Weather will have its own version of March Madness this weekend as yet another outbreak of wild weather is forecast to slam a large section of the country.
"A severe weather threat is in place from the Mississippi and Ohio valleys into the Southeast starting this weekend, with possible damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes,' said Weather.com meteorologist Sara Tonks in an online forecast. Wintry weather will also plague portions of the northern tier this weekend, forecasters said.
Already this month, three separate severe weather outbreaks have led to more than 220 tornadoes and nearly 1,900 other reported incidents including high winds and hail, AccuWeather reported.
"Compared to March 2024, this is about double the amount of severe weather incidents, with nearly four times the number of tornadoes," said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist. "The storm spanning March 14-16 alone brought more tornadoes and overall severe weather incidents than all of March 2024."
