"April's Wild Weather: Tornadoes, Snow, and Floods"

In April, temperatures rise across the US, but snow is still possible in the West, and severe thunderstorms and tornadoes become more common. The collision of seasons can lead to severe storms, flooding, and snow. The threat of tornadoes is highest from southeastern Kansas, Oklahoma, and northern Texas eastward into parts of Alabama. Additionally, tropical storms have developed in the Atlantic in April, although conditions are often not favorable for tropical development this early in the season.
