In 2024, when every state in the contiguous U.S. experienced a tornado except for Nevada, Vermont and Maine. (Credit: Dan Ross/Adobe Stock)The United States experienced the second-highest number of tornadoes recorded in a single year in 2024 with 1,855 confirmed twisters, and 2025 looks to be another active year. With the arrival of Spring comes a kick-up of severe weather activity, and Accuweather predicts that areas outside of the traditional tornado alley may continue to take the brunt of these brutal storms.
They attribute this shift in tornado alley to high pressure centered in the Southwest that could limit thunderstorms in the Plains. This, combined with unusually warm Gulf waters, has the potential to drive severe storms and tornadoes in the Mississippi Valley.
