The May 2024 Super Outbreak was an extremely deadly and prolific tornado outbreak sequence which impacted the Central United States between May 26 and June 1, 2024. The system was first "super outbreak" to occur in the Central United States, rather than the Midwest or the "Dixie Alley" region. The outbreak affected most of the Great Plains states, along with the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas. The storm complex produced a total of 612 tornadoes, including 32 EF4 and eight EF5 tornadoes. This broke the record the record for the greatest number of tornadoes and the greatest number of violent tornadoes produced in a continuous tornado outbreak sequence, although the greatest number of tornadoes spawned in the space of a year would occur in 2030.

| abstract
| - The May 2024 Super Outbreak was an extremely deadly and prolific tornado outbreak sequence which impacted the Central United States between May 26 and June 1, 2024. The system was first "super outbreak" to occur in the Central United States, rather than the Midwest or the "Dixie Alley" region. The outbreak affected most of the Great Plains states, along with the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas. The storm complex produced a total of 612 tornadoes, including 32 EF4 and eight EF5 tornadoes. This broke the record the record for the greatest number of tornadoes and the greatest number of violent tornadoes produced in a continuous tornado outbreak sequence, although the greatest number of tornadoes spawned in the space of a year would occur in 2030. One of the tornadoes produced in the outbreak would break the record for the longest duration of a single tornado and prove to be the deadliest in Oklahoma since 1947. Three other tornadoes would be responsible for more than 30 fatalities; eight would be responsible for more than 20. Another tornado produced in the outbreak broke the record for the longest path of any tornado in the Great Plains states since 1979. The system was overall responsible for 412 fatalities, 84 of which would be caused by the Canadian County, Oklahoma tornado. Most of the tornadic fatalities caused by the outbreak were the result of 25 individual tornadoes. The outbreak also broke the record for the costliest tornado outbreak in world history; its record would later be broken by the May-June, 2034 tornado outbreak sequence and the April 2039 tornado outbreak sequence. A smaller secondary system affected the Southeastern United States in the afternoon of May 31, while the Super Outbreak was near its peak roughly 450 miles to the west.
