One big thing that is changing is how we are getting notified for severe thunderstorms. Currently the National Weather Service issues a Severe Thunderstorm Warning when conditions are favorable for 1 inch hail or greater with winds in excess of 58 Miles per hour.

Starting April 28th, you can expect to see a few more categories incuding language like Considerable Damage Threat when hail is golf ball to tennis ball size and winds up to 80 miles per hour. and with winds above 80 miles per hour and baseball size hail you re gonna see the tag Destructive Damage Threat and for good reason, anything this big can kill you out in the open and really do a number on your car or roof.
The weather will be getting worse for Tuesday and Wednesday as a cold front moves through with strong to severe storms. All forms of severe weather are possible by Wednesday
