The Unofficial Start of Storm Season and Meteorological Spring

Welcome to the unofficial start of storm season for the lower 48 states. Oh ya by the way it’s the start of meteorological spring as well. Typically by the start of March we start to see the storm track a little further north and storm become a little stronger. As the battle of air masses starts to heat up as daylight hours really start to lengthen.

Right now the United States has seen a fairly chilly winter and looks to remain that way generally for the next 2 to 3 weeks. So expect some warmer temperatures as average highs are starting to move up the thermometer but I wouldn't expect any record highs in the near future. As you can see high temperatures continue to be fairly chilly across the US.

















Now that we're into March we'll have to closely watch each storm closer for the chances of severe weather. Right now all is quiet for the next 4 to 5 days but by early next week severe weather could develop with a strong low pressure in the Central Plains.

Stay Tuned!
