Spring has arrived but after being in the 60s through Wednesday, another cool spell is coming from Thursday through Sunday with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s.

The good news is that the severe weather threat will mostly be from Louisiana across Mississippi and Alabama, and go south of Tennessee. I do see another nice warming trend for the last few days of March and the beginning of April.

Now that severe weather season is upon us and will be through May, I will have some data on tornadoes for the next few weeks for you. April and May are the most likely months for tornadoes in our county but they can occur in any month.

Statistics show that about 70% of the tornadoes touching down in our area come between noon and 9 p.m. in the evening. You can see that daylight and the heat of the day is one of the main fuel sources for severe weather.

Tornadoes when the temperature is below 65 degrees are rather rare. You can reach me anytime at weather1@charter.net
