Georgia residents will soon enjoy consistent springlike temperatures after a February filled with storms and flooding across the Southeast.
AccuWeather meteorologists predict steady warm weather will settle across Georgia and the Southeast after March 10, following two more storms expected through next weekend.
🌡️ What We Know: The stormy pattern that brought heavy rain and flooding to parts of the Southeast in February will finally break.
“We expect two more storms through next weekend. Once those storms pass by, a pattern change will bring consistent springlike weather south of the I-70 corridor, across much of the mid-Atlantic, Southeast and South Central states,” AccuWeather Long-Range Expert Joe Lundberg said.
Flash flooding killed at least 12 people in Kentucky last month after one month’s worth of rain fell in 24 hours.
🌧️ Why This Should Catch Your Attention: While March starts with fewer severe storms, the threat increases in April and May.
AccuWeather experts say this spring’s severe weather risk will focus more on the Tennessee and Mississippi valleys than traditional storm-prone areas. The full severe weather forecast arrives March 5.
💧 What’s Next: People living near rivers should watch for possible flooding as temperatures warm and ice begins to melt.
Daylight saving time begins March 9, when clocks spring forward one hour. By month’s end, most of the United States will gain more than an hour of daylight compared to March 1.
