Severe weather season is approaching, and many are wondering if this year will bring more tornadoes to the south than previous years.
AccuWeather s Tornado Season Outlookshows Alabama is at a higher risk for severe storms this year due to a cold winter and although things may start off at a slow pace, quickly developing storms could pack a punch:
Accuweather meteorologists are calling for a slow start to the peak of the severe weather season across the United States this spring, and they are warning of the possibility that severe weather and tornado activity could abruptly fire up and rival one of the most notorious severe weather seasons ever, due to some atmospheric similarities current weather patterns bear to that devastating season.

We are still in cyclone season. This was the word from the Fiji Meteorological Service as Tropical Cyclone Ana rapidly weakened to below intensity yesterday.
In its 10th special weather bulletin, the Met office reiterated the call for Fijians to remain vigilant.
“Members of the public are reminded that Fiji is still in the cyclone season which will end in April,” the forecasters stated.
“Therefore, it is essential that all Fijians remain vigilant and prepared.”
Meanwhile, the impact of Tropical Cyclone Ana eased from yesterday as the system was downgraded to a low early yesterday morning.

The first tropical cyclone has formed overnight in the southwest Pacific, and some models have it tracking directly on to New Zealand just before Christmas.
Niwa forecasters says Cyclone Yasa is currently lying between Vanuatu and Fiji.
Weatherwatch.co.nz says it will spend the next few days spinning around in a giant circle gaining strength. It is expected to go from a category 1 storm to category 3 by the time it brushes past Fiji on Wednesday.
