The National Weather Service (NWS) issued 1,728 tornado warnings across the United States from March to May, with several of these being upgraded to Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Warnings if confirmed to be large and actively damaging structures. An even smaller subset was upgraded further from PDS to Tornado Emergencies if the tornado was confirmed to be large and was directly threatening a larger population center. As a result, millions of Americans were impacted by tornado warnings during the Spring of 2024, with the vast majority of counties in the country's midsection seeing a warning at least once during the three-month period. Compared to average spring severe weather seasons, the Southeast United States saw a less active season, while the Great Plains and Midwest saw a more active season.

As a result, millions of Americans were impacted by tornado warnings during the Spring of 2024, with the vast majority of counties in the Midwest, Southeast, and Southern Great Plains seeing a warning at least once during the three-month period. Compared to average spring severe weather seasons, the Southeast United States saw a less active season, while the Great Plains and Midwest saw a more active season.

Intense tornadoes are defined as those that receive an EF-3 rating or higher. From March through May of 2024, there were a total of 31 intense tornadoes (Table 2). About half of these intense tornadoes inflicted fatalities, and the majority of them caused injuries. The combined damage paths of these tornadoes exceeded an astounding 630 miles throughout several locations in America’s midsection.

### Datasets Utilized
The far-reaching impacts of the Spring 2024 tornado season can be seen in analyzing several dataset types, from satellite remote sensing to ground-based observations and even post-storm damage survey data.

[**NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit**](https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/dashboard/data-catalog/tornadoes-2024-tracks)

The NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT) is a geographic information system (GIS)-hosted dataset where post-storm damage survey results are uploaded and referenced to the location where each description of damage occurred. This dataset includes center lines of all tornado tracks, polygons that break down the EF rating at each point along the path, descriptions of the damage at each entry point, and ground damage pictures of the damage at most entry points.
