List of United States tornadoes in January 2026

Last updated

This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States in January 2026. Tornado counts are considered preliminary until final publication in the database of the National Centers for Environmental Information. [1] Based on the 1991–2020 average, about 39 tornadoes are typically recorded across the United States during January. [2] These tornadoes are commonly focused across the Southern United States due to their proximity to the unstable air mass and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as California in association with winter storms in those three months.

The most notable impacts there included four chicken houses being struck, with roofing peeled off three of them. A nearby home sustained minor roof damage, a detached garage was damaged by a falling tree, and a shed was destroyed at another residence. Beyond this point, the damage became increasingly sparse, consisting mainly of additional pine tree damage, before the tornado dissipated just short of the Georgia state line. [5] [12]
