Severe weather season approaching

One of the most dramatic warming trends that you will ever see is the big news in the weather for the next couple of days. After just having widespread frost across Middle Tennessee, we will climb into the low 80s by Wednesday afternoon.

If we are going to have a threat of severe weather this week, it would be late Wednesday and into Wednesday night as another front moves in colliding with those warm temperatures.

Area Gardners, be advised that we could see temperatures in the 30s for the lows again by next weekend and freezing temperatures are usually possible until the 15th to the 20th of April and then frost cannot be ruled out until we get to early May.

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 percent 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.
