A drawn-out storm pattern will keep much of the country active through the first week of April. A slow-moving front stretching from the Great Lakes into the Plains will separate late-season snow and ice to the north from heavy rain and severe thunderstorms to the south. The setup brings the greatest impacts to parts of the Midwest, Ohio Valley, Southern Plains, Mississippi Valley, and eventually the East Coast, while the West sees mountain snow and then a warming trend heading into the weekend.

A highly active weather pattern is setting up across the southern and central United States this week. The biggest concern is a prolonged flooding threat from South Texas through Louisiana and into portions of the Lower Mississippi Valley, where repeated rounds of tropical downpours could produce significant flash flooding. Meanwhile, a powerful storm system will bring the risk of severe thunderstorms from the Midwest into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley on Wednesday, with damaging winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes possible. While heat eases somewhat across the West, temperatures will remain above average in parts of the Pacific Northwest and California before additional cooling arrives later this week.
