Travelling E to W thru N AL, MS, AR, OK & TX in April/May
With our living in Florida, I don't have a feel for the springtime weather in "tornado alley". Is this path I should avoid during April/May? Our destination is western Colorado.

Here is a way I would go: up to I-10 across to I-49 up to Shreveport and I-20. Up US 69 to Sherman, TX and US 82 to US 287 to Amarillo. From Amarillo up to Clayton, NM and on to Raton and I-25 N. to Walsenburg and US 160 W to Durango.
Now, I note that you mention N. Alabama and my route is across S. Alabama. Not sure if this is a destination way point for you. Also you mention Oklahoma, and my route is more direct across north Texas.
One variation is to turn north at Mobile and come up through Mississippi to Jackson and I-20.
None of this may fit your plans, but I can assure you that I have driven and towed every mile from Pensacola to Durango.
Let me know if I can answer any questions about this route.
