Abstract:
Tornado outbreaks occurring during the month of November during 1955-99 have been analyzed to determine their climatological and synoptic aspects. Significant climatological results include a southeast regional frequency with a progressive type outbreak scenario as well as a temporal frequency of outbreaks in the final half of November. Similar synoptic patterns include tornado formation primarily east of a deep mid-level trough along a quickly moving cold front after rapid return flow from the Gulf of Mexico.
