After an extended slumber, the threat of severe thunderstorms returns starting Thursday.
Thursday's Outlook
Friday's Outlook
Saturday's Outlook
Additional surges of cold air the first half of the week kept thunderstorm potential low and pinned to the Deep South or Gulf Coast.
However, a return of warm, moist air into the South and a jet stream-level disturbance will trigger scattered severe thunderstorms Thursday through Saturday anywhere from northeast Texas to Missouri to the East Coast and northern Florida, along with areas in between.
At this time, this does not appear to be an outbreak. Damaging wind gusts and hail the primary severe threats, rather than tornadoes.
There were only four tornadoes in the U.S. in the first 25 days of March this year. Dr. Greg Forbes, severe weather expert at The Weather Channel, says only March 1951 had fewer tornadoes in the first 25 days of the month. The 10-year average (2004-2013) for the entire month of March is 96 tornadoes.

In fact, of the first 25 days of March, 16 of them had no reports of any severe thunderstorms at all, according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center.
