CLARKSVILLE, Tenn – (CLARKSVILLENOW) Forecasters say the unseasonably warm weather is a possible indication that winter will just pass us by.
The month of February is already shaping up to be one of the warmest on record, with the average temperature running nearly 7 degrees above average.
“It’s not time for people to start planting flowers yet because we probably will see some more freezing temperatures but the pattern doesn’t look very favorable for significant winter precipitation,” said Meteorologist Justin Jackson with the National Weather Service in Nashville.
Jackson said the continuing warm weather is not a guarantee that the mid state will not experience significant snowfall. “We’ve seen snow as late as late-March before but the way that the pattern is shaping up this year it just doesn’t look very favorable at all,” he said.
A larger concern is potential severe spring time storms. Warmer temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico could make for an active spring storm season.
