Part of the tornado outbreaks of 2034

The Tornado outbreak of November 13, 2034 was a significant three-day tornado outbreak that affected portions of the north-central United States, particularly Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri. Numerous supercells developed as a powerful Late Season storm system interacted with warm, moisture-rich air from the Gulf of Mexico, producing 29 tornadoes, including several strong to violent tornadoes. The outbreak caused widespread damage to homes, businesses, farms, hospitals, and infrastructure while leaving hundreds of thousands of customers without electrical service across the region. Overall, the outbreak resulted in 17 fatalities, 68 injuries, that are currently known and approximately $60 million (2034 USD) in damage.

The outbreak began on Late on the 13th, when several supercells developed across central Nebraska and Northern Kansas. The most destructive tornado of the outbreak was a violent EF5 tornado that struck Falls city, Nebraska and Craig, Missouri, during the Night of the 13th. Reaching estimated peak winds of >200 mph (320 km/h), it became the first EF5 tornado in Nebraska since the 1964 Central Nebraska tornado and the first officially rated EF5 tornado in the United States since the 2025 Enderlin tornado. Other notable tornadoes included the long-track EF4 tornado that struck Auburn, Nebraska, and another EF4 tornado that struck Vermillion, Kansas before the outbreak Ended Before midnight on November 14,

Meteorological synopsis

Background

A deepening surface low moved northeastward across the central Plains while a strong mid- and upper-level trough advanced from the southern Rockies into the Great Plains. Ahead of the surface low, a strong southerly low-level jet transported unusually warm and moist air northward from the southern Plains into eastern Nebraska, western Iowa, eastern Kansas, and northern Missouri. Despite the calendar date, temperatures in the warm sector likely reached the upper 60s to mid-70s°F, with dew points generally in the upper 50s to mid-60s°F. A dryline/cold-front boundary extended southward from the surface low through Kansas and Oklahoma, while a warm front extended eastward/northeastward across the central Plains. Strong wind fields associated with the approaching upper trough produced substantial low-level and deep-layer wind shear across the warm sector. By early afternoon, thunderstorms began developing along and near the surface boundaries. Initial storms were relatively isolated, allowing them to take advantage of the increasingly unstable and strongly sheared environment. Several storms rapidly became supercells, producing large hail, damaging winds, and multiple tornadoes. Several particularly intense supercell tracked northeast toward Towns such as, Falls city, Auburn and Vermillion, where they produced violent tornadoes.
