Florida has a very war, moist climate due to its location surrounded by warm, subtropical water. When air from outside the tropics intrudes it can trigger thunderstorms fueled by the abundant warm, moist air. Given wind shear these storms can produce tornadoes. Hurricanes also occasionally produce tornadoes in Florida.

However, Florida is in a region hundreds of miles east of Tornado Alley and separate from it. Additionally, while the concentration of total tornadoes in Florida is comparable to that of Tornado Alley, it receives far fewer strong tornadoes.
