Severe weather outbreak possible Wednesday

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has highlighted a significant severe weather threat for today, April 2, 2025. A major outbreak of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes is expected across portions of the Mid-South, as well as the lower Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys, extending westward into the eastern Ozarks.   

Widespread severe weather is possible Wednesday

The SPC is forecasting numerous tornadoes, and there is a concerning likelihood of multiple long-track tornadoes with EF3+ intensity. The severe weather is anticipated to unfold later today and continue through tonight. Residents in these areas should closely monitor weather updates and have safety plans in place.   

Beyond the tornado threat, large hail, potentially greater than 2 inches in diameter, and severe damaging wind gusts are also possible with the stronger storms. As the evening progresses, organized line segments of storms are expected to develop and move eastward into the Tennessee Valley, lower Ohio Valley, and southern Great Lakes, with damaging winds remaining a significant concern.   This could be a significant severe weather outbreak.

It is crucial for individuals in the highlighted risk areas to stay informed through reliable weather sources, heed any warnings issued, and be prepared to take immediate action if severe weather approaches. Contact us for ways to keep your business safe during severe weather.
