March started off spring with warm temperatures and several rounds of storms. However, colder weather then prevailed for much of April and May, resulting in a slow spring severe weather season overall. There was only one severe weather event in all of April in southern Indiana and central Kentucky, and just a few minor events in May. There were only two small tornadoes during the spring season. Temperature-wise, three out of April's four weeks were colder than normal and in May temperatures dropped into the 20s on the 9th.
