A significant severe weather event is taking shape for Easter Sunday. The main threat area has moved off of the coast a little to the north but the entire deep south can expect the possibility of severe weather.
Take note of the probability map. Those values indicate the probability of severe weather within 25 miles of a point. As a reminder severe weather is either a tornado, damaging wind greater than 58 mph, or hail 1" or larger. The black hatched area indicates the possibility for significant severe weather which is EF2 or greater tornado damage, damaging wind greater than 75 mph, or 2" hail or larger. At this time the main threats look to be damaging wind and tornadoes with long-tracked tornadoes possible.
Timing doesn't seem to be nailed down yet but it sounds like we can expect the worse weather anytime from afternoon Sunday to overnight into early Monday as the system moves east.
Keep thinking about your severe weather plan and how it may impact your activities on Sunday. We'll have more details tomorrow.
