Storm of The Year:
March 2025 was a very active month for severe thunderstorms. This was due to a few notable outbreaks in the Midwest, South, and East, including the major tornado outbreak of March 14-16.
Easter Sunday (April 20) brought supercells and a potent QLCS to Missouri and Illinois, leading to an outbreak of tornadoes.
The May 15-20, 2025 tornado outbreak sequence impacted most of the CONUS. May 18 resulted in a major tornado outbreak in the Plains, which featured the fog-hidden tornadic supercell responsible for multiple strong-to-violent tornadoes from Greensburg to Plevna, KS.
The Raytown/Independence tornadoes of June 3, 2025 prompted the first PDS tornado warning in the Kansas City metro area since 2019.
