Central US bracing for major storm system that may cause tornadoes, significant flooding

2. yes - late February late March in this area is the time of change

and with that change usually comes some significant damaging weather.
The south to about Missouri's Northern border can expect some pretty violent weather during this period.
The northern midwest states gat some heavy snows and a lot of icing this time of year. With warmer temps of the coming spring the clouds hold more water, thus more rain or snow.

I am in Iowa and we have been known to have a few wild blizzards this time of year. The difference now is that what used to fall as snow here is now often rain or ice.

So this is actually pretty normal
