Several 1-2" snow reports from some of the heavier squalls in SD/MN/WI.

Soundings for today across the area are rockin'... Upwards of 400 cape, low level lapse rates up around 10C, freezing level around 900mb, deep mixing to ~600mb, -6C at 850mb... Gonna be convective precip o' plenty, with +SN/graupel...and probably some +TSSN. Add in the 35-50mph wind gusts, and likely higher in the convective precip. There's even some inverted V soundings showing up.

STL hit 90 today, which was also a record. Not the earliest 90+ on record though, as 90+ previously occurred on 4/1 in a previous year.
-
Steep low level lapse rates, up to 200 cape, low freezing levels...has all the makings of convective showers, with +SN and/or graupel.

Hit 80 at ORD and MDW today.

Make that more 77-83 area wide now. .

Looks like an elevated hailer threat this evening/tonight, and then a more interesting threat tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Looks like 75-80 area wide tomorrow.

NAM's have been overzealous with cloud cover, and in turn have underdone temps on almost every warm day thus far this season. So easy toss material there.

I actually started working on some this evening with several states. If I don't post it tonight, I'll have it tomorrow.
-
Deaths per 10k population (or something similar) would be better, but I’m too lazy to do all of that...thus the easy total count. The total count is still important too though. .
-
A graph I've been adding to, showing total fatalities in the hardest hit countries...

Bigger increase continues... 6,980 cases and 141 death in IL.
