Thunderstorms develop in warm, moist air in advance of eastward-moving cold fronts. These thunderstorms often produce large hail, strong winds, and tornadoes. Tornadoes in the winter and early spring are often associated with strong, frontal systems that form in the Central States and move east. Occasionally, large outbreaks of tornadoes occur with this type of weather pattern. Several states may be affected by numerous severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.

Do hurricanes make tornadoes?

Yes. It is fairly common for hurricens to produce tornadoes. However, most tornadoes are not produced by hurricanes.


What geographical factors make tornadoes common in the US?

Two main geographic factors make tornadoes common in the U.S. The Gulf of Mexico. which provides the warm, moist air that powers thunderstorms, and the Rocky Mountains, which provide dry air. When a low pressure system forces the dry air into the moist air it creates a dry line, along which very powerful thunderstorms can form. The system will also likely pull in cool air from the north, which,, when forced into the warmer air creates a cold front. Strong thunderstorms may also form hear, but they tend to be more stronger along the dry line. If the cold front and dry line intersect the result is a triple point. Here the storms can become exceptionally powerful. Given strong wind shear these powerful thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. Most tornadoes in the U.S. form between the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains.


Do planes make tornadoes?

No. planes do not make tornadoes


Why do hurricanes and tornadoes happen at the same time whenever?

They don't. While it is fairly common for a hurricane to produce tornadoes, most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes. The thunderstorms that produce tornadoes may produce strong, even hurricane-force winds, but that does not make them hurricanes.

Can tornadoes occur in Idaho?

Yes, tornadoes can occur in Idaho, but they are relatively rare compared to other states in "Tornado Alley." The mountainous terrain and cooler climate of Idaho make tornadoes less common, but they can still form under the right conditions, typically in the eastern part of the state.


Why will Alaska likely never have any tornado?

Alaska's climate is not conducive to the formation of tornadoes because the state lacks the necessary conditions for them to occur. Tornadoes typically form in regions where warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air, and Alaska's cold climate and geographical location make it unlikely for these conditions to come together.


Can a tornado and a hurricane occur in the same place at once?

Yes. It is actually fairly common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes as they make landfall.


Why are tornadoes not common in Europe?

The climate conditions are not quite right for high frequencies of tornadoes. To form tornadoes usually need a collision of warm moist air with cooler or dried air to create thunderstorms and wind shear to make those thunderstorms into the supercells that produce most tornadoes. This setup does not occur very often in Europe.
