Minnesota on Track for Above Above-Average Tornado Season
- Minnesota and other U.S. states experienced high tornado activity in 2025, including a May 16 St. Louis tornado that killed five and caused over $1 billion in damage.
- This active tornado season results from interacting weather systems with abundant instability and a warming Gulf of Mexico that extends severe weather into colder months.
- Forecasters noted 1,297 tornadoes reported by June 30, making 2025 the second-most active year since 2010, with fatalities at 68, near the average annual total.
- Kenny Blumenfeld said, "weather system after weather system" combined with instability maintains the active pattern, and Missouri broke its tornado report record with 117 this year.
- Experts warned that people must prepare for hazardous tornadoes which are spreading eastward and occurring outside the traditional season, driven in part by climate-induced changes.
