Tornado outbreak

A tornado outbreak occurs when multiple tornadoes form over a region within a short period, often associated with severe thunderstorms and unstable atmospheric conditions. These outbreaks are driven by a combination of warm, moist air meeting cold, dry air, creating strong wind shear and energetic updrafts. The resulting supercell storms can produce tornadoes that vary in size and strength, causing destruction over large areas. Tornado outbreaks are significant weather events that require awareness and preparedness, as they can lead to property damage, injuries, or fatalities depending on their intensity and the population's proximity.
