This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States for January and February 2023. Based on the 1991–2020 average, about 39 tornadoes are typically recorded across the United States during January and about 36 tornadoes are recorded in February. These tornadoes are commonly focused across the Southern United States due to their proximity to the unstable airmass and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as California in association with winter storms.
In January 2023, 130 tornadoes were confirmed across the United States, the third highest count on record in that month behind 1999 and 2017. It likewise featured the third most tornado watches on record, at 25. A total of 793 severe weather reports were received by the Storm Prediction Center, which is more than double the 10-year average of 348 reports. Five days featured a level 3/Enhanced risk of severe weather, the most in a January since the implementation of that risk category in 2014. Well above average activity was likely enhanced by the ongoing La Niña. Although the brunt of the tornadic activity was concentrated across the Southern United States, particularly in Alabama which saw its highest number of January tornadoes on record, Iowa saw its first January tornadoes since 1967, and Illinois recorded its highest number of January tornadoes in a single day in 34 years.
February did not see as many tornadoes, but was still above average with 56 tornadoes, making it the 10th most of active February on record. Most of the tornadoes touched down in a moderate outbreak at the end of the month; the outbreak produced 12 tornadoes in Oklahoma, setting the record for the most tornadoes ever recorded in Oklahoma during the month.

A rooftop observation structure was taken off of another home and thrown across the street, a field house and some fencing was damaged at Robert Brown Middle School, and many trees were snapped or uprooted in town.

Other nearby homes were damaged to a lesser degree, outbuildings were destroyed, a dock was thrown, and many trees were snapped or uprooted. The tornado then weakened significantly, causing only intermittent minor tree damage as it passed near Stewart and over SR 69 before re-intensifying as it entered the Talladega National Forest, where numerous trees were downed. After crossing into Tuscaloosa County, the tornado rapidly intensified to its peak intensity of high-end EF2, where a large swath of trees was completely mowed down, with most trees near the center of the path being snapped near the base. The tornado then weakened as it approached and then crossed US 82. Additional tree damage was observed and two homes suffered minor structural damage before the tornado dissipated. The path of the tornado moved over the entire track of an EF1 tornado that struck the same area on November 29, 2022, as well as an EF3 tornado that passed through the Talladega National Forest on March 25, 2021. | |||||||

| This large and strong tornado touched down as the long-tracked, deadly EF3 Old Kingston tornado was dissipating. It initially caused sporadic tree damage as it moved northeastward from near White Plains into Five Points, where a home sustained minor damage and trees were uprooted. Northeast of Five Points, the tornado widened and strengthened, snapping and uprooting a large swath of trees and causing roof damage to a house and some barns. It strengthened further near Standing Rock, where a mobile home was completely destroyed, other mobile homes were pushed off their foundations or suffered major damage, a few frame homes had roof damage, and large tree trunks were snapped. The tornado moved over West Point Lake along the state line into Georgia, where many additional large trees were snapped or uprooted and some homes suffered roof damage.
