of snow at a couple SNOTELs. Kachina Peak at Taos Ski Valley reported a peak wind gust to 63 mph.

A fast-moving trough of low pressure passing north of New Mexico on April 8th spread strong west to northwest winds across much of the region. Widespread wind gusts between 45 mph and 55 mph were reported over northern and central New Mexico. The strongest winds were reported along the east slopes of the central mountain chain where peak wind gusts of 55 to 65 mph occurred. Blowing dust was also reported with this event especially in dust prone locations, including near dry arroyo beds along Interstate 25.

The first day of a two-day strong wind event began on April 12th as an unseasonably deep upper level storm system moved slowly east through the southern Rockies. Widespread, strong southwest winds increased over the region during the early morning hours of the 12th then peaked during the late afternoon and early evening hours as a potent cold front surged southeastward across the state. Widespread blowing dust was reported ahead of the cold front over the Four Corners region where hazardous visibilities were reported. A semi trailer was blown over along U.S. Highway 491 near Shiprock from high winds with blowing dust. The strongest winds were reported over central and western New Mexico where gusts of 60 to 70 mph were common. High temperatures in the 80s and 90s combined with very low humidity and strong winds set the stage for wildfires across the region. A prescribed burn between Bluewater Lake and Grants quickly spread out of control on the 12th while another wildfire developed from an abandoned camp fire. A grass fire that developed over extreme northern Lea County crossed into southeastern Roosevelt County near Milnesand and rapidly consumed nearly 40,000 acres. The 246 Fire near Capitan consumed nearly 4,000 acres as well as two homes and four outbuildings.

An unseasonably deep upper level storm system responsible for the widespread, strong southwest winds on April 12th exited slowly into the Great Plains through April 13th. Day two of the multi-day wind event cranked up early on the 13th as winds turned out of the northwest behind the exiting storm system. Blowing dust was confined to the far southeast plains and much of southern New Mexico. Wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph were common over nearly the entire area. High temperatures in the 80s and 90s from the 12th fell into the 40s and 50s on the 13th. These colder temperatures combined with strong winds made for a very chilly day. The wildfires that began on the 12th continued to burn through the 13th despite cooler temperatures and slightly higher humidity.

A potent upper level storm system sliding east through the southern Rockies spread widespread strong to damaging winds across New Mexico on April 17th. Southwest winds increased quickly during the mid morning hours over western New Mexico before spreading eastward into the Rio Grande Valley and eastern plains. Peak wind gusts averaged 60 to 70 mph across the area. A large tree was blown over at an apartment complex near the Cottonwood Mall in Albuquerque. High winds blew down a power line near the Gallup airport. Wind gusts near 80 mph around Las Vegas caused part of the roof of a nearby church to blow off. Widespread blowing dust was also reported across the area.

An unseasonably strong upper level low pressure system west of New Mexico spread strong south to southeast flow across the state on April 19th and 20th. Widespread southerly winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph were reported across central and western New Mexico on the 19th. The strongest winds developed around the Santa Fe and Albuquerque metro areas after sunset when southeasterly winds increased to between 35 and 45 mph with gusts between 55 and 65 mph. Power lines were blown down in the Santa Fe resulting in numerous power outages. The east side of the Albuquerque area also saw power outages and traffic lights out through the night of the 19th. The storm system shifted east through the 20th and spread the stronger winds into eastern New Mexico where many areas saw southwest winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts near 55 mph. The first significant line of showers and thunderstorms of the spring season developed over the far eastern plains and spread heavy rainfall, small hail, and gusty winds over the area. Many folks in Union, Harding, Quay, Curry, and Roosevelt counties saw their heaviest rainfall in over six months.

A shallow surge of low level moisture pushed west through the Albuquerque Metro Area and interacted with meager mid and upper level moisture that moved north from Mexico on April 28th. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed over the western high terrain of New Mexico that drifted east toward the late afternoon hours. A thunderstorm that dissipated several miles west of the Albuquerque metro forced an intense outflow boundary eastward into the the city. A sudden burst of winds near 60 mph on the west side of Albuquerque partially tore the roof off of a motel and snapped tree limbs. Blowing dust accompanied the outflow boundary across the metro area. Another dry thunderstorm near Las Vegas resulted in a peak wind gust up to 58 mph at the airport.

Sufficient low level moisture and instability over eastern New Mexico on April 29th interacted with dry, southwest flow arriving from the west to produce the first significant dry line thunderstorms of the 2018 spring season. A cumulus field first developed along the area from near Ruidoso north to Santa Rosa and Harding County. Showers and thunderstorms began developing as the dry line moved eastward toward Roswell, Fort Sumner, and Tucumcari. A secondary area of showers and thunderstorms develop ahead of this line from Roosevelt County northward into Curry County. The most severe storms slammed the Clovis area with one to two inch hail, torrential rainfall, and gusty winds. Tucumcari also saw outflow wind gusts reach over 60 mph with significant blowing dust.

With a northerly flow funneling cold air into the region from Canada, light precipitation occurred along a stationary boundary. This resulted in a wintry mix, especially for northern and high terrain areas, with a light accretion of ice. Some slippery travel occurred as a result of this precipitation. Behind this frontal boundary, the combination of a strong upper level low and surface low tracking south of the region allowed for an additional period of light wintry precipitation and rainfall to the region. In addition, strong easterly winds associated with the storm led to strong winds across downslope favored areas of the Taconics. These high winds resulted in numerous trees downed and power outages, with wind gusts up to 74 mph being recorded.

Two rounds of mixed winter precipitation moved over the area with warm air aloft overriding a deep layer of cold air at the surface. This resulted in sleet initially that transitioned to freezing rain before temperatures eventually increased above freezing. Several areas saw nearly an inch of sleet combined with around one half of an inch of freezing rain. This resulted in thousands of power outages and substantial tree damage.

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg The tornado initially touched down on the north side of I-40 near where Willow Road crosses I-40. Damage at this point consisted of snapped trees and was consistent with 90 mph wind speeds, or EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The tornado remained on the ground as it traveled north toward Peeler Elementary School. Numerous homes in this area were damaged along with substantial tree damage. The tornado wind speeds at this location were estimated to be approximately 100 mph.
The tornado continued traveling north and reached a peak intensity and maximum path width in the Hampton Community and near Hampton Elementary School. At this school a large portion of the roof was blown off and three adjacent portable classroom buildings (manufactured buildings) were completely destroyed and leveled. The damage to the main school building was consistent with wind speeds around 110 mph (DI 15/DOD 6), while the damage to the adjacent portable units was consistent with wind speeds of 135 mph (DI 4/DOD 12), which is a high-end EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. It s worth noting that the neighborhoods adjacent to this school experienced a wide and substantial path of devastation which included snapped and uprooted trees, snapped power poles, homes that were pushed off of their foundation, numerous homes that lost most or all of their roof cover, and several homes with exterior walls blown out. The survey found the width of the tornado, and particularly the width of the EF1 and EF2 wind speeds, contributed to a particularly wide path of destruction.
The tornado then continued north-northeast and mostly remained on the ground all the way to the Guilford/Rockingham County line. Along the way, the damage consisted mostly of snapped and uprooted trees, and roof and siding damage to several additional homes. The tornado appeared to produce minor tree damage (with wind speeds 80 mph or less) just before crossing into Rockingham County.
Finally, the aforementioned path length (16 miles) consists of just the Guilford County path. The tornado continued into Rockingham County, and remained on the ground for an additional 17.6 miles.

An EF-1 tornado briefly touched down approximately 5 miles north-northwest of Wendell, North Carolina on April 15, 2018.
The tornado touched down near Hals Farm Road, just off of Edgemont Road. The tornado tracked northward across an area consisting of a mixture of trees, a barn, and a few homes, before crossing Sadie Drive. The homes near the end of Sadie drive (near the cul-de-sac) sustained minor damage to siding and some loss/damage to shingles. Numerous trees were uprooted and several pine trees snapped off approximately 15 to 25 feet up. An apparent outbuilding was also destroyed at this location. The damage here was indicative of a weak tornado with approximate peak wind speeds of 87 MPH, or EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The tornado continued tracking northward through a wooded area causing sporadic damage to trees. The tornado affected several homes along Woodie Drive, off of Riley Hill Road, with one sustaining significant damage from a tree falling through the roof of the home. The tornado then lifted near Riley Hill Road.

One tree and one power line were blown down along a swath from Littleton to Enfield.
A strong upper low moved from Iowa across the Lower Great Lakes region, with a deep trough taking on a negative tilt while swinging into North Carolina. An associated strong cold front approached western North Carolina that afternoon and pushed east and east-northeast across central North Carolina on the night of the 15th. A strengthening and backing flow at all levels led to a surge of moisture into NC. Moderate instability, strong deep layer shear, and high low-level storm-relative helicity were also present. The result was a quasi-linear convective system with embedded mesovortices, which produced widespread severe weather, including a tornado in Greensboro, as it moved through North Carolina.

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg urbanized drainage basin in Cuyahoga County resulted in urban flooding, notably in the Cleveland Heights area as well as areas in and around Akron. The heaviest rain fell over the Cuyahoga River basin which crested less than an inch from major flood stage. The major flood stage was recently raised due to extensive mitigation efforts, which kept impacts exclusive to road closures and no inundations of properties other than a few basements and garages in Valley View.
The Mahoning River basin received less rainfall than the Cuyahoga River, however stream levels had been elevated due to reservoir releases in the area. The higher river stages at the onset of the event allowed for a rapid rise at the gauge in Leavittsburg from below action to major flood stage within 24 hours. The immediately downstream station at Warren Ohio saw moderate flooding. The Killbuck Creek also rose to moderate flood stage. Several other rivers flooded in this event but only reached minor flood stage.

There was minor flooding of lowlands along the West Fork of Duck Creek. The gage at Macksburg showed the creek rose to about 13.4 feet, just above its 13 foot bankfull level, shortly after sunrise on the 25th. It returned to its banks just after noon.
A low pressure system brought moderate rain to southeast Ohio on the 24th and 25th. Generally only an inch or so of rain fell, but the ground was still soggy from previous rain, and this resulted in minor flooding along the West Fork of Duck Creek and the Little Muskingum River.

The tornado first touched down in the 1000 block of Ludlow Road in Beavercreek Township. One barn on the property had roof damage, while the other barn had wall damage. In addition, a silo collapsed. Numerous hardwood and softwood trees were damaged and there was roof and chimney damage to the home. This damage was consistent with low end EF1/high end EF0 damage, with wind estimated at 85 to 90 mph.
Several properties further east along Ludlow Road sustained damage. The most significant being in the 800 block, where a home sustained more than 30 percent of its roof torn off, multiple broken windows, and structural damage to both the exterior and interior walls of the home. Damage to the home was consistent with wind speeds of 90 to 95 mph, EF1 category. Additional significant barn and tree damage occurred on the property.
Further east on Ludlow Road, in the 700 to 500 block, several homes sustained roof damage, with significant damage to barns. Such damage was consistent with high end EF0 damage of 75 to 80 mph.
The tornado continued eastward in the 2400 North Block of U.S. 68. A home received minor siding and roof damage as well as a collapsed chimney, with a fence also destroyed. A large camper was rolled over and the roof was lifted off a brick outbuilding. Damage to this property was consistent with EF1 strength of near 90 mph.
Further east along Clifton Road, structural damage occurred to barns along with roof and porch damage to homes in the 700 and 800 block of Clifton Road. Damage in this area was consistent with EF0 damage of about 75 mph.
Damage became more significant further northeast along Clifton Road, where substantial damage occurred to several barns, along with snapped softwood and hardwood trees. In addition, significant roof and siding damage was present on the residences of two homes in the 2400 block of Clifton Road. Damage here was consistent with low end EF1 between 86 and 90 mph. A sheep farm in this area did experience the loss of five sheep.
The northern most extent of confirmed tornado damage was along State Route 72 and Clifton Road. While there was widespread tree and roof damage along Wilberforce-Clifton Road and State Route 72 south of Clifton, this damage was all in the same direction to the north-northeast, without substantial evidence of back-splatter as associated with rotation. While the wind damage was significant in this area, estimated to be as high as 80 mph, this damage was more consistent with straight line wind damage.

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg The tornado touched down on Cortsville Road where a barn was destroyed and a large hardwood tree was knocked down.
Damage continued to the east-northeast, particularly at the McDorman Farm on Selma Pike. At this property, multiple buildings were damaged. A significant portion of the roof of one building was completely lifted off and blown into an adjacent field. On another building, multiple sides had siding removed and sustained some roof damage. Exterior walls on multiple sides of a large barn were also damaged.
It is possible that the tornado briefly lifted beyond this property, although additional tornadic damage was observed as far east as Clifton Road. Shutters were removed and lifted from multiple sides of a two-story home. One tree was also downed nearby. An eyewitness report confirmed the presence of a tornado in this vicinity. The tornado is believed to have ended shortly after as no additional damage was observed further east along Clifton Road and within South Charleston.

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg The tornado initially touched down just south of Orders Road and moved northeast, crossing Hoover Road and I-71, and eventually White Road before lifting just north of White Road and just south of Stringtown Road.
The most significant damage along this path occurred on the west side of I-71, first near Orders Road where 4 large utility poles were snapped at the base and lying across Orders Road. Structural damage was found to multiple townhouses and other structures on the west side of Hoover Road, where a newly built detached garage was completely destroyed, and several townhouses had partial uplift and removal of roofing and damage to exterior walls. Many townhouses had garage doors pushed in, with portions of roofs removed. Debris spatter was indicated on all 4 sides of several structures. Four more large electrical transmission poles were snapped on the west side of Hoover Road. Eyewitness photos and videos confirm a tornado on the ground in this area. The most significant damage in this area was consistent with wind speeds around 105 mph and represents the strongest of the winds associated with this tornado.
As the tornado crossed I-71, it began to weaken and lift as damage became lighter and more intermittent, consisting of tree and minor structural damage to roofing materials. Still, many homes immediately east of I-71 suffered at least minor damage and/or tree damage before the tornado lifted.

A late season widespread hard freeze occurred across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle. A surface cold front moved south across the region during the late evening hours of the 14th. This was in association along the backside of a large 500 hPa system moving east across the central Plains. Going into the early morning hours on the 15th, winds were reduced to light and variable under a surface high pressure that set up across the northeastern Panhandles in the wake of the cold front. Albeit a shallow cold air mass, the weak winds under high pressure behind the front allowed temperatures across the Panhandle to experience a hard freeze with low temperatures ranging from 21-28 degrees.

Despite high temperatures in the 50's and 60's across the region on April 1st, a cold front moving though the area during the morning gradually brought in colder air, which moved into the region by April 2nd. Meanwhile, a weak wave of low pressure developed along this front, and tracked south of the area. To the north of this low and where temperatures were cold enough, snow accumulated, especially near the Pennsylvania Turnpike and points north. The snow began after midnight on April 2nd and continued into the mid-morning hours. Snowfall amounts ranged from 4 to around 8 inches north of the Interstate 78 corridor. South of here, 1 to 4 inch amounts were common to the Pennsylvania Turnpike with the exception of points west of Interstate 476, where 3 to 6 inches occurred. To the south of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 195 corridor, amounts tapered down from 1 inch in a southerly direction, with Philadelphia Pennsylvania reporting a Trace of snowfall.

Low pressure developed over the Central Plains on April 3rd, deepening as it moved into the Saint Lawrence Valley on April 3rd and to Prince Edward Island on April 4th, due to a significant contrast in air masses with Continental Polar air to the north and Maritime Tropical air to the south. This lead to a strong cold frontal passage across the region on April 4th. In the wake of this front, colder air moving into the area and a tight pressure gradient lead to widespread damaging west-northwest wind gusts in excess of 50 mph on April 4th.

A strong backdoor cold front moved from northeast to southwest across the area late Saturday afternoon April 15th into Sunday morning April 16th. Not only was there a significant drop in temperature coinciding with the passage of the front, but also a stark difference between high temperatures on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, high temperatures ranged from the mid-70s to mid-80s, but only made it to the mid-30s to mid-40s on Sunday. In general, there was a 40 degree temperature drop from Saturday to Sunday!
The backdoor front became stationary south of the region then moved northward as a warm front Sunday night into Monday morning. Meanwhile, a strong cold front approached from the west and swept across the area Monday afternoon and evening, along with an attendant area of low pressure. This robust storm system tapped large amounts of moisture, which was lifted along the warm front as overrunning precipitation, and along the cold front as a line of showers and thunderstorms.
As a result, heavy rainfall occurred across the region. A widespread 1 to 3 inches of rainfall occurred, with localized amounts over 4 inches. This lead to flooding across portions of the area. Meanwhile, it was cold enough in the higher elevations of the Southern Poconos of Northeast Pennsylvania for freezing rain on Sunday. In particular, the Pocono Mountains Airport ASOS recorded 0.19 inches of ice accretion, and there was tree damage and power outages reported in Tobyhanna Pennsylvania.
Along the coast, an extended period of onshore flow occurred, beginning with east-northeast winds Saturday Night, which then shifted to the southeast on Sunday Night into Monday Morning April 16th. By Monday morning and afternoon, tidal flooding made its way up the Delaware River to Philadelphia as a result of the onshore flow.

On the night of April 2nd, desperate measures had to be taken by law enforcement and staff of the Mobridge Regional Hospital. A patient needed O-negative blood, but the hospital had very little on hand. Due to wind, low visibility and an icy runway, no planes were able to land at the Mobridge Regional Airport. Law enforcement and hospital staff risked poor travel conditions and drove to surrounding communities to obtain 10 units of blood.

A rare mid-April blizzard affected most of central and northeast South Dakota from April 13th into April 15th. Heavy snowfall along with high winds brought widespread blizzard conditions to the region. Snowfall amounts from 6 to as much as 20 inches along with wind gusts to over 60 mph brought hazardous, if not impossible travel. In fact, both Interstate-29 and Interstate-90 were closed due to the heavy snow and blizzard conditions. Parts of both Interstates were re-opened on the 14th, while the rest opened on the morning of the 15th.
Dozens of schools were closed on the 13th along with many state government offices. Many activities and events were also postponed or cancelled. Despite the cancellations and delays, the South Dakota Highway patrol still responded to hundreds of calls for service to assist stranded motorists. The wet conditions/mud, snow, and wind greatly affected cattle producers trying to protect newborn calves. As a result of the blizzard there were some calf losses across the region. The winds subsided on the 14th for many locations, leading to improved visibility, while periods of snow continued into the 15th across eastern South Dakota.
Snowfall amounts include 6 inches at Onida and Watertown, 7 inches at Murdo, Highmore, and Pierre, 8 inches at Clark and 6 miles east of Hayes, 9 inches at Milbank and Orient, 10 inches at Seneca and 12 miles north of Highmore, and 11 inches at Castlewood and near Vivian. Locations with a foot or more include 12 inches at Presho, 13 inches at Miller, 14 inches at Gann Valley, 17 inches at Kennebec, 18 inches at Clear Lake, and 20 inches near Gary. The highest measured wind gust was 66 mph at Danforth in southern Hand county.

The combination of dry conditions, freshly plowed fields and strong winds gusting up to 50 mph brought near zero visibility due to blowing dust across parts of Hand County. The dust storm conditions resulted in several car accidents in Hand county on a two mile stretch of a road near Miller. Vehicles either ran into each other or ran into the ditch. In one case, the dirt drifted around a vehicle trapping it on the side of the road. Some of the crashes sent people to the hospital with only minor injuries. Fortunately, the dust storm was short-lived.

The most intense storm of the month, in fact many months, wrapped up across the central Plains on April 13, spreading a mix of wintry precipitation across the area, accompanied by numerous thunderstorms. Not included in this episode was the spotty severe hail and wind which occurred in southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota prior to the onset of snowfall during the morning and afternoon of April 13. Eventually, influx of colder air would change all precipitation over to snow, and ushered in a record-breaking snowfall of 8 to 16 inches (some locations over 20 inches) and fierce winds gusting 50 to 60 mph to southeast South Dakota, southwest Minnesota, northwest Iowa and extreme northeast Nebraska. Snow drifts over 6 feet were reported in many locations. Extremely low visibility persisted for almost a day for most locations, making travel very difficult if not impossible.
One person was killed in Rock County when the snowmobile he was riding collided with an interstate guard rail.

A storm survey by Wayne County Emergency Management, along with numerous photos of damage, indicate a severe 1/2 mile long by 300 yard wide microburst struck the area in the 2500 block of Highway 13 southeast of Collinwood. Damage began west of Stooksberry Road where a small hay barn was destroyed and the back porch was completely blown off a home. A large 50-foot tall antenna at the home was also bent in half. Further to the east, a home at the southwest corner of Volunteer Lane at Highway 13 suffered considerable roof and exterior siding damage, and the sheet metal roof of the detached carport was blown off. The worst damage occurred on the east side of Highway 13 at Volunteer Lane where the roof was almost completely ripped off a home and a nearby small garage was destroyed. A home to the north on Volunteer Lane had some minor exterior damage such as blown down porch columns, and another home to the southeast on Highway 13 just west of Bufford Moore Lane suffered shingle damage. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted along the path. Winds were estimated up to 105 mph. Although too inconclusive to determine from photos and radar data, the degree of damage suggests this may have been a brief EF1 QLCS tornado.

An EF-0 tornado with estimated maximum winds around 75 mph touched down along FM 9 and FM 451 in extreme Southeast Harrison County just north of the Panola County line, where it broke several large branches from a few trees. The tornado continued east northeast just north of County Road 1220 where it continued to break large branches from trees. It also blew the roof off of a small barn before crossing over into Western Caddo Parish.
A strong upper level trough of low pressure progressed east across the Southern Plains during the afternoon of April 13th, with a large warm sector of warm/humid air having expanded north across much of the Ark-La-Tex. A capping inversion delayed the onset of thunderstorm development until the late afternoon, where it eroded and large scale forcing increased with shortwave perturbations ahead of the trough and along/just ahead of a dry line as it mixed east to the Interstate 35 corridor or North and Central Texas. Given the moderate instability and strong wind shear that developed with the lead shortwave, scattered supercell thunderstorms developed across East Texas during the late afternoon through the evening hours, producing numerous reports of damaging winds and large hail. While a lull in the storms was observed, a line of severe thunderstorms developed along the dryline south of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, and progressed east into East Texas by late evening. Damaging winds and reports of hail were prevalent at first with this line of severe thunderstorms, but a number of notches developed along the squall line as these storms moved into extreme Eastern Texas, resulting in two tornadoes touching down across Northern Gregg and Northwest Harrison Counties, as well as extreme Southeastern Harrison County near the Caddo Parish Louisiana line. These severe thunderstorms exited East Texas by midnight on the 14th.

Drought conditions continued to worsen again through the month of April for the entire South Plains, Rolling Plains, and extreme southern Texas Panhandle. This mainly included the introduction of Exceptional Drought (D4) into portions of Cottle and King Counties. Rainfall has been minimal across the region with deficits around two inches for the month. Areas across the eastern Rolling Plains have seen deficits around ten inches dating back to October 2017. A driver of the long term drought, La Niña, was weakening and is expected to return to neutral conditions in May. Dry and windy conditions during April brought on several bouts of elevated to critical fire weather along with several large grass fires. Impact to agriculture has not been significant yet with farmers preparing fields for the upcoming crop year.

Periods of high westerly winds developed this morning and afternoon well south of a vigorous low pressure system in eastern Colorado. Fortunately, blowing dust was not a significant problem over the region as the strongest winds avoided the major dust source regions. By late afternoon, a narrow band of thunderstorms drifted south from the southwest TX Panhandle and resulted in a convective wind gust to 61 mph near Floydada. These storms also produced welcome soaking rains from Friona and Dimmitt southeast to Plainview.
Late this afternoon, strong westerly winds promoted the spread of a wildfire in northern Dickens County. Preliminary evidence from the Texas Forest Service indicates two wildfires developed west of Afton before combining into a single fire that consumed at least 3100 acres. In addition to closing some rural roads, this fire prompted a voluntary evacuation of residents from Afton. Fortunately, no structures were damaged from this wildfire.

The Cowpasture River near Clifton Forge (COWV2) flooded, reaching a stage of 13.80 feet (Minor flood stage - 10 ft.) early on the 17th. This was the highest level in over 20 years at this gauge--since a 14.39 ft. crest on January 8, 1998. USGS and FEMA data suggest a return interval of approximately 10 years (0.1 Annual Exceedance Probability or AEP) for the flooding on the Cowpasture.
A strong cold front propelled by a deep upper trough that took on a negative tilt, pushed through the region on April 15 producing severe weather and heavy rainfall. The speed of convective elements prevented any flash flooding but longer duration flooding occurred on several rivers and streams, mainly in the minor category. Rainfall ranged from 2 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts up to nearly 4.5 inches in 24-hours ending at 7 AM on the 16th. The highest amounts were roughly a 5-year recurrence interval (0.2 Annual exceedance probability).

A low pressure system that moved from the Plains, across Illinois, to the Ohio Valley brought two periods of heavy precipitation and strong northeast winds to the area. The historic late season winter storm pummeled northeast and north-central Wisconsin from the evening of April 13th through the afternoon of April 15th. The storm brought blizzard or near-blizzard conditions to much of the area and made roads impassable from time-to-time. Winds of 35 to 50 mph caused sporadic power outages and created waves of 10 to 16 feet on Lake Michigan. The persistent northeast wind caused shoreline erosion along the western shores of the lake.
New snowfall records were set at many locations as a large area of 15 to 30 inches of snow fell and winds gusted over 45 mph. Some of the highest recorded snowfall totals included, 31.6 inches near Carlsville (Door Co.), 30.6 inches in Tigerton (Shawano Co.), 30.5 inches near Stiles (Oconto Co.), 28.4 inches in Waupaca (Waupaca Co.), 27.5 inches in Peshtigo (Marinette Co.), and 25.5 inches in Suamico (Brown Co.). The strongest recorded wind speeds included 52 mph near Plover (Portage Co.), 51 mph at Marshfield (Wood Co.) and Green Bay (Brown Co.), and 50 mph near Marinette (Marinette Co.) and near Rose Lawn (Shawano Co.).
The heavy weight of the snow caused several structures to collapse or partially collapse, mainly across east-central Wisconsin. Several barn roofs collapsed in Kewaunee County, killing at least 17 cows, and parts of several barn roofs collapsed in Shawano County, resulting in the death of at least 2 cows. A barn roof collapsed near Oconto Falls (Oconto Co.) and another collapsed near New London (Waupaca Co.) killing at least 4 cows. Roofs collapsed, or partially collapsed, on at least 5 buildings in Outagamie County, including a barn in the town of Freedom where 30 cows were injured or killed. The roof of the main arena at a horse therapy center near Neenah (Wnnnebago Co.) partially collapsed. In Brown County, at least 15 businesses, including a motel and a barn, had some sort of roof collapse. Four people were trapped when a barn roof collapsed in Denmark (Brown Co.).
Snowfall totals were the highest ever recorded for an April storm in Green Bay, Appleton, Wausau and Rhinelander. This was the largest snowstorm on record in Appleton (21.2 inches), the second largest snowstorm on record in Green Bay (24.2 inches) and Wausau (20.7 inches), and the third largest snowstorm on record in Rhinelander (18.2 inches).

This was an unusually strong mid-April snowstorm. The area of low pressure slowly moved from the Central Plains to south of the Great Lakes before lifting into eastern Canada. It brought heavy snow as far north and west as northeast MN and northwest WI. Snow first spread in force Saturday (April 14th) afternoon into northwest WI and east-central MN from the southwest. The snow then spread

Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg into the rest of the Northland Saturday night into Sunday. The snow continued much of Sunday, then slowly diminished Sunday night into Monday. There was lingering lake effect snow along the South Shore into early Tuesday. Snowfall amounts ranged from 6-12" across northwest Wisconsin with upwards of 18-22" in isolated sections of Douglas and Ashland Counties. This storm generated strong northeast winds over Lake Superior. Park Point in Duluth had frequent gusts to 50 mph Friday night and Saturday. The freighter Algoma Spirit sheltered behind Sand Island (the western-most Apostle Island) during the storm Saturday and measured frequent wind gusts to 60 knots (69 mph, nearly hurricane-force). The Devil's Island observation site measured wind gusts to 59 mph. The winds generated large waves of at least up to 15 feet over Lake Superior and along the South Shore to the Duluth and Superior area. Since it was cold, the waves and spray created a lot of icing along the Lake Superior shore. The strong winds across the Northland, especially close to and downwind of Lake Superior, caused blizzard conditions with the falling snow. Highway 2 in Ashland was closed for a time.

A prolonged period of strong and gusty onshore northeast winds resulted in high waves crashing into the western shore of Lake Michigan from overnight of April 13th through the 14th, into the early morning of April 15th. Northeast winds were persistent 20 to 30 mph with frequent gusts of 35 to 45 mph for about a 24 hour period. Waves were estimated to reach 15 feet as they crashed into shore. These waves and high lake levels resulted in areas of lakeshore erosion and damage from Port Washington south to Kenosha with the most erosion in the Racine and Kenosha County lake shore areas.

Portions of western Wisconsin received between 3 and 17 inches of snow as another early spring storm moved across the Upper Midwest from April 13th into the 15th. In addition to the falling snow, additional impacts occurred as the wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph produced blowing and drifting snow that significantly reduced the visibility at times. The highest reported snowfall total was 17 inches near Owen (Clark County), Hatfield (Jackson County) and Osseo (Trempealeau County). The highest recorded wind gust was 58 mph by the automated weather observing equipment at the La Crosse airport (La Crosse County).

A prolonged snow storm event with historic snowfall totals for the month of April, started Friday, April 13th, and lasted until late Sunday night April 15th.
This event was split into several different precipitation hazards, which created concerns with communicating the impacts of sleet, snow, blowing snow and blizzard conditions. As the event unfolded, this storm began apparent that it would produce record snowfall amounts, along with the highest snowfall amounts so far into the month of April. Therefore, the wording changed from significant/severe winter storm, to historic.
The first part of the storm developed early Friday morning with bands of showers, and embedded thunderstorms moving northward along the Minnesota-Iowa border. These storms moved northward into colder air aloft and produced widespread areas of sleet, small hail, but no severe storms. However, there were numerous reports across southern Minnesota, and into west central Wisconsin where the small hail, and sleet accumulated up to 2 inches in depth.
Several automated airport observing sites (ASOS/AWOS) reported sleet, snow and thunder through the morning. By the late morning, and into the afternoon, surface temperatures cooled in west central Wisconsin where the precipitation changed over to snow.
The next round of precipitation was in the form of sleet and snow in west central Wisconsin, with mainly snow to the north in the evening. Most of this area of precipitation quickly moved off to the east, with a lull period until early Saturday morning with the main bands of heavy snowfall developed in west central Wisconsin during the afternoon.
Total amounts through Saturday morning ranged from locally 2 to 4 inches from Redwood Falls through the Twin Cities, and into west central Wisconsin near Eau Claire.
By late Saturday morning, and into Saturday afternoon, the intensity of the snowfall and areal coverage widen across southern and central Minnesota, and into west central Wisconsin. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour were common by the afternoon before the heaviest snowfall began to taper off late Saturday evening.
The second round, and the third round of precipitation, occurred with the main storm system moving across Iowa and into the Great Lakes region late Saturday night, through late Sunday evening. After Saturday afternoon, snowfall intensity varied with some waves of heavy snowfall from Saturday night, and into Friday afternoon, but the majority of the snow was light.
The worst conditions occurred early Saturday afternoon and evening in terms of high end impacts. Strong northeast winds developed in the morning and held in the 15 to 25 mph range, with gusts of 30 mph through the afternoon and early evening. At times, surface visibility was around one half to one quarter of a mile, especially in open country.
As the storm ended, the following are some records from this storm.
The Eau Claire airport had three consecutive days (14, 15, & 16) of holding temperatures in the 20s or very low 30s to break records for the lowest high temperature of the day.
The following snowfall totals were the highest in the state.
15.0" inches near Spring Valley. 13.8" inches near Boyceville. 13.2" inches near Roberts. 13.0" inches near Chippewa Falls and Ladysmith.

A strong cold front moving into northern Wyoming combined with potent jet dynamics to produce heavy snow across portions of northern Wyoming. Over a foot of snow fell in portions of Yellowstone Park, the Tetons and the Absarokas. Heavy snow fell across the lower elevations as well. Up to 8 inches fell around the Cody area and combined with strong winds to produce near zero visibility and road closures. Strong winds and heavy snow also combined to close roads in northern Johnson County. Further south, high winds were the problem in portions of Fremont and Sweetwater Counties. Winds gusted to 71 mph at Fales Rock RAWS site and 63 mph at Bitter Creek along Interstate 80.
