Short summary
This study identifies five warm-season weather regimes (WRs) to investigate the link between tornado activity and large-scale atmospheric circulations. Certain WRs strongly affect tornado activity due to their relationship with the environment. When a WR that positively affects tornado activity persists over multiple days, it further increases the tornado activity probability. The links found highlight the potential application of WRs for developing better seasonal prediction of tornadoes.
