"California Braces for Easter Weekend Storm with Flooding, Strong Winds, and Heavy Snow"

A significant storm is set to hit California, bringing heavy rain, flash flooding, strong winds, and heavy snow to the region. The storm is expected to move down the coast, with on-and-off showers and thunderstorms continuing into the weekend. The heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding, mudslides, and debris flow, while the mountains are expected to receive 1 to 3 feet of snow. The storm system will then move into the Rockies and the Heartland, with severe weather possible in Texas, Illinois, and the Ohio River Valley.
