The Eclectic Weather of Spring in the United States | SERVPRO of Bartow County

As one of the largest nations in the world, second to Canada and Russia in total size, we see a lot of variety. “Seasonal weather” can mean a multitude of things when you have such a large territory. Different parts of the nation will experience different weather patterns, causing different weather threats.
During the spring months, warm and cold air masses collide with each other, causing crazy types of weather events all over the nation.
The Pacific Northwest is susceptible to heavy rain, which causes flooding and water damage issues. Higher elevations are still dealing with snow and melting ice or snow, which causes problems of its own.
Then Upper Midwest and Northeast regions have the longest “winter” chill and can have cold weather throughout much of the spring season. Whether you live in Maine or the Dakotas, you can expect extreme cold and may even face snow storms or blizzards during this time.
The West Coast doesn’t have to deal with snow and blizzards, but they do have to deal with excessive heat waves. The South Pacific, including Hawaii, also has to keep an eye out for tsunamis.
The middle of the country must prepare for windstorms, derechos and the risk of wildfires. Because of the atmosphere during this season, wildfires can be easily spread and cause severe damage. And as if that’s not enough, this region contains what is known as “Tornado Alley,” which is where tornadoes occur frequently.
Finally, here in the Southeast, we will experience a wide range of severe weather. Our weather can include things like tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, while those along the coast have the threat of early-season hurricanes.
No matter where you live, you must consider the threat of extreme weather in your area. Our weather here in Bartow County is going to be much different than that of someone on the West Coast. That’s why you must always stay prepared.
