Part 2/12:
This week has been characterized by ongoing storm systems, notably severe hailstorms sweeping through Texas overnight into early morning hours. Meanwhile, a trough moving through is generating some storm activity along the Carolinas, but no major storms are expected to develop at this time. The forecast remains quiet for much of the week thanks to a prevailing zonal flow—a pattern of wind moving west to east, preventing severe weather outbreaks and maintaining relatively stable conditions.
