Abstract: Is tornado alley moving? Oftentimes, when we think of tornadoes in the United States, our minds picture America’s Great Plains—states like Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. But this isn’t exactly an accurate representation of tornadic activity within the United States. It is likely possible that tornado alley as a term has over-simplified tornadic weather as well as led to dangerous misconceptions regarding tornado risk for decades. Additionally, due to Earth’s changing climate system, the frequency and location of most tornadoes could be slowly shifting. As the Earth’s climate system changes due to warming temperatures, so do weather patterns. A very widely–acknowledged effect of this is changing precipitation patterns. An effect that hasn’t gained as much attention, is the implications of climate change for tornadoes and severe convective weather. In order to provide those affected by tornadoes with the maximum amount of resources for risk management and mitigation of the effects of tornadoes, more research into the extent to which these weather patterns are changing, and the role of climate change in any change is necessary.
