"Severe Weather Threatens East Coast and Plains with Snow and Flood Alerts"

A multiday severe weather risk is expected to sweep across the Plains and into the Deep South, bringing the potential for hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. The threat begins in the Plains on Sunday, moving eastward to the Deep South by midweek. Communities in Oklahoma City, Wichita, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi are at heightened risk. Flash flooding is also a concern along the Gulf Coast, with the threat of heavy rainfall and potential drainage system inundation. The weather system is expected to exit the Eastern Seaboard by Friday, leading to tranquil but warm conditions for the Easter holiday.
