For instance, a CAPE value significantly above 1000 J/kg suggests a highly unstable atmosphere, making it conducive for storms to develop. Conversely, lower CAPE values might result in weaker storms ...

Tornadoes form by an extreme spinning of air caused by a mixture of heat, humidity and changes in air. Here's how they all ...

Tornadoes are among nature's fiercest furies. Despite the destruction they can cause, the mechanism that results in tornadoes ...

In fact, nearly all supercell tornadoes start off relatively weak, strengthen, and then weaken as they dissipate. The preliminary survey of the separate Tylertown tornado had an initial rating of ...

These secondary tornadoes don’t spin off on their own but are part of the same parent supercell, caught in the chaotic dance of a powerful storm. These satellite tornadoes often appear to orbit ...

AGAIN, THIS IS A DANGEROUS STORM PRODUCING A TORNADO. THIS IS THE SAME CELL WHICH PRODUCED THE DAMAGE AND POWERFUL TORNADO THAT MOVED ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES, WENT THROUGH NORTHERN WALTHALL ...

More tornadoes in the Southeast put more population centers in the bullseye of what some researchers are calling a new Tornado Alley. A study posted on the American Meteorological Society’s ...

One tornado was confirmed as a result of Sunday's storms. The EF-1 tornado was in Sharkey County. According to the Sharkey County EOC office, the tornado touched down between Rolling Fork and Grace on ...

It is at this stage that a thunderstorm becomes a supercell. This suction vacuum also increasingly spins as heat and shear pulls the vortex skyward. When this spin becomes strong, a tornado can form.
