A powerful storm system is forecast to unleash heavy rain, large hail, strong winds, and thunderstorms capable of spinning up tornadoes this week across much of the south-central United States.
This area was battered just last week by deadly storms. The low-pressure system invigorated by moisture from the Gulf of Mexico began a slow, multi-day journey from Texas to the Great Lakes region on Eclipse Monday (4/8/24).

As it headed east, severe weather was expected to hit the Gulf Coast, the mid-Atlantic, and the Midwest regions, the National Weather Service said.

The threatening forecast led organizers of The Texas Eclipse Festival to end the celebration early Monday and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to activate emergency response resources.

More than 30 million Americans from eastern Texas to Mississippi were at risk of severe weather Tuesday, when heavy rain, wind, "large hail," and several tornadoes were expected to lash the region, the storm prediction center said.

The highest risk of flooding was in the Texas Panhandle Tuesday night and the mid-South on Wednesday, the weather service said. More: More
What about Southern California?.
Meanwhile, SoCal had clear skies in the L.A. metropolitan area for viewing the partial eclipse.

The super bloom is overtaking LAX, the international airport blocks from the Santa Monica Bay. Along the landing and takeoff lanes, there are more colorful flowers than anyone has ever seen.

For the rest of the region, we have had too much of a good thing, rain. The extra precipitation is holding back the explosion of desert flowers in the usual areas. Meanwhile, the streets and fields of Los Angeles are full of "volunteer" golden poppies, the state flower. They are spread by birds or the wind or guerilla gardeners, particularly in Pasadena.

Lana Del Rey is coming to SoCal
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is ramping up for two consecutive weekends of partying in the desert east of Los Angeles County. And the greatest female singer alive, Lana Del Rey, is headlining. Meanwhile, Beyonce Carter keeps topping the country charts to the chagrin of white racists looking forward to the next Stagecoach Music Festival.

Why not work at the Fair? Help wanted
And the Renaissance Pleasure Faire has arrived in the San Gabriel Valley at the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area in Irwindale, where the 134 and 605 Freeways cross.

The Renaissance Faire opened last weekend for its Southern California run. This lakeside area (Santa Fe Dam reservoir) is a wonderful place to spend a few hours, with a lot of great opportunities to people watch, says Robyn.

Blue Banisters is not her best work.
Thanks to an abundance of actors and stages, visitors really do feel like they have been transformed back to the Renaissance ["Rebirth"] time period. Small children really have fun, as there is a plethora of things for them to do amidst the adult debauchery. There are plenty of options for food and drink. But mainly it's just cosplay for busty adults in those special "cleavage platter" brassieres and the people who love them (RenFair.com).
