First off Happy Easter to everyone that observes! Please take some time today to make sure your home and surroundings are ready for an active weather day on Monday. There is a high wind watch for southern and eastern locations. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this expanded of for another type of wind advisory.

Most areas should see wind gusts on Monday in the 45-55 mph range. There could be even higher gust in exposed elevated locations!

While wind will be the primary threat, we should also receive 1-1.5″ of rain region wide with more to the north

Along with the rain and wind, there will be some thunderstorms especially Monday afternoon. The SPC has placed western locations in a slight risk for severe storms. While the primary threat will be wind and heavy rain, there could also be some hail and weak tornadoes.

I will try and keep everyone updated tomorrow. Never the less, keep an eye to the sky and make sure your weather radio has batteries and working! Keep you cell phone charged too!
