The rating scale
Tracks are drawn in the color of the rating. The Enhanced Fujita scale rates the damage rather than measuring the wind: the speeds are what that damage is taken to imply.
EF065 to 85 mph
Light damage. Surface peeled off some roofs, gutters and siding damaged, branches broken, shallow-rooted trees pushed over.
EF186 to 110 mph
Moderate damage. Roofs badly stripped, mobile homes overturned or badly damaged, exterior doors lost, windows broken.
EF2111 to 135 mph
Considerable damage. Roofs torn off well-built houses, frame homes shifted on their foundations, mobile homes destroyed, large trees snapped or uprooted, cars lifted off the ground.
EF3136 to 165 mph
Severe damage. Whole stories of well-built houses destroyed, large buildings badly damaged, trains overturned, trees debarked, heavy cars lifted and thrown.
EF4166 to 200 mph
Devastating damage. Well-built houses leveled, structures with weak foundations moved some distance, cars thrown and large missiles generated.
EF5over 200 mph
Incredible damage. Strong frame houses swept off their foundations, car-sized missiles thrown more than 100 meters, steel-reinforced concrete badly damaged, high-rise buildings deformed.
Unratedthis tornado
The survey recorded a tornado but could not put a number on it, most often because it crossed open country and damaged nothing a rating can be read from.

What the Weather Service recorded
A mesoscale convective vortex, or MCV, moved into central Illinois late on the morning of Wednesday, June 18th. Moderate instability developed ahead of this feature, and as scattered storms formed they quickly obtained rotation due to shear from the MCV. A total of 14 tornadoes occurred within the NWS Central Illinois county warning area, mainly west of I-55. One minor injury occurred when winds associated with a tornado tossed a woman against her home in Morgan County. Across eastern Illinois, a line of storms developed during the afternoon, mainly producing wind damage before shifting east into Indiana. A wake low developed after the MCV passed, resulting in a short period of non-thunderstorm wind gusts, generally between 45 and 55 mph. The highest non-thunderstorm wind gust associated with the wake low was 58 mph.
Sentinel satellite data showed a narrow tornado touched down in a farm field north of Montezuma Road and east of county road 600E. It moved northeast for approximately one mile, producing crop damage. The tornado lifted before reaching Big Swan Road. No structures or tree damage was noted, so this tornado was assigned a rating of EF-U.
Sentinel satellite imagery revealed this tornado began between Old Route 36 and Walnut Creek, approximately a quarter mile west of the Scott-Morgan county line and 1.5 miles west of Lynnville in Morgan County. The tornado tracked northeast, passing into Morgan County just south of Old Route 36. Most of the damage associated with this tornado occurred in Morgan County, but some flattened crops were noted in Scott County.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before the tornado touched down, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the tornado touched down at Jun 18, 9:12 AM CDT, 2 hours 18 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- There is a risk for severe weather and flooding across all of central Illinois today between 10am and 5pm...with the greatest risk (level 3 of 5) focused along and southeast of a Bloomington to Taylorville line where all hazards (tornado, wind and hail) are possible.
- Hot and humid weather will develop by the end of the week. High temperatures are forecast to rise into the lower to middle 90s both Saturday and Sunday, resulting in peak heat index readings above 100 degrees.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 912 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - There is a risk for severe weather and flooding across all of central Illinois today between 10am and 5pm...with the greatest risk (level 3 of 5) focused along and southeast of a Bloomington to Taylorville line where all hazards (tornado, wind and hail) are possible. - Hot and humid weather will develop by the end of the week. High temperatures are forecast to rise into the lower to middle 90s both Saturday and Sunday, resulting in peak heat index readings above 100 degrees. && .UPDATE... Issued at 910 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025 All eyes are on a remnant MCV, which is evident in satellite imagery as a swirl lifting NE across central MO as of 14z/9am. This feature should lead to more widespread storm development by late morning/early afternoon, and the storm hazards/environmental conditions outlined in the previous discussion appear on track, as does the fact that the highest severe potential (level 3 of 5) is focused across eastern IL. One new forecast concern is the potential for strong gradient winds in the immediate wake of the MCV, with some CAMs such as the HRRR consistently showing wind gusts of at least 35-45 mph, and in some model runs depicting gusts of 60+ mph. This could necessity a short- fuse wind advisory (or perhaps even high wind warning) this afternoon (2-6 PM), but the duration of strong winds at any one location should be relatively short (two hours or less). Erwin && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 222 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025 Early morning radar trends reveal scattered showers and thunderstorms developing across central Illinois, as an increasing LLJ lifts overtop a warm front. This early morning activity is elevated in nature and poses little risk of becoming severe. Further upstream across the Ozarks, a mature MCS is pushing eastward ahead of a sfc cold front. Short-term model guidance remains in reasonable agreement in the evolution of the upstream MCS, with it decaying as it lifts northward toward the Mid- Mississippi Valley by sunrise. The risk for flooding and severe weather could emerge as early as late morning across west central Illinois, as both low- and mid- level flow increase ahead of a compact mid-level shortwave and its attendant sfc-low/decaying MCV. Strong convergence and frontogenesis along the northern periphery of the comma head may lend itself to a narrow band of heavy rainfall. The most recent suite of hi-res guidance all point to a narrow corridor of heavy QPF near or north of the Illinois River Valley, with HREF LPMM QPF offering anywhere between 1-4”. The placement of convective initiation remains somewhat more murky than the timing. Recent trends from the HRRR have shifted the sfc low a little further south of the Illinois River Valley, which would focus initiation more near the I-72 corridor. Timing has remained more consistent with initiation occurring between 16z-18z/11am-1pm. The CAPE/Shear profile will support discrete supercells at the onset with shear vectors somewhat perpendicular to the line of forcing. Hodographs will become more elongated by afternoon as both low- and mid-level jet cores veer in ahead of the cold front. The tornado potential will be greatest in the vicinity of the warm front, where backed sfc winds and enhanced 0-1 km SRH are supportive of STP values > 2. Low LCLs will also support an increased tornado threat in the vicinity of the warm front as it quickly lifts across central Illinois early this afternoon. Further south across the warm sector, the hodograph appears to straighten out, more suggestive of a large hail threat as supercells will have a tendency to want to split. But, with one or more convective outflows lurking ahead of the cold front, the sig tor threat cannot be discounted further south across the warm sector, either. Latest trends show the main convective threat exiting eastern Illinois by 21z/4pm as the main upper forcing departs toward the Great Lakes region. Still, showers and storms may linger along the decaying cold front before activity fades with the loss of daytime heating. A stretch of hot and humid weather begins to take shape by Friday as a 588-mb ridge builds across the Plains. NBM deterministic guidance suggests afternoon highs in the mid-to-upper 80s across the region. Temperatures are then forecast to quickly ratchet upward into the 90s by the weekend as the upper-level ridge amplifies (to 594 mb) with the emergence of a deep western trough. The daily heat index value is anticipated to surge between 100-105 F each day between Saturday and Tuesday as sfc dewpoints routinely hover in the low-to-mid 70s. The prolonged nature of the heat forecast could potentially prompt our first Extreme Heat Watch of the summer. Both blended (NBM) and ensemble (LREF) guidance currently exhibit very low (< 20%) rain chances each day from Friday to Monday. In this summertime airmass, it’s hard to imagine us not getting at least isolated shower and storm activity during peak diurnal heating. It would be more unusual that we didn’t. But, it’s not until Monday or Tuesday that mid-level capping and dry air entrainment erode enough to support the return of isolated shower/storm activity.

Issued at 910 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025 (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Thursday Morning) Issued at 603 AM CDT Wed Jun 18 2025 Scattered showers and VFR conditions will give way to more widespread thunderstorms this morning as a disturbance moves northeastward into the area. Have included prob30 groups for these thunderstorms, along with MVFR cigs/vsbys from around 14Z-20Z, however timing of this disturbance remains somewhat uncertain, and it could have lingering impacts past 20Z. Additional thunderstorm re- development will be possible shortly after this initial disturbance moves out of the area as a frontal boundary continues to progress eastward across the area. An additional prob30 group has been added to all terminals by 23z-01z. Additional concerns involve cig heights, which could lower to IFR at KDEC and KCMI beyond 05z.

What this means
Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. Tornado counts rise through the record as reporting improved, so a year in the 1950s is not comparable with one today except for the strongest tornadoes, which were always noticed.
