A big change arrives just in time for Easter Weekend. Starting early Saturday morning, rain and storm chances return to the area and stick around through Sunday. While not everyone will see storms at the same time, several rounds of rain and thunderstorms are expected from Friday night through the holiday weekend.
WHEN
Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday morning. Time frames will be adjusted as more data arrives in the coming days.
IMPACT
A strong upper-level low-pressure system sends a few rounds of storms to the region, providing the ingredients for widespread showers and storms. Some storms could become strong to severe. The main concern will be up to quarter-size hail and up to 60 mph wind gusts with the strongest storms. Heavy rainfall is also possible, as multiple rounds of rain could lead to localized flooding concerns.
NEED
If you have Easter plans, it’s a good idea to have a backup plan indoors and keep an eye on the forecast. Timing and storm details are still being fine tuned, so make sure to check back daily for updates.
