Tornadoes by decade in Colorado

All tornado reports against only the strong ones (F2 and above). Averages are per year over the years the federal record covers completely — 1952, 1976 and 1993 are each missing whole months in NOAA’s own files and are left out.

The 2020s are left out because the decade is not finished. Reports are counted per county, so one tornado crossing a county line can appear more than once.

Significant recent events in Colorado
