The latest NOAA Storm Prediction Center Day 1 convective outlook highlights a Slight risk of severe thunderstorms across the Northeast, with tornado probabilities reaching 5% in a localized area covering Binghamton, Ithaca, and Elmira, New York, plus adjacent Pennsylvania, and 2% across a broader zone including Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. This stems from a fast-moving mesoscale convective system interacting with a north-south surface boundary that locally enhances low-level shear amid 2000–3000+ J/kg MLCAPE and steep lapse rates. Damaging winds remain the dominant threat, while model uncertainty around morning convection and air-mass recovery limits confidence in widespread tornadogenesis. Traders should monitor subsequent SPC updates, mesoscale discussions, and any watches for shifts in the 25-mile probabilistic contours.

The SPC Day 1 Convective Outlook assigns tornado probability percentages (2%, 5%, 10%, etc.) to geographic areas across the US. If the city's coordinates fall inside any area rated 2% or higher, that city resolves "Yes". If a city is outside all tornado probability areas, or only within areas rated below 2%, that city resolves "No".
The SPC outlook is published as machine-readable geographic data (GeoJSON) at spc.noaa.gov. Each city's coordinates and the polygon boundaries are publicly verifiable. Borderline cases can be independently confirmed using the polygon data (excluding the hatched SIGN overlay, which is not a probability rating) and the city's listed coordinates. The point-in-polygon test is performed on unprojected WGS84 (EPSG:4326) coordinates, which is the native coordinate system of the SPC GeoJSON data.
Resolution is based on the scheduled 01:00 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook update issued on the following UTC calendar day. The SPC Day 1 outlook covers a 24-hour period from 12:00 UTC to 12:00 UTC the following day. Subsequent revisions published after that scheduled update will not be considered. If the SPC outlook is not published or is unavailable, the market remains open until data is available.
The resolution source for this market is the NOAA Storm Prediction Center at spc.noaa.gov.
This market uses coordinates 41.8781, -87.6298 for Chicago, IL.
