Yes, all on the same day.
SEVERE WEATHER
Scroll down just below this to see the resume of today’s severe weather from James including a report of three fatalities in Arkansas. At 1:20 this afternoon there were few, if any showers in Alabama. The main line of thunderstorms, with numerous warnings and damage reports extended from South Illinois southwestward through the west edge of Kentucky and Tennessee, then across Eastern Arkansas into NE Texas.
BLIZZARD
A Blizzard Warning continues over Western South Dakota including the Rapid City area into Eastern Wyoming. In Rapid City where 8 inches was already on the ground, not counting huge drifts, as much as 10 inches additional is expected with north winds gusting as high as 60 mph. Interstate 90 is closed through Western South Dakota into East Wyoming. Very unusual for early May but not unheard of. Look at this:
* 7 to 10 foot snow drifts in the Black Hills of South Dakota
* 48 inches of snow on the ground at Harding, South Dakota, drifts much deeper
* 30 inch accumulation at Spearfish, South Dakota
