Tornado sighting yesterday in Kansas across the Tornado Alley 🌪️

Why do tornadoes tend to form in this region? 👇

🌎 Tornado Alley is a region of the United States and Canada where tornadoes are most frequent in the Great Plains between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains.

In this large and flat area, polar, cold, and dry air from Canada converges with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to develop powerful thunderstorms and supercells, an environment with favorable conditions for tornadoes.

ℹ️⛈️ Severe convective events such as tornadoes can be forecast on Aphelion Weather's high-resolution HRRR and NAM models.
