A two-week onslaught of volatile weather has wrought death and destruction from the Southern Plains to the Northeast, bombarding the country's interior with disaster after disaster all because of a stalled weather pattern.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center has received more than 500 reports of tornadoes in the last 30 days. The 442 twisters reported in May -- which is historically tornado season's busiest month -- is still nearly double the 3-year average of 226 cyclones.
"The threat is ongoing in the same areas we have seen over the past couple of days," Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean said Wednesday on "FOX & friends."

I agree. We actually have a lot of historical data that tells us that warming is a pretty good thing. If that happened — big IF — I think we’d do just fine.
On the other hand, Cooling is a major problem. And I think the evidence today says that we are cooling.
And I have no idea how my SUV is making the earth cool.
[[Roy W. Spencer, a weather and climate researcher at the University of Alabama, said that “perfect conditions” to produce tornadoes this year have developed as “winter has refused to lose its grip on the western United States.”]]
Roy spencer is reviled by the left because he doesn’t fully agree with them and their agenda- so unfortunately the left will still repeatedly claim that global warming is to blame
Sounds much like the cold/cool weather here in central MN. We have yet to have an 80 degree day and it is nearly June. I have not been able to plant my flowers yet due to the rain and cold and...……….cold rain. It’s always cold and always raining, which keeps the rivers high nearly at or above flood stage. The clash with the intense heat over the southeast portion of the country is what is causing the severe storms, aka tornadoes.
Or... it could be because there were very few tornadoes last year and the 3-year average is all screwed up.
Weather Hysteria. Not unlike the "Historic, Unprecedented Mississippi River flooding" that's going on right now. I was in St. Louis for the '93 Mississippi flooding. That was "Historic and Unprecedented" as well, the river was 50 miles wide, in places, IIRC. But it wasn't as bad as it was in 1927. And so on.
No doubt that it's miserable for those affected. But hysteria doesn't help them out.
We did warm up briefly, so I put out some flowers. Next week, bam.
My front room is packed with pots of flowers. Two more days.
The CO runoff hasn’t started yet; the mtns are still getting pretty good snow. One ski resort reopened because of it. And, CO snowpack is >250%, on average, some areas are over 300%.
Once that starts melting off on top of all of the rain water in those rivers, watch out.
It’s called a Grand Solar Minimum. It alters the jet-streams and changes the weather patterns.
The Appalachian Trail has closed in parts of the NE due to wintery conditions.
“Weather is a complex system that is affected primarily by (1) the sun, (2) Earth’s orbit around the sun, (3) Earth’s rotation, (4) gravity from the moon, (5) the moon’s orbit around the Earth, (6) cosmic radiation, and (7) the effects of all of the above on Earth’s atmosphere. SUV’s and cow farts may have some effect on weather, but they are not in the top 1000.”
VERY WELL SAID!
Unless you’re standing next to the cow!
Agree! Very well said!
Weather that builds a mile high glacier is coming. And you can thank the deep state for every bit of it.
Every year, the number of ground observers, (tornado-chaser traffic jams, now) plus ever-increasing availability of Doppler shear/rotation imaging RADARS, plus RADAR debris-cloud imaging modes, etc. -- means that more rotating air masses are being observed, detected and reported than ever before.
It is virtually guaranteed that the number of REPORTED vortices is increasing (and will continue to increase).
The same scrutiny applied to prior years' weather would also produce a larger number of reports.

Doesn't necessarily mean that actual tornados are getting more numerous...
Yeah and right over our heads in West Texas. This is how the ice age begins. Rain, rain, rain, sleet, sleet, ice, etc.. Always wondered why it smelled like a swamp around here when it rained heavy. Lol.
Yes. That pesky Sun is number 1. And that involves a lot of complicated processes not only involving solar heat, but electrical effects and interactions with magnetospheres of the planets. Sunspot activity has a direct effect on electrical interaction with the Earth, causing weather changes. People often ignore the electrical effects on our iron core.
Been pushing 90 here in MO
As the Grand Solar Minimum that’s beginning cools Earth over the next 50 years, today’s millenials will be praying for global warming, for winter to end, for lower heating bills, for more and less expensive food.
If you have not already done so, “Dark Winter” by John L. Casey is an interesting read.
