Monthly Warning Counts

Posted: 13 Oct 2021 05:21 AM

2021 has been a strange year for severe weather over the United States, so it makes sense that the past few days in October have seen plenty of it. The featured chart presents NWS issued tornado warnings by month since 1986. Please note that data prior to 2001 is not exactly the greatest of quality, but is the best known at this time! The October this year is already above September not too far behind the total for all of April! The warning total count this October is nothing too exceptional yet as compared with past Octobers as this month certainly can behave a lot like April with strong clashes of cold and warm/humid air masses.
