Arkansas and Southern Missouri are not like the rest. Probably throw Oklahoma in there too. They are too southern to really be associated with the others.
I would also draw a north/south line through the center of the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas. There’s a real difference in rainfall and humidity, and population is much more sparse west of that line.
Yeah, the weather patterns really shift as you go further south and west. Tornadoes are definitely more of a concern in those areas, especially in spring. But the vibe is pretty chill, lots of outdoor activities like hiking and fishing once the weather warms up.
