Tornado season in Colorado begins in May and continues through August, but tornados have also been recorded as early as February and as late as November. These storms typically take place on the eastern portion of the state, and are rarely seen along the Front Range.
This year high pressure systems have been pushed farther west in the United States than is typically expected this time of year. As a result, Colorado is experiencing north westerly flow aloft, which is a pattern favorable for significant severe weather and tornados.
