Spring 2025 Forecast; A Season of Contrasts Across the U.S.
The start of spring in 2025 will bring a stark contrast in weather across the United States, with some regions basking in early warmth while others grapple with lingering winter conditions. According to AccuWeather’s spring forecast, the transition to spring will be marked by a turbulent mix of snow, frost, and wintry chills, particularly in the northern half of the country. The Great Lakes’ extensive ice cover, a result of January’s unusually cold temperatures, will suppress temperatures in the Midwest and parts of the Northeast, delaying the arrival of springlike weather.
In the Pacific Northwest, persistent stormy weather will contribute to a colder start to the season, while the central Rockies may experience a quicker transition to spring. Farmers and gardeners in the East should prepare for late frosts, which could damage sensitive plants, with frosty mornings expected to persist into May in areas like the Ohio Valley and central Appalachians. The tug-of-war between milder air and colder bursts could also lead to late-season snow, particularly in the interior Northeast and Midwest, offering a potential boost to ski resorts that have struggled with mild winters in recent years.
Severe weather is expected to ramp up in the central and southern U.S., with the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys likely to see an increase in tornadoes and damaging storms. Cities like Chicago, St. Louis, and Memphis are identified as areas to watch. Meanwhile, Florida may experience dry and pleasant conditions early in the season, but these could give way to early heat and drought by May.
The Southwest is forecast to heat up quickly, with drought conditions intensifying across Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas. This could lead to low river and reservoir levels, setting the stage for explosive wildfires. The ongoing La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean will continue to influence weather patterns, potentially shifting the focus of severe weather and precipitation across the country.
As spring progresses, the U.S. will face a split between regions enjoying early warmth and those still contending with winter’s lingering effects, highlighting the season’s unpredictable nature.
