A forecast published in early February by AccuWeather argued that springtime will be split across America.
We’re all waiting patiently for the warm weather to begin in 2025, but apparently some of us will need to keep the snow boots out for a while longer. Meteorological spring hits on March 1, but that doesn’t always mean the climate wants to play ball. Astronomical spring isn’t until March 20, the March equinox. These first weeks of “spring” will still feel like winter for many places across the U.S. as a “turbulent transition between the seasons” starts to ramp up.
“The storm track in the West can retreat quickly and center more over the Pacific Northwest and western Canada by March,” AccuWeather Long-range Expert Paul Pastelok wrote in the forecast. “The transition to spring will be near average or faster across the central Rockies.”
Late Frosts On The Way?
The Carolinas and much of the east through New England and the Ohio Valley could see frost threats lasting through the first half of the year. Gardeners beware: though the Carolinas may see cold temperatures as late as March, parts of the country could be hit with cold spells as late as May.
Like most years, AccuWeather is warning of an aggressive year for storms. “The focus will be more over the Mississippi Valley and Tennessee Valley for tornado coverage and severe damage, rather than Tornado Alley,” Pastelok added. “Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis—those are the cities to watch.” (POPULAR: Do You Think Abraham Lincoln Was A Good President?)
On the other side, the Southwest will likely stay dry and “[d]rought will expand and intensify throughout the region from Southern California to the southwestern Plains,” he noted. Things will stay dry across the southwestern U.S., leading to risks for a potentially rough wildfire season from California to Texas. The weather impacts your life more than any other single thing in nature, so be sure to always check your local forecast when making plans.
