A large and significant tornado outbreak occurred across the Central United States from May 6–10, 2024, as a result of a slow-moving trough that was moving across the country. Several tornadoes were reported across the region, particularly in Oklahoma. A damaging tornado struck the towns of Barnsdall and Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Three fatalities directly linked to the tornadoes have been confirmed so far. Severe and tornadic weather spread eastward over the Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Valleys over the next two days. Tornado emergencies were issued for three consecutive days between May 6–8; the last time that had occurred was exactly 21 years prior, where tornado emergencies were issued for four consecutive days between May 6–9, 2003.
