## Wednesday

Only isolated severe thunderstorms are expected in the High Plains from western Texas to South Dakota, as well as parts of Indiana and Ohio.

Scattered severe storms are expected in the afternoon and evening from Minnesota to Oklahoma, possibly into parts of north Texas.

Hail, possibly larger than golf balls, strong wind gusts and a few tornadoes are possible.

## Friday

Scattered severe storms are possible from northeast Texas to the Mid-South region, both in the morning, then again in the afternoon. [...] Last Friday alone, there were 94 tornado reports among the over 500 severe weather reports.

In all, there were over 1,300 reports of severe weather in the U.S. from last Monday through last Friday, including 152 reports of tornadoes, 532 reports of hail and 642 reports of thunderstorm wind damage or high wind gusts.

## Weekend Through Monday

A potentially more serious severe weather threat looms in the Plains this weekend.

Saturday and Sunday, a threat of [supercell thunderstorms](https://weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/2025-04-29-supercell-thunderstorm-explainer) is in play in the central and Southern Plains from parts of Texas to Oklahoma, Kansas, western Missouri, western Arkansas and possibly parts of Nebraska.

With enough warm, humid air and strong wind shear in place, these supercells could spawn tornadoes, in addition to very large hail and damaging wind gusts.

On Monday, this severe threat could spread to the Mid-South and possibly lower Ohio Valley.

## Last Week's Siege

This small breather early this week is welcomed after a [busy stretch last week](https://weather.com/news/weather/news/2026-04-18-midwest-tornado-outbreak-lena-rochester-marion-damage).

Last Friday alone, there were 94 tornado reports among the over 500 severe weather reports.

In all, there were over 1,300 reports of severe weather in the U.S. from last Monday through last Friday, including 152 reports of tornadoes, 532 reports of hail and 642 reports of thunderstorm wind damage or high wind gusts.

## 3. Wildfires abound in US Southeast, Georgia suffers record property losses - Reuters

### Summary

## EXTREME DROUGHT, HEAVY FUEL BED

Unusually sparse rainfall this spring following heavy vegetation growth in the ​aftermath of Hurricane Helene last fall has created a fuel bed of drought-parched timber and brush now posing the kind of wildfire hazards more ​typical for the Western United States in summer.

"We are in extreme drought conditions, and wildfire activity has already surpassed our five-year average," Georgia Forestry Commission Director Johnny Sabo said in a video message posted online. "Right now conditions are so dry that even one small spark can quickly turn into a dangerous wildfire."

No casualties were reported in Georgia, which has ​borne the brunt of the wildfires. But a volunteer firefighter died on Thursday evening after suffering an unspecified medical emergency while ​fighting a brush fire in northern Florida, according to various news media reports.

The conflagrations were primed by a ⁠confluence of climate extremes gripping the Southeast, authorities said.

## EXTREME DROUGHT, HEAVY FUEL BED [...] Investigators determined that the Highway 82 blaze began on Monday, when an aluminum-coated balloon landed ⁠on a ​transmission line, triggering an electrical spark that ignited surrounding vegetation.

The Pineland Road fire, burning ​since April 18, was touched off by a stray spark from a welding operation that fell to the forest floor, authorities said.

Authorities said they expected extreme fire conditions to persist ​through the weekend, with gusty winds and little chance of rain in the forecast.

## 5. New study finds 'alarming' high flood risk for 17 million Americans on Atlantic and Gulf coasts - AP News

**URL:** [https://apnews.com/article/flood-climate-change-risk-883b15d4d6ff11ee66ae9dd46ef43bce](https://apnews.com/article/flood-climate-change-risk-883b15d4d6ff11ee66ae9dd46ef43bce)  
**Score:** 0.2256

### Summary

The authors looked at all sizes of flooding and examined separately what FEMA considers the most extreme, which are the top 1% of events. The study found 4.3 million people along the coasts to be at the highest level of risk of extreme flooding, but 20.5 million to be at high risk, the second highest level.

They found a lot of vulnerability, highlighting eight different cities from Houston, which flooded in 2017’s Hurricane Harvey, to New York, which was inundated in 2012’s Superstorm Sandy.
