are not extremely cold. On average, between 40 inches (1,000 mm) and 80 inches (2,000

mm) of precipitation falls annually across the state. Tropical cyclones and afternoon thunderstorms due to hot and humid

conditions contribute to precipitation during the summer and sometimes fall months, while

extratropical cyclones contribute to precipitation during the fall, winter, and spring months. Tornadoes are most common in the spring with a secondary peak in November.

Hail and damaging winds often occur in summertime thunderstorms. Tornadoes are

very uncommon in the summer unless a tropical cyclone is present.
