Fundamental view

The latest spring storm will be tracking slowly off the eastern US today with moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms , NatGasWeather.com reported on April 8. The storm will sweep through the central US and into the eastern US, bringing colder-than-normal temperatures deep into the US Southeast, which will lead to several days of strong natural gas and heating demand.

High pressure formation will rapidly build into the central and eastern US late in the week, pushing temperatures into the 70s and 80s in the Plains and the South and 60s in much of the Midwest and Northeast.

However, cold blasts will return in the US around April 13-17th, as cold Canadian air moves back in the US territory, bringing significant surge in natural gas and heating demand.
