List of United States tornadoes from January to March 2024

This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States from January to March 2024. Tornado counts are considered preliminary until final publication in the database of the National Centers for Environmental Information. Based on the 1991–2020 average, about 39 tornadoes are typically recorded across the United States during January, about 36 tornadoes are recorded in February, and about 80 tornadoes are recorded in March. These tornadoes are commonly focused across the Southern United States due to their proximity to the unstable air mass and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as California in association with winter storms in those three months. With the arrival of spring, activity begins to shift northward especially later in March.

January saw near-average levels of tornado activity with 44 tornadoes, focused heavily on a single outbreak early in the month in the climatologically-favored Deep South. February had slightly above-average levels of tornado activity with 46 tornadoes. Many of those tornadoes occurred much further north than is typical for the month, in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions, including Wisconsin, which experienced tornadoes in February for the first time since modern record began in 1950. About half of the tornadoes during the month touched down during an outbreak at the end of the month. The amount of tornadic activity did not increase after the first two months of the year and March had well below-average activity with just 49 tornadoes. The bulk of the tornadoes that occurred during March came during a destructive outbreak in the middle of the month. Additionally, for the first time since 2018, no violent tornadoes occurred in the United States in March.
