Survey Summary:
A National Weather Service storm survey team determined that a
weak EF-0 tornado, with peak wind speeds of 75 mph, occurred near
the Spring Hill area.
A weak but relatively long-lived tornado began near Old Hilton
Road east of Chapin and moved northeast causing sporadic EF-0
tree damage, crossing I-26 and Bush Mill Road. The tornado then
caused more concentrated, but still minor, tree damage along Wash
Lever Road and Muddy Ford Road before moving northeast over the
Broad River. Damage likely continued across the river, but the
area was inaccessible through the tornadoes likely path.
Additional tree damage began again along Highway 215. The path
began to turn more easterly as the tornado weakened but
additional tree damage occurred near Landis Road and Highway
269 before the tornado dissipated.

The 3-month Climate Outlook
...(March/April/May)
The outlook calls for a 40 to 50 percent chance of above normal
temperatures along with equal chance of below, above and normal
precipitation through the period.

...La Nina Conditions Present...
Equatorial sea surface temperatures are near to below average across
the central Pacific and above average in the eastern Pacific. ENSO neutral
is favored with a 62 percent chance to developing the next month and
persist through Northern Hemisphere summer.
