List of New Jersey tornadoes explained

There have been at least 182 confirmed tornadoes in the U.S. state of New Jersey since 1950. On average, there are three tornadoes each year in the state, although there have been as many seven on a single day, which occurred both in 1989 and 2023. They have occurred in every month but December and January. The state's most active year was 1989, with 19 confirmed tornadoes. Most tornadoes in New Jersey have been weak and short-lived. However, an F2 twister in 1958 crossed 48.5miles of the southern portion of the state, the longest tracked event on record. It touched down in Camden County and ended in Ocean County. Ranked in intensity using the Fujita scale or Enhanced Fujita scale, there have been five F3 or EF3 twisters in the state since 1950, most recently in 2021. There have been at least three deadly tornadoes on record in the state, resulting in a collective 7 fatalities. A tornado in 1835 hit New Brunswick, killing five people. On August 25, 1941, a tornado in Gloucester County killed a person. In 2003, a tornado in Burlington County flung a tree limb onto three cars, killing one person.

Climatology

Each year, three tornadoes on average touch down in New Jersey, most of them weak and short-lived. There were 19 confirmed tornadoes in 1989, the most in a year since the start of recordkeeping in the National Centers for Environmental Information. Several years, most recently in 2018, had no recorded tornadoes in the state. There is a possible undercount in unpopulated areas in South Jersey, including around the New Jersey Pine Barrens and in Salem and Cumberland counties.^[1]
