This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States during November and December 2024. Tornado counts are considered preliminary until final publication in the database of the National Centers for Environmental Information. On average, there are 54 tornadoes in November and 28 tornadoes in December. These tornadoes are more likely in the southern states due to their proximity to the unstable airmass and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, with occasional incursions farther north into the Midwest, particularly in November.[1] [2]
November ended with a near-average amount of 56 tornadoes, with most of them occurring in an outbreak at the beginning of the month. Much of December was quiet and well below average before two outbreaks occurred in short succession at the end of the month. The second one produced at least 74 tornadoes, pushing the month to well above average.
