Thunderstorm Forecast


Additional surges of cold air the first half of the new week will likely keep thunderstorm potential low and pinned to the Deep South or Gulf Coast. Most of this activity will also fail to turn severe.
However, a return of warm, moist air into the South and a jet stream-level disturbance may trigger severe thunderstorms Thursday and Fridayanywhere from Texas to Missouri to the Carolinas and northern Florida, along with areas in between.
There were only four tornadoes in the U.S. in the first 23 days of March this year. Dr. Greg Forbes, severe weather expert at The Weather Channel, says March 2014 appears likely to finish with a below-average number of tornadoes. The 10-year average (2004-2013) for the entire month of March is 96 tornadoes.


After a dry and mild start to the week, showers return to the Seattle area for midweek.
Temperatures will remain in the mid-50s throughout Tuesday and Wednesday with overnight lows hovering in the low 40s.
Another storm system moving from the Pacific into the Northwest will bring a return of showers Tuesday through Thursday.
Any precipitation could worsen the landslide potential in the region, where the ground is heavily saturated from rains earlier in March. Some of those rains have been blamed for a deadly landslide at Oso, Wash., about 30 miles from Everett.
In addition, snow levels along the Cascade Range will remain below pass level as the storm moves in.
