Tornadoes form from powerful thunderstorms that need a large amount of energy in the atmosphere. This energy is available when the air is very warm and moist. New York has a relatively cool climate and often does not have the energy necessary. Additionally, wind sheer (changes in wind speed and direction with height) over New York favors thunderstorms to form squall lines, while tornadoes form most easily in supercells.
