A couple of inches of snow accumulated across the Poconos as a fast moving low pressure system moved across the central part of the country. Precipitation began as rain around noon EST, but changed to snow during the first half of the afternoon. The snow fell briefly heavy just after that transition and ended during the early evening. Accumulations averaged near 3 inches and included 3.0 inches in Pocono Summit (Monroe County), 2.9 inches in Bossardsville (Monroe County), 2.7 inches in East Stroudsburg (Monroe County) and 2.4 inches at the F.E. Walter Dam (Carbon County). A cold front sank slowly south through Pennsylvania during the night of the 12th. Similar to last week, a low pressure system developed on the frontal boundary in the Ohio River Valley on the 13th and moved east passing off the southern Middle Atlantic Coast by that evening. At the same time, a high pressure system built into Ontario Province Canada. This provided fresh cold air and changed the rain to snow.

A strong surface low pressure moved across Kansas with an associated cold front moving across Oklahoma. The strong surface low pressure caused a tight pressure gradient across Oklahoma causing high winds across northern and portions of central Oklahoma. Many Oklahoma mesonet sites reported wind gusts ranging from 50 knots to 56 knots across northwestern and portions of west central Oklahoma. The highest measured gust of 56 knots was reported at 4 WNW of Camargo in Dewey County. Sustained winds exceeding 35 knots with gusts near 44 knots were measured across north central and portions of central Oklahoma.

Light freezing rain fell in valley sections of the Poconos from the late evening of the 19th into the afternoon of the 20th. Schools had  delayed openings on the 20th in Monroe County. Untreated roads were perilous. An intense low pressure system moved from Oklahoma the morning of the 19th, to Arkansas the morning of the 20th and into the Great Lakes on the 21st. While a high pressure system initially brought cold, dry air near the surface, it moved from New England on the 19th into the western Atlantic by the morning of the 20th. The Atlantic Ocean trajectory brought warmer air near the surface into the Poconos during the day on the 20th and rose temperatures above the freezing mark. Ice Accretions prior to the changeover were generally less than one-tenth of an inch.

A significant warmup allowed the large winter ice buildup to begin breaking up on Lake George in Warren County during mid April.  A back door cold front, followed by a large high pressure area building south out of Canada, produced strong northeasterly winds, estimated in the 31 to 39 mph range on the afternoon of April 16. These winds pushed huge chunks of ice into the boat docks on the southern tip of Lake George, namely the village of Lake George. These chunks of ice caused extensive damage to at least four boat docks in this area.

Strong warm advection was taking place over Iowa during the predawn hours of the 30th.  The atmosphere was capped over at least the west half of Iowa.  In addition, moisture was limited with surface dew point readings only in the mid 50s.  A weak wind shift line moved into the state from the northwest.  Thunderstorms fired along the boundary in Minnesota first, then developed southward along the boundary.  Severe thunderstorms developed along the southwest edge of the convection, producing hail over parts of northwest into central Iowa.  Hail ranged from penny size up to tennis ball size.  The main hail swath occurred from one cell that developed over Webster County and moved southeast into Story County.  The largest hail occurred initially in the Badger area of Webster County, then later on northwest of Ames in Story County.  Two inch diameter hail fell northwest of Ames causing $150,000 damage to ten greenhouses of the ISU campus.  The storms weakened as the advanced southeast into more stable air.

The Mississippi River rose above flood stage in response to frequent severe thunderstorm activity in early May. The flooding was minor, with low-lying agricultural land flooded. Some roads near the river were closed, including Route 162 east of Portageville. Since springtime farming operations had begun, the effect of this flooding was relatively significant compared to winter season flooding. The river crested generally one to three feet above flood stage. At Cape Girardeau, where flood stage is 32 feet, the crest of 33.26 feet occurred on May 14. At New Madrid, where flood stage is 34 feet, the crest of 37.79 feet was on May 17. The duration of the flooding was much longer at locations below the confluence of the Ohio River.
