Here’s the forecast for us Colonists, and I bring much better news. The horrible tornado week has finally come to a close. The final number of actual twisters for the month of April is up for debate; but it is at least 200+. I have chased tornado warnings down every day for the past 10 days, and I’m happy to say there wont be any today. Here’s what we will see:

A breezy day for the MW and SW. There are wind advisories for the Plains also, and the snow is cranking out in MT. A new shot of energy is rolling past the West coast and into the Rockies, so expect some showers and snow in NV, CO, UT, WY, and MT. I’ll have the forecast.

Watch the wedding and get all the day's news with Robin Meade on HLN's "Morning Express with Robin Meade" Friday, April 29 from 6am till Noon.

Another day where the severe weather parameters are close to being off the charts. Today will feature two distinct rounds of severe weather: one this morning, and another one developing in the mid afternoon hours over the same region. Check out the High Risk Area from the Storm Prediction Center out of Norman:

Today’s weather has more going on than a Linsday Lohan police file. The severe weather re-fires this afternoon, and in the same spots as yesterday. More energy is rounding a trough over the SW and edging through the MW and South, and that means another round of large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Check out the map:

Hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husbands because the last week of April is going to feature more severe weather, including strong tornadoes through Wednesday.

Here’s the setup: a powerful jet stream is dipping down into TX, and that is helping to transport energy through the MW and South. A developing storm over OK will also have a frontal boundary separating warm/humid air from cool/dry air, so storms are going to remain a constant in the area, check out the outlook map!
