La Niña identified as source of violent tornado outbreaks

Don’t blame it on global warming or climate change.
Blame this year’s extraordinarily violent tornado season on La Niña, a periodic cooling of waters in the Pacific Ocean that is the flip side of the better-known El Niño phenomenon.
La Niña shifts the polar jet stream into a position where storms from the West collide with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. This year, those collisions have occurred with some frequency in southern Missouri and Arkansas.
La Niñas and El Niños happen every three to five years. The La Niña shaping our weather since January — the strongest on record since the winter of 1988-1989 — has nearly disappeared.
If new research is correct, the strength and frequency of the recent tornadoes that have ravaged the heartland should decline.
But, the experts say we are only half way through the peak of the spring tornado season, which continues through June. So, don’t let down your guard.
