NOAA forecasters say that the "El Nino" oceanic situation will end by early spring. This could have a direct impact on how the severe weather pattern will play on severe weather season. The result.. the Gulf of Mexico sea surface temperatures remained cooler than normal. The severe weather that did occur was more linear without the needed elements for tornadoes..

Trends of previous years show a minimized activity in severe weather. Studies show that conditions could be below normal as far as the tornadoes that are documented in the US during this time period. Trends may point toward a strong tornao season with an up count for destructive tornadoes. The midwest may have a strong severe season in 2010 if patterns from comparable years show a repeat.
