That changed, though, when this week’s bout of severe weather destabilized the atmosphere and brought not one but two tornadoes to the region - the other twister happened in Carpinteria, further up the coast. “You need very warm, moist air in place, and cool air aloft to produce a tornado, so this cooler marine air that we get at the surface suppresses the processes that are needed for tornadoes.” “Cooler air near the surface is not conducive for the formation of tornadoes,” National Weather Service forecaster David Sweet explained. The perfect conditions that create hundreds of them every year in the Midwest, giving it the famous nickname “Tornado Alley,” just aren’t all that common here. The reason California doesn’t experience tornadoes more frequently is simple. And in 2019, Orange County residents were shocked by a tornado warning during a winter storm. A weak tornado hit Sunset Beach back in 2010.
