Autumn Tornado Season
The Midwest and the South have two tornado seasons, one in the spring and a less intense and more sporadic one in autumn. During the autumn season, the upper atmospheric dynamics are once again more often conducive for major tornado outbreaks. Upper atmospheric temperatures cool down as the calendar shifts towards winter and jet stream winds increase, as does intensity of low pressure systems.

Famous quotes containing the words autumn, tornado and/or season:
“I saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like Silence, listening
To silence,”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
“The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Life contracts and death is expected,
As in a season of autumn.
The soldier falls.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
