The tornado outbreak of November 30 – December 2, 2018 was a late-season tornado outbreak that occurred across portions of the West South Central states and Midwestern United States. As a potent shortwave trough moved across the southern portions of the country, it was met with ample moisture return and destabilization, resulting in widespread severe thunderstorms that produced damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes. The event began late on November 30 in Oklahoma, spreading east and resulting in one fatality in Aurora, Missouri. Several tornadic supercells moved across portions of Illinois on December 1, and resulted in 29 confirmed tornadoes. This outbreak was the largest December tornado event on record in Illinois history, surpassing the December 1957 tornado outbreak sequence.[https://www.weather.gov/ilx/ILTornadoOutbreaksinDecember 12/1/18 Event Sets Record for Largest December Tornado Outbreak in Illinois History] The most significant tornado of the event was an EF3 that impacted Taylorville, Illinois, damaging or destroying hundreds of structures and injuring 22 people.

Meteorological synopsis

The first advertised threat for organized severe weather came on November 26, when the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) outlined a day 5 risk area across portions of the Southern Plains.{{cite web|title=Day 4-8 Severe Weather Outlook Issued on Nov 26, 2018|url=https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/exper/day4-8/archive/2018/day4-8_20181126.html|publisher=Storm Prediction Center|date=November 26, 2018|accessdate=December 5, 2018}} A large slight risk was introduced for portions of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi on November 28,{{cite web|title=Nov 28, 2018 0830 UTC Day 3 Severe Thunderstorm Outlook|url=https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2018/day3otlk_20181128_0830.html|publisher=Storm Prediction Center|date=November 28, 2018|accessdate=December 5, 2018}} with an upgrade to enhanced risk for much of those same locations the next morning.{{cite web|title=Nov 29, 2018 0700 UTC Day 2 Convective Outlook|url=https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2018/day2otlk_20181129_0700.html|publisher=Storm Prediction Center|date=November 29, 2018|accessdate=December 5, 2018}} On November 30, a vigorous shortwave trough—part of an active wave train within the subtropical jet—progressed from Arizona into the Central Plains. The Storm Prediction Center maintained an enhanced risk for severe weather, including a 10% hatched risk area for tornadoes. As an expansive {{convert|110|–|140|kn|mph km/h|abbr=on}} jet stream pushed through the trough, it began to take on a negative tilt. A surface low developed over Colorado in response, pushing into eastern Kansas by early on December 1. Despite a confined warm sector, the combined influence of moderate CAPE around 500–1,500 J/kg, an 850 mb (hPa) jet stronger than {{convert|50|kn|mph km/h|abbr=on}}, low lifted condensation levels (LCLs), cold temperatures aloft (steep lapse rates), weakening convective inhibition (CIN), and persistent moisture transport (warm-air advection (WAA)) resulted in the formation of semi-discrete supercells and quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) that resulted in widespread damaging wind reports and several tornadoes.{{cite web|title=Nov 30, 2018 1300 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook|url=https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2018/day1otlk_20181130_1300.html|publisher=Storm Prediction Center|date=November 30, 2018|accessdate=December 5, 2018}}{{cite web|type=Report|agency=National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Springfield, Missouri|title=NWS Damage Survey for 12/01/18 Aurora Tornado Event|url=https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSSGF&e=201812011933|publisher=Iowa Environmental Mesonet|date=December 1, 2018|accessdate=December 1, 2018}} In Oklahoma, a large and long-tracked EF2 wedge tornado impacted areas near Tenkiller Ferry Lake, damaging or destroying many homes and other structures, downing countless trees, and injuring 5 people.

=December 1=

During the very early morning hours of December 1, an EF1 tornado struck the southern part of Aurora, Missouri, killing one person at a motel and damaging a few other nearby businesses. Later that day, the deepening area of low pressure—initially over Kansas—shifted into Iowa as it occluded. The aforementioned shortwave progressed into the Mississippi River Valley, supporting the formation of a secondary surface low pressure over Missouri that moved toward the Great Lakes. A mid-level area of low pressure was centered farther west near the surface low, and was a cold-core low, within a longwave trough extending over the outbreak area and which provided cold air aloft, steeper lapse rates, and thus higher convective instability. Low level instability as measured by surface to {{convert|3|km|ft|abbr=on|sigfig=1}} CAPE was also significant, especially for a cold-core setup, reaching values of 200 J/kg. Within the warm sector of this feature, a pronounced dry slot allowed for relatively substantial destabilization, with mixed-layer CAPE increasing to 500–1,200 J/kg. Strong deep-layer shear and pronounced low-level directional shear as a result of backed surface winds contributed to enlarged bell-shaped hodographs, with dew points upwards of {{convert|60|F|C|abbr=on}}, resulting in an outbreak of tornadic supercells across western and central Illinois throughout the afternoon hours and extending into the evening,{{cite web |url = https://davieswx.blogspot.com/2018/12/a-december-cold-core-tornado-outbreak.html |title = A December (!) cold-core tornado outbreak in Illinois: 12/1/18 |last = Davies |first = Jon |author-link = Jon Davies |date = December 7, 2018 |website = Jon Davies Severe Weather Notes |access-date = 2018-12-21 }} even though the SPC had only issued a slight risk and 5% tornado forecast for the region.{{cite web|title=Dec 1, 2018 0600 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook|url=https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2018/day1otlk_20181201_1200.html|publisher=Storm Prediction Center|date=December 1, 2018|accessdate=December 5, 2018}} Numerous tornadoes were reported in Illinois, most of which occurred as a result two long-tracked, cyclic supercell thunderstorms. This included an EF3 wedge tornado that caused major damage throughout portions of Taylorville, Illinois, injuring 22 people. At 5:15 PM, a tornado emergency was issued for Central Christian County. A total of 406 homes in Taylorville sustained some form of damage; 66 homes suffered major damage; and 34 homes experienced severe damage or total destruction. An EF1 tornado caused moderate damage in Beardstown, while EF2 tornadoes ripped roofs off of homes near Litchfield and Le Roy. Another EF2 touched down in Stoningon, snapping trees and power poles, and destroying garages before leveling several barns outside of town. Producing 29 tornadoes in the state, this was the largest December tornado outbreak in Illinois history.{{cite web|type=Report|agency=National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Lincoln, Illinois|title=NWS Damage Survey for 12/01/18 Tornado Event Report #2|url=https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSILX&e=201812030223|publisher=Iowa Environmental Mesonet|date=December 2, 2018|accessdate=December 3, 2018}} Further south, a secondary area of severe weather produced two EF0 tornadoes in Alabama.{{Cite web|url=https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2018/day1otlk_20181201_2000.html|title = Storm Prediction Center Dec 1, 2018 2000 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook}}

A few isolated tornadoes continued to touch down across the Southern United States on December 2. This included strong EF3 tornado that struck the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Camden County, Georgia, tossing heavy objects and injuring four people.
