List of United States tornadoes from January to March 2020
This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States during January, February, and March 2020. Based on the 1991–2010 average, 35 tornadoes touch down in January, 29 touch down in February and 80 touch down in March.[1] These tornadoes are commonly focused across the Southern United States due to their proximity to the unstable airmass and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as California in association with winter storms.[2]

January featured an unusually large and destructive outbreak during the middle of month that produced 80 of the 88 tornadoes that touched down that month, which was significantly above average. Another sizeable outbreak occurred at the beginning of February and although there was no activity past February 13, the month finished well above average 42 tornadoes. March featured numerous small, but destructive outbreaks, including a very deadly one at the beginning of the month. The final tally for the month was a near average 83 tornadoes.
