America will probably get more killer tornado- and hail-spawning supercells as the world warms, according to a new study that also warns the lethal storms will edge eastward to strike more frequently.
The study in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society predicts a nationwide 6.6 per cent increase in supercells and a 25.8 per cent jump in the area and time the strongest supercells twist and tear over land under a scenario of moderate levels of future warming by the end of the century

America will probably get more killer tornado- and hail-spawning supercells as the world warms, according to a new study that also warns the lethal storms will edge eastward to strike more frequently in the more populous Southern states, like Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
They see double-digit percentage point drops in June and July.In the mid-South, including Rolling Fork, the study projects supercell activity peaking two hours later, from 6 to 9 p.m. instead of 4 to 7 p.m. That means more nighttime supercells.If you want a disaster, create a supercell at night where you cant go outside and visually confirm the threat so people dont take it as seriously, Gensini said.The eastward shift also puts more people at risk because those areas are more densely populated than the traditional tornado alley of Kansas and Oklahoma, Ashley and Gensini said.
