Dual severe weather threats early next week

Not to spoil what is turning about to be a fabulous Easter weekend... But as you might guess, the very warm temperatures, breezy south wind, increased humidity, and a peek at the radar to our northwest foreshadow things to come.

The graphics below show the areas that are under a severe weather risk on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  Two systems will affect the region early next week.  The first will arrive Monday night, bringing a round of thunderstorms and a Slight Risk of severe weather.  Thunderstorms will be likely again Tuesday, though not as organized as the round Monday night.

Then, another organized round of storms will move in early Wednesday.  The timing on this system is still a little uncertain, though it appears it will be during the morning hours.  This second batch of storms looks like it could be more potent than Monday night's, especially if it gets delayed any and can capitalize on some daytime heat on Wednesday.  Stay with MWN for the latest, particularly this blog and the MWN Storm Center, where the graphics below were taken from.  In the meantime, enjoy your Easter Sunday!
