An Easter weekend storm that dumped heavy rain across Los Angeles and snow in the mountains is set to cause adverse weather conditions across the nation's heartland as April begins. 

"What starts in the West must eventually come East," FOX Weather Meteorologist Jane Minar said, adding, "All of that energy, as it shifts through the weekend over the Four Corners, gets a second life as it develops over the central US." 

On Monday and Tuesday, the storm will traverse the Central and Eastern regions of the US, unleashing severe thunderstorms that could spawn tornadoes. Areas across the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic could see flooding rain.
