Surge in Tornado Outbreaks Across Great Plains and Midwest Raises Concerns
Tornadoes increasingly form in large groups, with hundreds appearing at once. Dozens have been reported in the Great Plains and Midwest.
Recent data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has revealed a concerning trend in tornado activity, with an increase in both frequency and intensity. This surge in tornado occurrences is particularly evident in the Great Plains and Midwest regions of the United States.
Rising Numbers
On Monday and Tuesday of this week, over a dozen tornadoes were reported in the aforementioned regions. The Storm Prediction Center, operated by the NOAA, has been diligently tracking these occurrences. Additionally, just two weeks ago, an astonishing 105 tornadoes were reported in a single day, marking April as an especially active period for tornado formations.
Changing Patterns
While tornado outbreaks have historically been a part of these regions, their frequency and collective numbers have seen a noticeable increase in recent decades. This shift in weather patterns is a cause for concern and requires further study and analysis from meteorological experts.
