The number of tornadoes across the nation has surged in the last four weeks to overall levels that are now well above normal for the current time of year. One of the catalysts for these severe weather outbreaks has been the continuation of colder-than-normal air masses that have been dropping south and east from Canada into the US and this has set up “battle zone” regions when interacting with warm, humid air flowing northward from the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, there have been and will continue to be multiple waves of energy riding across the northern US enhancing upward motion in many of these severe weather cases. This active weather pattern will continue through the rest of May and Tuesday afternoon and evening may feature yet another severe weather outbreak including tornadoes across portions of Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri.
