True to form for early April, a severe weather outbreak is in progress in parts of the Midwest and South.
Severe thunderstorms dumped golf-ball size hail in the city of St. Louis around midday Wednesday; there were many reports of hail at least one inch in diameter in the metropolitan area, in some cases enough to completely cover yards in hail. Flash flooding caused motorists to become stranded in parts of the city.
Hail up to baseball size was reported in parts of eastern Kansas Wednesday evening. Windshields were busted out at the Kansas Star Casino near Mulvane, Kan.
Early Thursday morning, a brief tornado touched down in the St. Louis metro area, damaging approximately 100 homes

The latest such example is from the Middle East, where flooding rains this week were followed by rare snow on Thursday.
- Several inches of snow accumulated in Jerusalem and the West Bank on Thursday, according to reports from The Associated Press. The snow, reportedly the most in a decade, had significant impacts on transportation.
- Prior to the snow, heavy rainfall led to flooding in parts of the Middle East.
