Hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. In the spring the oceans have not fully warmed up yet.

Why are hurricanes in the eastern US more likely in autumn than in spring?

In colder seasons, the ocean holds a lot more warmth. This is because the land takes all the warmth in warmer seasons. Hurricanes develop only when ocean water is warm enough. The spring is warmer than autumn. So, the ocean is warmer in autumn than it is in spring. This means that hurricanes in the eastern United States are more likely in the spring than the summer.


Do tornadic thunderstorms usually develop during the summer and fall?

No. Tornadic thunderstorms are more common in spring and early summer. Late summer and fall are better associated with hurricanes.

No, Milwaukee does not experience hurricanes due to its location in the northern Midwest, which is too far from the tropics where hurricanes typically form. Instead, Milwaukee is more prone to severe winter storms and occasional tornadoes during the spring and summer months.

Why don't hurricanes and tornadoes develop in the same months?

They do, to some degree. Tornadoes occur year-round and are often produced by hurricanes. It is true though, that tornado activity usually peaks in spring while hurricanes usually peak in late summer. The difference is do to the different conditions that produce them. Tornadoes most often form from extremely powerful thunderstorms called supercells. Supercells are most likely to form with very unstable air, wind shear, and colliding air masses of different temperatures. The atmosphere is most unstable when the lower atmosphere is very warm while the upper atmosphere is cold. Such instability is sometimes greater in the spring when the upper atmosphere has not warmed as much as in summer. Wind shear, or differences in wind speed and direction with altitude tends to be strongest in the winter and weakest in the summer. The in-between levels in spring are well-suited for supercells. Hurricanes are a different matter. They depend primarily on warm ocean water, and the oceans take a long time to warm up. They are usually warmest in the late summer. The weak wind shear of summer also favors hurricanes. Strong wind shear prevents hurricanes from organizing and can just about tear existing hurricanes apart.
