People Living In Middle Tennessee Should Brace Themselves For A Spring With More Cases Of Severe Weather
Gloomy and rainy days are common in the South during March, April, and May. However, this year, the weather is expected to be more intense than usual.
According to WSMV4, Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky will experience a “La Nina” weather pattern this spring.
This occurs when sea surface temperatures in the central and tropical Pacific Ocean drop below normal levels, influencing weather patterns across the globe.
What Residents Can Expect Throughout Spring 2025
WSMV reports that the jet stream will guide more low-pressure systems to the north of the U.S., placing much of the Southeastern states in an area more likely to be impacted by severe weather.
Middle Tennessee and the surrounding areas are likely to see temperatures that are higher than the seasonal average. It will be common to have warmer-than-usual days throughout the next few months.
This will also mean that the region will have increased rainfall and a greater risk of heavy storms.
Tennessee’s tornado season typically peaks from March through May, and with the forecasted increase in severe weather, many are wondering if this will lead to a more dangerous tornado season.
Rest assured, WSMV clarifies that this isn’t a guarantee. The news station explains that a more severe weather season doesn’t necessarily correlate with a higher occurrence of tornados.
But, it is always important to stay informed with weather alerts in case anything were to change.
