Abstract

Squall line tornadoes are a type of tornado that are sneaky, dangerous, and difficult to forecast. They form along long rows of storms called squall lines and are generally less intense than supercell tornadoes but still pose a significant risk. Squall line tornadoes are more common in the southeastern United States and often occur in cool months and during the dark hours of the night. Recent research has shown that these tornadoes may be more common and more dangerous than previously thought. Scientists are studying the atmospheric ingredients and wind patterns that contribute to the formation of squall line tornadoes in order to improve forecasting and reduce the risk they pose.
