    Where Do Thunderstorms Form Most Frequently In The US?

    Thunderstorms occur most often in Florida, along the Gulf Coast, and the southeastern states. Many of the thunderstorms that form over the eastern 2/3 's of the US occur as part of the general convergence and frontal wedging that accompany passing mid latitude cyclones. Per unit area Florida experiences the most tornadoes, though they tend to be rather weak with the majority being EF0 or EF1. This number of tornadoes is boosted by ones that form along the edges of hurricanes that occur near the…

    5. The region of greatest tornado activity shifts northward from early spring to mid-summer because in the spring, humid Gulf air moves northward as do contrasting air masses, so tornadoes are most prevalent in southern Atlantic states and southern Great Plains. In the summer, contrast between air masses lessens and jet stream is near the northern plains eastward to New York.…

    Essay On Joplin Tornado

    The Joplin tornado has some common factors like other tornadoes. Tornadoes strike in the Midwest of the United States, where hot, wet air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold, dry air from Canada mix most frequently. Joplin hit on May 22, which is in the spring. Most tornadoes in the United States strike in spring and summer where the weather is warmer. The Joplin tornado’s wind speed was at its highest at an estimated 200 miles per hour, most tornado wind speeds only climb to about 150. Southwest Missouri was hit with a “multi-vortex” tornado, which is a tornado where two or more cyclones hide inside a wider wind tunnel. That kind of tornado is not very common, and that’s one of the factors that makes Joplin so well-known.…

    The Tornado In Dupree

    The tornado that happened in Dupree occurred in June of the year 2010. It was a regular day, the wind was blowing, there were lots of rain coming down, and it was cloudy. Well that was what we thought, because there was no tornadoes that happened in Dupree for a long time. Before my family and I got a chance to make even dinner, the first tornado whistle came on. My family and I went in the truck to see where it was or see if we could spot a tornado. After scouting for a bit, we took off and went back home getting ready in case the tornado actually did touch the ground and make it toward town. If I remember right, I think it was after the third whistle went off and that was when the first tornado was seen coming closer into town. That’s when…

    Why Do Weather Predictions May Be Inaccurate

    It would be impossible to predict the exact times and the exact areas of the possible eight tornadoes in the eastern Nebraska/western Iowa area in a time span of 4 hours and 50 minutes because nature is uncontrollable. There are more variables to predicting weather than humans know. A change in weather patterns is a very big reason on why weather predictions may be inaccurate. When predicting future weather, you use information based on weather in the past across other areas to create a weather “pattern.” However, nobody knows when that pattern may end or when a new one begins. If weather predictions are based off of present patterns, there are bound to be mistakes because if a weather event clears up before it reaches an area it was expected to make it to, the prediction will be wrong because the prediction was based off of past events and the possible assumption that the event will continue. During the project, the half-hour radars started to show heavy precipitation, and as the hours passed, the storms got more severe. However, the 2000 hour radar was different. At 1930 hours, there was the potential of very heavy rain, lightning, heavy winds, and hail in the Omaha radar reading. Only 30 minutes later, however, the weather in the Omaha area nearly…
