Hail, Snow, Tornado Reported in Midwest

NOAA-NWS6Severe weather including hail and at least one tornado have been reported in the Midwest as other areas dig out of a spring blizzard that shut down the Denver airport and closed hundreds of miles of roads.

Storms swept through northwest Arkansas late Wednesday, damaging or destroying several homes and severely injuring two people.

On Thursday, the National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down on the southeast side of Lake Charles in Louisiana, damaging a home.

Elsewhere, a hailstorm broke windows in northern Texas, and snow fell in Minnesota. Forecasters predicted another 1 to 4 inches of snow across most of Wisconsin on Thursday.

Denver International Airport reopened Wednesday evening, but by then most of the day’s flights had been canceled. Travelers trying to fly out Thursday faced long lines during the already busy spring break travel week.
