Severe weather in the plains during this time of year is pretty common. Our weather pattern is pretty active due to the meridional flow in the jet stream at this time. This pattern is conducive for severe weather in the plains as temperatures continue to warm.

Some severe weather struck north central California. Severe weather is not so common in the west coast region of the United States.
