This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States from January to March 2025. Tornado counts are considered preliminary until final publication in the database of the National Centers for Environmental Information. Based on the 1991–2020 average, about 39 tornadoes are typically recorded across the United States during January, about 36 tornadoes are recorded in February, and about 80 tornadoes are recorded in March. 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. With the arrival of spring, activity begins to shift northward especially later in March.

After a small outbreak at the beginning of January, multiple arctic air intrusions impacted the eastern United States while California, especially the southern part of the state, did not experience many winter storms. The month finished well below average with only 16 tornadoes as a result. February saw a much more active weather pattern take shape across North America during the middle of the month, with winter storms bringing multiple rounds of severe weather outbreaks to the southern United States and producing a handful of significant tornadoes. February came out average with 39 tornadoes. A significant ramp-up in tornadic activity occurred in March, with a moderate outbreak early in the month followed by a very large, historic and deadly tornado outbreak in the middle of the month which pushed March well-above average. The outbreak also produced three EF4 tornadoes with two of them occurring in Arkansas on March 14. Moderate tornado outbreaks occurred throughout the rest of the month, which finished with 240 confirmed tornadoes, breaking the record set by March 2022 for the most active March since records began in 1950.
