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]
