Description:In the United States, severe weather poses a threat to society, producing tornadoes and hail that can result in hundreds of casualties and billions of dollars in damages. Fortunately, skillful predictions of severe weather for short lead times of 0–8 days and longer lead times exceeding 1 month have been realized. However, this leaves a forecast gap at subseasonal to seasonal lead times of 2–5 weeks, when early-action decision making by stakeholders is typically made. Here we develop an empirical prediction model that fills this gap during March–June when severe weather is most prevalent across the United States.
