Stormy Weather for the Southern States

There are two seasons of copious precipitation in the Southern United States. The interval from January through March is wet because storms emerge out of the Gulf of Mexico and move northward through the Central and Eastern States (providing the necessary moisture for considerable frozen precipitation over northern areas).

August and September make up the second rainy season, due to a combination of afternoon and evening thunderstorm activity (popping up in the heat of the day) and tropical cyclone activity, which peaks in early September. October is usually the driest and clearest month of the year.
