It’s a busy wrap-up to April and Meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin have a lot to unpack!

This week, they dive into a relentless stretch of severe weather across the U.S., including a powerful EF4 tornado in Oklahoma, days of storm reports, and massive, windshield-shattering hail. Meanwhile, drought and wildfires continue to linger across parts of the Southeast, reminding us that not all weather stories end when the headlines fade.

They also highlight a new behind-the-scenes video series from the National Hurricane Center, offering a fascinating (and slightly nerdy) look at how hurricane forecasts are made... just in time as we head toward the start of the season.

And to wrap things up on a lighter note: all eyes turn to the Kentucky Derby, where the forecast is looking picture-perfect for race day fashion, fascinators, and sunshine at Churchill Downs.
