‼️ DIXIE ALLEY TORNADO SEASON BEGINS IN NOVEMBER ‼️

Most people associate tornado season with spring, but across the South and Lower Mississippi Valley, activity ramps back up in November.

As the jet stream strengthens and dips south, warm, humid Gulf air collides with colder air, creating favorable conditions for severe storms and rotating supercells.

Dixie Alley’s primary tornado season runs from November through March, with November often bringing multi-state outbreaks and multiple tornadoes in a single day.

It’s a time of year that can catch people off guard if they aren’t paying attention.

TORNADO SEASON BEGINS SOON: Alabama’s tornado season runs from November through May, so we will be in that season in less than one week.

Here's a map that needs a little explaining. It's from Dr. Victor Gensini's group at Northern Illinois University — a 'top ten analogs' map for Week 3, November 10–16. Dr. Gensini is a friend and they do wonderful work at NIU.

Here's what that means: they found the ten past weeks whose large-scale patterns best matched the one expected that week, then plotted where tornadoes happened in those weeks. Each dot is a tornado report from those analog weeks. Red dots are significant tornadoes, EF2 or stronger. Total: 290 tornadoes across the ten weeks, an average of 29 per week, with 39 significant ones.

Notice where they cluster: the Deep South, including right here in Alabama, plus parts of the Midwest. That's the classic fall severe weather setup for “Dixie Alley”.

Important: this is NOT a forecast of 290 tornadoes that week, and it doesn't mean your town gets hit. It's a heads-up: the pattern shaping up for mid-November has historically produced elevated tornado activity in the Southeast. Stay weather-aware as we get into November.
