Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms, which get their energy from relatively warm, moist air. In the winter the air is colder and does not have as much energy.
Tornadoes are least common in winter and autumn.
Tornadoes are least likely to occur in fall and winter.

Tornadoes are least common in winter and autumn.
Tornadoes occur least often in the winter.
Tornadoes are least likely to occur in fall and winter.
