NOAA forecasters say that the "El Nino" oceanic situation will begin mid spring. This could have a direct impact on how the severe weather pattern will play into this season. The result.. the Gulf of Mexico sea surface temperatures remain warm.. and a late spring severe weather pattern could be in the works. Southern hemi storms could migrate into this pattern.

Trends of previous year show an above average activity in severe weather. Trends may point toward a strong tornado season with an up count for destructive tornadoes late spring. The midwest may continue have a strong severe season in 2012. More as this unfolds soon.
