March ushers in the early stirrings of spring to
Oklahoma, bringing with it a mix of mild temperatures and increased precipitation. During this month, the state typically experiences temperatures ranging from lows of about 35°F (1.7°C) to highs that touch 65°F (18.3°C).
Western Oklahoma, particularly the panhandle, while experiencing a significant rise in temperatures from the previous months, still retains a cooler disposition. This is especially noticeable during the nights, which can be crisp and chilly. In the southeastern regions, the warming trend is more pronounced, with temperate conditions reflecting the humid subtropical influence.
The snowfall that was characteristic of
January and
February starts to wane in March. While there could be occasional snow showers, especially in the northwest, they become infrequent. Rain begins to dominate the precipitation patterns, preparing the ground for the upcoming bloom. This month sees an uptick in rainfall, especially in eastern Oklahoma, gearing up for the more rainy months ahead.
Tornado activity starts to pick up in March, albeit on a smaller scale. Oklahoma, being in the tornado-prone area, begins to see the formation of these twisters, with the frequency increasing as the month progresses towards
April.
The lengthening days, coupled with increased sunshine hours, rejuvenate the state's flora, bringing color back to the prairies, plains, and forests. March serves as a transitional period in Oklahoma, gradually phasing out the last vestiges of winter and paving the way for the full bloom of spring that April promises.
