Severe Weather Outbreak This Week


Despite an overall relatively quiet weather pattern, there have been some severe thunderstorms over the past ten days.


Destructive hail pelted parts of Texas, including the cities of Hitchcock, Freer, Benavides, and Alice.
There have even been a couple of tornadoes, including a particularly photogenic "stovepipe" tornado filmed on April Fool's Day near Silverton, Texas.
However, there have been no widespread severe weather outbreaks since a series of damaging hailstorms in the South on March 18.  And we've just come off the least active March for U.S. tornadoes since at least 1978.
