OKLAHOMA CITY (March 9, 2010)--The wetter-than-usual winter and a jet stream that’s dipping deep into Tornado Alley could add up to an active spring for tornadoes, forecasters say.
The 2010 tornado season is off to a slow start.
One twister was reported in California in February.
A strong twister ripped through Hammon in western Oklahoma Monday night, destroying five homes.
Greg Carbin of the Storm Prediction Center in Norman said Tuesday there will be an increase in thunderstorm activity as spring approaches and the Southern Plains states warm up.
Dr. Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman said Monday's tornado does not necessarily mean the season will be more active, but that more tornados are possible in the coming weeks if the same weather pattern continues.

Could be. Or maybe not. They can't predict what will happen 3 days from now with certainty. Just like we were supposed to have bad hurricane seasons the last 5 years, and didn't. Every year "could be" a bad year for tornadoes. It all depends on how the hot and cold air mix and the humidty and temps. No one knows.
Yeah, let's get Al Gore to explain this winter to us all. Global warming is a farce and nothing else.
Let me guess...global warming.
