The Storm Prediction Center’s latest Day 1 convective outlook indicates no organized tornado risk areas across the contiguous United States for August 29, with only isolated severe thunderstorm potential focused on strong winds and hail in the northern Great Basin and Rockies amid modest instability and limited shear. A marginal severe risk extends into portions of the northern Plains, where weak forcing and modest mid-level lapse rates around 6.5–7 °C/km suppress supercell development and tornadogenesis. Trader sentiment likely reflects this low-probability environment, tempered by the conditional chance of brief rotation along any outflow boundaries or in areas of locally enhanced low-level shear. Updated SPC Day 1 and Day 2 outlooks, along with 00Z and 12Z model runs from NOAA, will provide the next key data points for assessing any shifts in the Upper Mississippi Valley warm-front setup expected Sunday.

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.
