Arbor Doctor comments:

There seems to be a good chance of an active severe weather season this spring with cold air to the northwest coming into conflict with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. This will also lead to chances for heavy thunderstorms and flash flooding at least in localized areas.

After a cold start, it looks like spring will eventually kick into gear and average fairly warm over much of the country. The cool start may decrease the chances of late freeze damage.
