The National Weather Service is conducting Severe Weather Awareness Week this week. Each day this week the weather service plans to roll out streams of information to help you prepare for the worst weather.
Is January’s record-setting number of tornadoes an omen of what’s to come this spring?“We have not found the key, the magic formula, to make an accurate prediction for the upcoming spring,” said John DeBlock, the warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Birmingham.
“Maybe 50 years from now they’ll be able to look back and find some sort of correlating factor involved in all those,” DeBlock said. “In January we just had an active storm track across the Gulf Coast over the first two weeks of January,” he continued. “It’s kind of quieted down as least as far as the severe aspect has been, but we’ve got more of a Pineapple Express setup now where we are getting more tropical moisture in here and more rainy weather rather than severe weather.”
