Daily rounds of dangerous thunderstorms are in the offing this week for the central United States, although no major outbreak of severe weather is forseen, AccuWeather meteorologists say. Weather systems will zip right along from west to east across the U.S. this week. While moisture from the Gulf will be present much of the time, the forward speed of each system may prevent a widespread outbreak from occurring on any given day.

A dangerous flooding setup is taking shape across the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, Arkansas and northeastern Oklahoma over the extended Easter weekend-just two weeks after deadly floods inundated parts of the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. This new round of storms could deliver a similar torrent of rain, raising the risk for life-threatening flash flooding in a region with steep terrain and vulnerable waterways, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.

Severe thunderstorms will be on the prowl each day through Easter Sunday and will mainly focus from Texas to the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region. Some areas may be blasted by severe weather for two or three days in a row, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. The repeating storms will be triggered by a building area of high pressure near Florida and a clash between warm air to the southeast and cold air to the northwest.

There's some good news for warm-weather fans in the Northeast, and it's coming just in time for the Easter holiday weekend, when travel and outdoor plans ramp up, AccuWeather meteorologists say. A southward dip in the jet stream, which has frequently visited the region in recent weeks, will pull back just enough to allow warmer air to stream in starting late this week and lasting into Easter Sunday.

There are no signs of big rainstorms or thunderstorms heading for Florida on a regular basis, which means that abnormally dry to drought conditions will continue and expand in some areas with the potential for wildfires, AccuWeather meteorologists caution. Much of Florida experiences dry conditions from late autumn to the first part of spring when the end of winter storms over the main part of the continental United States provides minimal rainfall.
