SNOW, RAIN, SEVERE WEATHER, OH MY...

A powerful cyclone will move through the country and bring heavy snow the the north, rain in the center, and severe weather to the south for Easter Sunday. Here's a look at the current warnings posted -- Winter Storm Warnings in pink and Winter Weather Advisories in purple.

GFS:

NAM:
