March, in like a lion... out like a lion. Is that possible?

Good morning everyone.  The weather here in the Northland took a quick turn back to sub-zero temps this morning with most areas around the Twin Cities coming in at about 5 degrees below zero.  The latest outlooks are forecasting a very stormy and wet month of March for much of the country.  Here, this will mean continued snowfall throughout much of the month and south of here will see more severe weather than usual.  Not what anybody who lives anywhere near a river wants to hear.  Flood forecasts become more dire almost every day due to the fact that temps remain cold enough for not only more snow but not melting what we already have.  My fear is that once Spring finally arrives it will be like a light switch causing flash melting of snow thus increasing the flood risk. The Southern plains in to the Ozarks could see some severe development Friday with large hail and damaging winds being the primary threat.  There may be a slight risk of severe storms developing on Sat. along the gulf states as the atmosphere will be much more unstable in this region.  We are also tracking what could be a significant weather system moving in to the upper midwest by Mon.-Tue. next week.  Stay tuned in the coming days for updates as well as some pretty exciting announcements from World's Wildest Weather!  Have a great day!
