Chicago Braces for Two Rounds of Severe Storms as Wet Spring Persists

Two rounds of potentially severe thunderstorms are forecast for Chicago on Monday—first from about 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a second, possibly more severe from 4 to 10 p.m.—with large hail and damaging winds up to 70 mph and additional rain that could worsen flooding in a record-wet spring (about 10 inches through April 17). The storm track depends on a warm front, so the northward extent of severe weather remains uncertain; residents near the Rock, Fox, and Des Plaines rivers should monitor forecasts and prepare for possible flooding, while the Chicago River is not listed as flood-prone in this alert.

Southwest heat wave pushes US March record to 110F in Arizona

A blistering late-winter heatwave pushed the US Southwest to March records, including Martinez Lake, Arizona at 110F—the hottest March temperature in US history. The previous 108F record, set in Texas in 1954, was tied, with other California towns hitting 108F as well. Phoenix reached 105F, and the heat is expected to persist with many spots hitting 100+F; scientists say global warming has made such heatwaves four times more likely in the past decade.

Charlotte Eyes Possible Light Snow, But Not a Repeat of Saturday Storm

NWS says Charlotte could see a 3 a.m. Thursday rain/snow mix with about a 30% chance and no accumulation, a far smaller event than Saturday’s record storm that dropped 6–12 inches (up to 16 in the north); weekend highs near 50° should melt much of the snow, though subfreezing nights persist.

Charlotte Braces for Possible Heavy Snow This Weekend, NWS Warns

Forecasters say accumulating snow is likely Friday night through Saturday night for the Charlotte area, with a 70% chance Friday evening rising to 90% by Saturday morning and about 70% again Saturday night; Mecklenburg and surrounding counties could see around two inches, with a real chance of more than four inches in some spots, depending on the storm track.
