Discussion
The threat of heavy rain and severe weather will shift to the eastern seaboard late Friday and Friday night with severe thunderstorm activity possible from the Mid-Atlantic region to Florida. While the steadiest and heaviest rain will end by early Saturday, there will likely be some instability shower activity as the upper-level low will still be positioned to the west of the region. By Easter Sunday, the powerful upper-level system and main culprit of this upcoming active weather will begin to weaken, but the atmosphere will remain unstable enough for the chance of additional showers. High pressure ridging takes control on Monday and temperatures will climb well into the 70’s and there should be plenty of sunshine to start the new work week.
