Tornadoes count well below average, March 2014

For the second consecutive year, U.S. March tornado counts are among the lowest on record.

Primarily 21tornadoes touched down across the nation in March.

The lowest March U.S. tornado count on record dating to 1950 was six tornadoes in March 1951, according to The Weather Channel's severe weather expert Dr. Greg Forbees.

If this sounds familiar, March 2013 was the least tornadic March in 35 years, with only 18 tornadoes. 

March continues a slumbering tornado trend for the year. A preliminary 66 tornadoes have been tallied in 2014 as of April 1; this is just over one-third of the 10-year average-to-date of 186 tornadoes.
