It was weird as hell went from nice day to extremely windy can't see more than a quarter mile snowing sideways in about 5 minutes, and half an hour later it was back to nice but cold and windy.

More heat means more water evaporation, which means more water vapor in the air. More water vapor in the air leads to the LCL (lifting condensation level: the height at which the relative humidity of a parcel of air reaches 100%) tending to be lower to the ground; and tornadoes are more likely to form -- and be stronger when they do -- when the LCL is lower than higher. The worst tornadoes happen when the LCL is at about 400-600 meters; that's about the right height for air movement to cause the strongest rotation.

More heat also means stronger convective currents, which increases SRH (storm relative helicity: a measure of wind shear potential for cyclonic updraft rotation); and higher SRH also contributes to tornado formation because more air moving = more chance for a vortex to form.

so what you're saying is once the climate gets hot enough that the LCL is consistently below 400m the tornados will go away, so we just need to keep on going
