Let's Talk About June

Is it time for the return of the lost month of tornado season?

Look, it doesn’t take a statistical study to convince many of us storm chasers that June has been largely MIA for a decade.

But we did make a video about that.

Historically, you could consider June a second May in many years. No, really!

One of the big drivers of historical June tornado patterns was an active jet that continued into the month of June on the Southern and Central Plains. This brought ample tornado chances to Kansas/Nebraska/Oklahoma/Texas/New Mexico well into what has basically become a summer month. This feature has been missing in action for much of the last decade.

But this year? It’s back baby.
