***FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT 7 PM TONIGHT THROUGH 7 PM SUNDAY***
Strong to severe storms increase tonight through Saturday morning. Wind and large hail will be the primary threats with a low tornado risk. While we'll all see showers and storms, the higher severe threat will be near and south of I-44. Flooding is also a concern with locally heavy rain through the weekend.
Waves of showers and storms will still be around on Saturday and into early Easter Sunday morning as well. The severe threat Saturday will be dependent on where a front lines up, but most likely the highest chance for severe storms would be south/southeast of I-44.
We'll continue to monitor Easter Sunday morning as another system moves through. It is possible we see a few strong to perhaps severe storms through midday, most east of HWY 75. We will dry out into the afternoon. Lows in the 50s with then highs in the 60s Saturday and perhaps low 70s Easter Sunday.
Yards and lawns look very wet for any weekend egg hunts. Rain totals from Friday night into Sunday morning could be 2"-6" range with locally higher amounts up to 8" possible in the forecast area. A Flood Watch is in effect for all of our coverage region.
As of now, we look dry for Monday with more storm chances returning by the middle of next week as an active pattern develops over the area again. Too early to know specific details regarding severe weather, but we'll likely have at least some potential.
