The 2024 tornado season has been relatively active, but not in the typical locations in the early spring season. According to an article from The Weather Channel, most of the tornadoes have been seen across the U.S., rather than the southern states.

From February through much of April, most of the tornadoes have been reported in Ohio and Illinois. As of early last week, there were 43 twisters in Ohio with 40 in Illinois. Although the southern states have reported tornadoes in 2024, there were only 15 in Texas through Thursday, which is the state that reports the highest number on average for each season. In Idaho and Washington, there have been no reports of tornadoes so far this year.

However, there was a recent outbreak across the central U.S. last Friday and into the weekend. Devastating twisters were reported in Nebraska and Iowa with at least 80 tornadoes spotted from this strong storm system.
