According to NOAA, 63 Percent of USA Experienced Below Normal Temps
In a new report from NOAA, 63 percent of the United States experience below normal temperatures from December through February. And above normal rainfall was recorded throughout most of the southwest and southern parts of the country.
As we begin transitioning to Spring, I believe we will see very turbulent conditions, due to the cold winter and the continued southerly track of low pressure systems. Just the past few days have seen some fatal tornadoes already. If past history is any indicator, the best chance for tornadoes in this area is usually late March and early April, when the jet stream is still far enough south to produce the proper ingredients to form tornadoes. I may not have to go very far this year to find tornadoes if this pattern continues!
I continue to see a potentially major cold outbreak for the western states and eventually South Texas, on or around the 23rd of this month. If you are going to plant anything tropical before April 1st, I would make sure you can either bring it inside or be able to cover it. We could have two strong fronts during the last week of March and I think a very good chance of seeing a light freeze and snowfall as far south as north central Texas.
Speaking of cold, Florida had just had one of its coldest winters in over 3 decades. Read about it and the winter report from NOAA:
