Published in the April 2024 issue of the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, the study examined tornadoes rated F/EF1 or stronger over two separate, 35-year periods (1951-1985 and 1986-2020) to look for changes in where these tornadoes formed. F/EF0 tornadoes were excluded to filter out the much greater number of these weakest tornadoes detected in recent years due to improved technology and more extensive National Weather Service damage surveys.
What past decades looked like: From the mid-20th century until the mid 1980s, the map looked like the past version of the Plains "Tornado Alley" with peak activity from northern Texas into Oklahoma and Kansas.
As the map below shows, a corridor of increased tornadoes extended from the lower Ohio Valley to the Deep South and westward to Oklahoma.

We need to eat more bugs.
Probably caused by all the solar panels and wind farms.
First question you should ask on these ‘studies’
Who paid for the “study”?
Next - what data was used?
Finally - Where is the source document so I can look at it myself?
If we just clustered in our 15-minute cities, there’d be no trailer parks nor subdivisions for tornadoes to plow through.
We’ve had 106 tornadoes so far this year and our average is 56. It’s 6th on the list for most tornadoes. I’m smack dab in the middle of tornado alley - same place it’s always been
If you look at the time of Doppler radar the trend is fairly benign.
The mountains to the east and west and the wind from Canada and Gulf of Mexico have not changed. As long as the landscape and continents do not change then tornado alley will remain.
