Narrative:
Aircraft X was inbound to svh trying to beat the weather to the field requesting a visual approach. Aircraft X reported the field in sight and was issued a visual approach. Aircraft X then informed me that he was circling the field to land on runway 28. I then issued a clearance to aircraft Y to fly heading 090 vector to the other side of airport for visual to avoid weather and help with traffic flow.aircraft X then gave a pilot report and I ask him if he wanted to cancel. Aircraft X at 018 MSL responded not yet. I then descended aircraft Y to 036 MSL. Aircraft X then reported he had to go around due to wind shear. I then attempted to climb aircraft Y to 070 to allow for the unexpected situation of aircraft X. Aircraft X was headed towards heavy precipitation requested vectors. I assigned him a heading of 300 and a climb to 036. The turns were issued below the mia [minimum IFR altitude]. I issued the turn due the unsafe situation caused by the proximity of the weather. [The] weather posed a greater danger to the aircraft than the terrain did to the jet aircraft that was climbing.encourage aircraft that are inbound [to] airports with weather to consider alternate or take a delay.

Narrative: Aircraft X was inbound to SVH trying to beat the weather to the field requesting a visual approach. Aircraft X reported the field in sight and was issued a visual approach.
