It’s going to be an ordinary spring for weather in Oklahoma. The basic outlook for March through May is above-average rainfall, but normal temperatures. May is peak tornado time in the state, but so far, meteorologists are predicting a below average season for severe storms and twisters. And we all know, that means you’d still better hang onto your hats. Even in an average year, Oklahoma still experiences 55 tornados,notes the Red Dirt Report.
The spring of 2013 was also considered a “below average” year for severe weather in Oklahoma. But that year saw both Moore and El Reno flattened by monster twisters. In fact, since record-keeping began, Oklahoma has never seen a year without tornadoes.
With today’s technology, forecasters can predict damaging storms days in advance. The National Weather Service says Oklahomans should always plan ahead for severe weather.
