Severe April Event

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 05:45 AM

Almost three years to the date of the major severe weather outbreak of 27 April 2011, another significant event is ongoing. The featured image presents the number of active severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings by minute since midnight on the 27th. Monday evening saw a large number of tornado warnings issued with a peak of 14 tornado warnings valid at one time over the United States. Iowa missed out on the event on Monday and will miss out on today's as well. This is all thanks to a very large storm complex that will keep us in the clouds and rain for much of the rest of this week.
