The storms will be moving at 50+ MPH, so you will have little time to seek shelter! /cv50egSMYt- NWS Quad Cities March 30, 2023Ī wider area that stretches from northern Iowa and southwestern Wisconsin down to central Mississippi and southern Arkansas is under a Level 3 out of 5 “enhanced risk” of severe weather. Damaging winds to 70 MPH, tornadoes, and large hail will all be possible. SPC has upgraded much of the area to a Moderate (level 4 out of 5) risk for severe storms for Friday from 2 to 8 PM. “The storm motions are progged to be over 50 mph, given the strong wind fields, so people should plan ahead for sheltering in case severe weather strikes, as these storms will be moving quickly!” “Things are still looking quite volatile in our region for Friday,” the National Weather Service office in Quad Cities, Iowa, said. Places such as Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Iowa City are included in the severe weather threat. The storm center has placed a Level 4 out of 5 “moderate risk” of severe weather for nearly 4 million people in two separate areas along the Mississippi River: For portions of northeastern Arkansas, the Missouri Bootheel and western Tennessee, including Memphis, and for portions of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois. m3SGTxSF8S- NWS Storm Prediction Center March 30, 2023 The most intense storms, capable of damaging gusts, a few tornadoes (some strong & long-tracked), & large hail are expected from the Mid-MS Valley to the Mid-South. However, the severe threat ramps up on Friday.Ī regional outbreak of severe thunderstorms is forecast Friday, March 31. We could also see gusty winds, hail and the possibility of an isolated tornado. There is a small chance of storms Thursday across the Plains, including in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Sioux Falls and Topeka. This weather pattern will be similar to the ones we have seen repeatedly over the last few months, when an atmospheric river event or storm system impacting the West intensifies as it moves eastward, resulting in a severe weather outbreak across the midsection of the country. “Intense, damaging gusts and several tornadoes (some strong and long-track) are expected.” “A concerning scenario appears to be developing,” warned the Storm Prediction Center. The same storm system that brought so much rain and snow to the western US is moving east and intensifying, making for a potential severe weather outbreak that could impact nearly 70 million people from the Mississippi Valley to the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on Friday.
