This includes the potential for significant tornadoes in the Upper-Midwest, meaning we could see violent tornadoes that last for a long duration. These tornadoes should be taken very seriously, as they'll have the potential to produce winds over 110 mph (EF-2 or greater).</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/04/Screenshot 2025-04-28 212227-1745896953253.png"></p><p>Storms have developed and will continue into the overnight hours..

Alana Cameron was born and raised in Canada in the city of Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. Alana is the oldest of 4 siblings, all close in age, and grew up playing outside with them in all types of weather. After graduating high school, Alana moved to study at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna for a year before transferring to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Atmospheric Science. Upon completion, Alana moved back to Toronto where she completed a post-grad degree in Meteorology at York University. After her post-grad, she went on to complete another post-grad in Broadcast Journalism - TV News at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During her final year of studies she had the privilege of interning with the best in the business in Canada at The Weather Network. Once she finished her internship, she got the call from small-town Denison, Texas where she accepted a job as an on-air meteorologist at KTEN-TV, right in tornado alley, covering severe weather from Sherman/Denison (North Texas) to Ada (Southern Oklahoma). After the most active tornado season Oklahoma had seen in May 2019 (105 tornadoes!) Alana is excited to join WeatherNation to cover weather all across the nation. If you're interested in following her on social media she can be found @alanacameronwx!

<p></p><p>We saw another day of record warmth across the south on Monday. Tallahassee, FL, saw a high of 94°, breaking a record from 1927, and Tuscaloosa, AL, reached a high of 90°, which tied a previous record from 1994.

<p>The weather pattern remains favorable for heavy rain in the southern plains overnight, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The area is still recovering from the heavy rain last weekend, meaning flash flooding could become a big concern, especially into Tuesday and Wednesday. Models have begun to align on the location of where this stationary boundary stalls out mid-week. Heavy rain will likely be the result of strong/severe storms.

That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms.

Tornadoes Turn Deadly Over the Weekend, Damaging Homes from Texas to Missouri

In a matter of two hours, the Hill Fire in southern California grew to 8-10,000 acres. Powerful Santa Ana winds whipped the fire just west northwest of Los Angeles. Parts of US 101 were closed in both directions as the fire jumped the highway. An estimated 1,200 homes were evacuated to keep residents safe. The nearby Woolsey Fire also forced people to leave their homes. These two fires could merge, creating a large and dangerous complex.

Officials are desperately working to contain the Camp Fire growing wildly in Butte County, CA, near Chico. The fire got its name after starting near Camp Creek Road in rural Butte County, California. Reports first came in around 6:30 a.m. Fire fighters describe the fire as dynamic and strong. In a matter of 4-5 hours, the fire grew from 5000 to nearly 20,000 acres.

As the situation changes, different evacuation routes are being impacted. Residents can follow the <a href="https://twitter.com/ButteSheriff">Butte County Sheriff</a> for details.

Fire danger will continue on Friday. Red Flag Warnings and Wind Alerts will be in effect once again. Santa Ana winds in southern California are of particular concern.
