Tracking isolated rain on Easter, severe risk tomorrow

EASTER: A front is tracking through the area today and will settle along I-70, leading to widely scattered morning showers. North of this front this afternoon, storms may produce hail up to 1" though this is a very isolated risk and most stay dry. Highs remain above average in the 70s despite clouds and rain.

TOMORROW: Monday is an ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Alert Day for the risk of severe storms capable of all hazards in the afternoon and evening. There's still uncertainty on how dry we will start the day, impacting the afternoon risk. If we remain drier supercells will begin to fire up and track west to east in the afternoon and could produce 2"+ hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. The tornado threat is particularly highlighted across southern Missouri and the Ozarks. Storms form into a heavy line tracking southeast into the evening still carrying all threats, before the severe risk wanes overnight.

EXTENDED: Rain sticks around on Tuesday and temperatures will plummet down to the 50s. Rain totals will be between 1 to 2 inches, possibly locally higher under the heaviest storms. A drier and quieter pattern returns late week along with a gradual warmup.
