A storm system is forming, bringing a wall of cold air that will change the weather across the US, especially in the Central and Eastern regions. The cold air will clash with warmer air, leading to rain and storms, including a potential landfall of Tropical Storm Philipe in New England. As the cold air settles, temperatures will drop significantly, with some areas experiencing temperatures 20-25 degrees below average.
The weather pattern is expected to lead to a secondary tornado season, also known as the fall tornado season, which typically occurs in October and November. This season is caused by the clash of cold air from Canada with warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, leading to severe weather, including tornadoes.
The affected areas will include the coastal regions between Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama, as well as parts of Kansas, Florida, and the Ohio Valley. The weather expert emphasizes the importance of being prepared for this season, especially for those living in areas prone to tornadoes, and recommends having a tornado shelter or a safe place to take shelter.
The video also promotes a company called Survivor Storm, which offers above-ground tornado shelters that can withstand EF5 tornadoes. The expert has partnered with the company to raise awareness about the importance of having a tornado shelter, especially for those living in areas without basements or safe places to take shelter.
