List of United States tornadoes in May 2024
This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States in May 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 268 tornadoes occur in May.[1] Activity spreads northward and westward in May, with the maxima moving into the Midwest and the Great Plains as the springtime jet stream patterns tend to occur farther north (while the South begins to see decreasing activity), while the potential for tornadic activity also increases in the Northeastern United States.[2]
