Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tornadic thunderstorms that form ahead of a cold front most often travel from the southwest to the northeast. This is because the cold front (which is responsible for triggering the thunderstorms) is moving in from the northwest and pushing the warm, moist air ahead of it towards the northeast. This creates an environment where storms are most likely to form and move in a generally northeastward direction.
