Tornado season is in spring because this is the time when air temperatures clash. The warm Gulf of Mexico winds mix with the cooler north winds, creating unstable atmospheric conditions which spawn tornadoes. The warmer it gets, the more likely it is for severe storms to form.

In Irving, a tornado with winds up to 110 mph struck, while another touched down in the 16,000-resident city of Ada, Oklahoma, according to preliminary information from the National Weather Service. There were also two tornadoes in Louisiana’s northern Caddo Parish and at least five in eastern Oklahoma.
