Cover Story: Tornado outbreaks pose significant risks to both life and property, yet global climate models cannot simulate them directly due to their fine-scale nature. This study demonstrates a replicable method to approximate outbreak-favorable environments using the covariability between the WMAXSHEAR and 500 hPa geopotential height anomalies. By applying threshold-based filtering and Maximum Covariance Analysis, we show that the MPI-ESM1.2-HR model can reproduce the leading atmospheric pattern associated with U.S. tornado outbreaks in the month of May in past simulations. This proof-of-concept provides a pathway to evaluate how outbreak-supportive environments may evolve under climate change. View this paper
