The number of spring severe weather events has been below normal for the past couple of years, especially the number of tornadoes. On average, around 1,300 tornadoes hit the United States each year, according to the Storm Prediction Center. Since 2012, the United States has averaged around 900 tornadoes per year.
This year, the storm centers are predicting that warmer air will be more widespread across the country this season, increasing the instability and the potential for storms.
