This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States during November 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. These tornadoes are most 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.[1][2]
A weak tornado was observed over open fields near Oil Center, causing no known damage.[3] This is the first tornado ever documented in New Mexico in the month of November.[4][improper synthesis?]
A photogenic, highly-visible elephant-trunk tornado traveled slowly over open terrain, causing no damage. It was documented by numerous storm chasers.[3]
The roof of an outbuilding was lifted, trees were uprooted, a storage shed had its roof tossed and more roof damage occurred to a church and a home. Some large tree branches were snapped as well.[7]
A tornado initially damaged a few trees, rolled a camper and ripped an awning off a house. A meat market was then struck, injuring three people. A cinder block wall fell over and the market lost a quarter of its roofing. An old barn behind the market was damaged. Minor tree and power pole damage continued for a short bit afterwards before the tornado lifted.[9]
A garage was destroyed and a mobile home was shifted off its foundation and part of a roof of a home was removed. Another old frame home was completely destroyed.[10]
