There's growing evidence that "Tornado Alley," the area of the United States most susceptible to tornadoes, is shifting eastwards, according to a recent study looking at tornado formation patterns. "Tornado Alley" is a shorthand term that has typically described the central Plains region of the United States, but according to the study, published in April in the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, parts of the eastern U.S. now face the "greatest tornado threat."

The Arizona Weatherman is looking at a near-term decrease in thunderstorms for Arizona as a whole in the next few days.

Oklahoma State

The earliest and strongest CAT 4 hurricane has formed in an area that typically doesn’t see that activity in June, likely thanks to above-average sea temperatures. This storm may hit Jamaica on its way to the Yucatan Peninsula. After that, models diverge with some bringing it to the Texas coastline. While we watch that, a decent cold front will work through Oklahoma on our July 4th holiday causing some Mother Nature fireworks of her own.
