You made it to meteorological spring, which includes March, April and May. Now, what weather can you expect in Texas? There is actually a lot going on this month.
March is the month we see most freezes across the state come to an end. But you might want to hold off doing some landscaping and gardening a little bit longer.
Also, remember this month we “spring ahead” and set the clocks one hour forward on Sunday the 14th, which means the sunrise and sunset will be an hour later.
So we’ll have a sunrise around 7:30 a.m. and sunset around 7:30 p.m. Eventually, the sunrise will become earlier, and the sunset will become later.
Of course, temperatures start to warm up, but it shouldn't feel too hot just yet.
We are starting up the season right on cue, with severe storms already rolling through Texas.
Severe weather season begins in March and usually drops off pretty quickly into the hotter months by June. The peak of severe weather season is in May when we can see more storms.
These storms include tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. Also, watch out for frequent lightning and heavy rain leading to flooding.
Be sure to stay weather aware and have multiple ways to get weather alerts.
There is only a very small window to take advantage of the wild Texas bluebonnet flowers.
They are usually in full bloom sometime between late March and mid-April. You do not want to miss the opportunity to take a picture in a field of green, purple-blue, and white.
With all of this said, the NWS predicts March to be warmer and drier than normal.
Enjoy the comfortable temperatures but also stay weather-aware this month.
