There are four types of air masses that influence weather in the United States. These are continental polar, maritime polar, continental tropical, and maritime tropical.
It's an occluded front.

When a cold front overtakes a warm front, the warm air mass is lifted entirely off the ground and an occluded front forms.

Hurricanes produce sustained winds of at least 74 mph (119 km/h).

The stage of a thunderstorm that rain begins to fall is when the clouds begin to turn black and during and after the lightning strikes.
Middle-latitude cyclones (also called extratropical lows) often have a comma shape.
A violently rotating column of air is called a tornado.
Convergent Counterclockwise
The waves in the open ocean are usually caused by the friction of the winds over the open ocean of water. The waves in the ocean vary in strength and size depending with the speed of wind and the friction with the surface of water.
A warm front forms.
Tornadoes are most frequent from April through June.
cirrus clouds
Mid-latitude cyclones are typically comma-shaped.

Hurricanes, Cyclones and Typhoons (they are all the same thing) dissiape enormous amounts of energy. On Earth this energy comes from the Sun and the Sun;s energy stored in Sun warmed waters in the the Tropics. Therefore Hurricanes are a feature of tropical oceanic regiones.
Thus the poles and the centre of continents are areas where hurricanes are least likely to happen.
