OK we need more info, what will you be driving, how long do you want to take each way, what type of thing do you want to see.
Generally the southern route I-10->I-20->in CA then north on I-5 or US 101. Is doable any time of the year. There are any number of variations on that basic plan. Depends on what you want to see and if you want to drive thru CA with it's horrible roads and sky high fuel costs.
Your concern about tornadoes needs to take facts into consideration. Last year for example tornado activity was at a historic LOW. This year has been more active and that's known as weather and is unpredictable as you know. But historically there has been no increase in tornado activity and there may actually be a slight decrease. Next year? Only the Lord knows for sure.
Going east, you'll probably take I-80 or possibly I-90 most of the way. Again many other ways to do it. Trucks drive those routes year round and if there is a storm just motel it for a day or two. If you want to wait until storms are unlikely then you are talking about June. Or this year it may be July. Or after a warm winter it could be April or May. Again weather rules and we do not have a crystal weather ball on hand.
