Extreme temperature changes can lead to the possibility of severe weather. SERVPRO of Hayward is a click away if you experience any damage.

It probably comes as no surprise that the United States is one of the largest nations in the world. It comes in at a close second to Russia and Canada.

Having such a large region means that “seasonal” weather will vary for different areas throughout the country. Different weather patterns bring about different weather threats.

With spring nearing, we want to share what each region is likely to experience as far as weather is concerned.

First, let’s look at the Pacific Northwest, which is prone to heavy rains during the spring months, often leading to flooding. And the areas that are higher in elevation are still dealing with snow or melting ice. Regardless of the weather being experienced, each one brings problems of its own.

Moving to the Upper Midwest and Northeast region, you will see that this area has the longest continuation of winter weather. This colder weather will typically hang around during the entire spring season causing possible snowstorms and blizzards. We’re quite familiar with this type of spring weather, since it isn’t unusual for colder temperatures to hang around here until nearly summer.

In the complete opposite situation, the southern West Coast often experiences excessive heat waves. Heat waves are dangerous to the lives and safety of people.

The middle of the country, from Iowa down to Texas, will have to be on alert for windstorms, derechos and the risk of wildfires. Because of the windy and dry season in this area, wildfires can easily spread. Much of this area is also part of “Tornado Alley,” which is where most tornadoes occur.

Finally, the Southeast region will be experiencing a wide range of severe weather events, including tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. States along the coast will also be on the lookout for rip currents and the threat of early-season hurricanes.

Regardless of where you choose to raise a family, you will always have to stay aware of your surroundings. The threat of extreme weather leaves no region out, so it is beneficial to always be prepared.
