More storms take aim at central US, where many are digging out from tornado damage
LONDON, Ky. — More severe storms were expected to roll across the central U.S. this week following the weather-related deaths of more than two dozen people and a devastating Kentucky tornado .
The National Weather Service said a 'multitude of hazardous weather' would impact the U.S. over the next several days — from thunderstorms and potentially baseball-sized hail on the Plains, to heavy mountain snow in the West and dangerous heat in the South.

Recap: LSU baseball starts regional with a win over Little Rock
LSU welcomed three teams into Baton Rouge this weekend for a regional at Alex Box Stadium. Dallas Baptist, Rhode Island, and Little Rock all entered the weekend with a shot to advance to a Super Regional. We had to wait after a lengthy weather delay, but LSU started its postseason off with a win over Little Rock. Anthony Eyanson was chosen to make the first start of the tournament instead of Kade Anderson. Eyanson and Anderson have been 1A and 1B all year for the Tigers, so either pitcher would be able to get the job done. The Tigers got on the board first in the bottom of the first inning as Jake Brown hit an RBI single to give LSU a 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the second inning, Jared Jones hit an RBI single to extend the lead to 2-0. Eyason kept the Trojans off the board, and the lead remained 2-0 until the bottom of the fifth inning when Danny Dickinson hit a solo shot to left field to increase the lead to 3-0. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Tigers doubled their lead as Derek Curiel hit an RBI double and Dickinson hit a two-run homer to extend the lead to 6-0 for the Tigers. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Michael Braswell III hit an RBI double to increase the lead to 7-0. In the top of the eighth inning, Eyanson remained in the game. However, after retiring the first two hitters of the inning, he was pulled from the game as DJ Primeaux entered to pitch. Eyanson's day finished after 7.2 innings. He gave up zero runs on five hits, seven strikeouts, and one walk. Mavrick Rizy entered to pitch in the top of the ninth inning as he looked to close out the victory. Rizy got two strikeouts and a groundout to end the game. With the Tigers finishing the game before 10:34 PM, Dallas Baptist and Rhode Island will play their game on Friday night. LSU will face the winner of that game tomorrow at a time to be determined. This article originally appeared on LSU Wire: Recap: LSU baseball gets game one win vs. Little Rock in regional

Few showers & storms Saturday, beautiful Sunday!
Saturday sees a secondary cold front arrive from the north, providing more scattered showers for the region, especially early. Though we will have a few showers and storms on Saturday, this front will bring in nicer weather for the second half of the weekend and we will begin to see signs of this late Saturday as a drying pattern begins. High temperatures will be in the mid 60s. One or two of those storms could provide the risk for a strong wind gust or two, especially in our southern counties near Virginia. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a level one marginal risk for severe weather for this threat. Sunday looks fantastic for any outdoor activities! We'll see plenty of sunshine with high pressure in control, along with drier air. It will be the perfect wrap to the weekend with highs in the upper 60s. Monday continues the drier and gradual warmer trend with plenty of sunshine expected and high temperatures climbing up into the mid 70s. Tuesday is also dry with a lot of sunshine expected and highs near 80 – an eastern U.S. high pressure system will allow the dry weather to continue and the heat to build. Wednesday provides yet another warm and dry day on the way. We'll see high temperatures approach the mid 80s! Our warmest day so far in 2025 is 84 degrees back on April 19th – we will have a couple of opportunities to reach that on Wednesday and Thursday! Thursday gives our region one more day where we should remain dry with a good bit of sunshine and temperatures climbing up into the mid 80s. We will see clouds on the increase as our next system approaches for Friday. High temperatures once again will be in the mid 80s – the summer-like feel will be here for sure! Cicadas returning to West Virginia in 2025: What counties will see them? Friday begins another round of unsettled weather with a system scooting toward the region. As a result, scattered showers and storms will be likely, especially by the afternoon with highs near 80. Looking ahead in your extended forecast, we are shaping up to be much warmer. Though the pattern becomes a bit more unsettled once again Saturday into Sunday, temperatures will remain in the 70s – and that warmth does not appear to be going away anytime soon.
