Storm Prediction Center tornado outlook map showing tornado probabilities from south Texas through the lower Mississippi Valley and north into the Ohio Valley. Higher probabilities are focused over south Texas and parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, with a broader lower-probability area extending along the same southwest-to-northeast corridor.
Storm Prediction Center damaging wind outlook map highlighting a corridor from south Texas through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and into Ohio. The highest wind probabilities are centered over south Texas, with lower probabilities extending northeast across the Midwest and Ohio Valley.
Storm Prediction Center hail outlook map showing a broad hail risk from south Texas through Oklahoma and the Mississippi Valley into the Midwest and Ohio Valley. The greatest hail probabilities are centered over south Texas and parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, with lower probabilities extending across surrounding areas.
The environment in the Upper Midwest will conditionally support strong to intense tornadoes. Very-large hail (2+ inches) will be possible within the Midwest with greater potential in the southern Plains. Damaging winds are possible in all areas. Visit weather.gov for more.
