Alaska's climate is not conducive to the formation of tornadoes because the state lacks the necessary conditions for them to occur. Tornadoes typically form in regions where warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air, and Alaska's cold climate and geographical location make it unlikely for these conditions to come together.
States that typically do not get hit by tornadoes include Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Arizona. These states have lower instances of tornadoes compared to the Central Plains states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas.
There have been several tornadoes in Alaska, all of which have occurred in the southern part of the state. Tornadoes are a product of strong thunderstorms, which require an unstable atmosphere. Instability occurs with a warm, moist lower atmosphere. Because of the cold climate, tornadoes are exceedingly rare in Alaska. But, contrary to popular belief, Alaska is not always cold. Temperatures have occasionally risen has high as the 90s with warm air masses surging up from the south. Such conditions could support thunderstorms and tornadoes.
