EF1 tornado, Paxton to Clarence, Illinois, June 11, 2026

Name: EF1 tornado, Paxton to Clarence, Illinois, June 11, 2026
Start: 2026-06-12T00:26:00.000Z
End: 2026-06-12T00:29:00.000Z
Location: Paxton to Clarence, Illinois

From Paxton to Clarence, this EF1 tornado ran 3.0 miles across Champaign and Ford counties on June 11, 2026, touching down at 7:26 PM CDT and reaching 150 yards wide. It killed nobody.

Preliminary. This is NWS ILX and NWS LOT's damage survey, filed in the Damage Assessment Toolkit as Ludlow Tornado. The rating, the path and the casualties are the survey's and can change while it is revised. The Storm Prediction Center compiles the official record of 2026 from these surveys and publishes it in the spring of 2027; this page moves to that tornado's permanent address when it does.

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 mphthis tornado
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.
Unrated
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 survey found

This tornado touched down about a third of a mile south of the Champaign and Ford County line, along County Road 2000. It peeled part of the roof off an outbuilding, and damaged some solar panels. It crossed the border about a quarter mile west of Ford County Road 2800E, causing significant damage at a farmstead. Here, the main residence lost part of its roof, an outbuilding was nearly destroyed, and a number of trees were snapped. It lifted a short time later, after crossing 2280E.

Written by NWS ILX and NWS LOT in the NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit. A survey is revised as better evidence arrives.

The damage survey

40 damage points were recorded along this path by NWS ILX and NWS LOT, in the Damage Assessment Toolkit the survey teams carry. The strongest indicator was rated EF1. The highest wind the damage implies is 100 mph.

Debris thrown east into field
Damage in tree line half mile to south
Small branches downed in grove of trees north of the road
7-8 inch diameter tree snapped near the base

What the Weather Service recorded

Severe thunderstorms moved across northern Illinois during the afternoon and evening of June 11th producing wind damage, localized flooding and several tornadoes.

A strong storm system interacted with a highly unstable and sheared environment to produce a significant severe weather outbreak across central Illinois during the late afternoon and evening of June 11th. Scattered supercell thunderstorms initially developed west of the I-55 corridor along a pre-frontal trough during the afternoon. One of these storms produced an EF-3 tornado that impacted portions of Woodford and Marshall counties and dropped tennis ball-sized hail (2.50 diameter). Additional cells rapidly developed further west across southeastern Iowa into northern Missouri ahead of an advancing cold front. These storms congealed into a line and pushed eastward into central Illinois during the evening. Widespread damaging wind gusts of 60-70mph occurred with the line along and north of the I-72 corridor. After storm surveys were completed, it was discovered an additional 8 tornadoes were embedded within the line...creating pockets of enhanced damage.

A tornado with estimated peak winds of 90 mph touched down in a field northwest of the intersection of N 1800E Road and E 500N Road. Significant damage occurred to a garage and barn just west of N 1800E Road with debris blown into an adjacent field and wooden boards impaled into the ground. The tornado crossed Interstate 57 where two semi trucks were rolled over. Tree damage also occurred in this area. The tornado crossed into Iroquois County just west of Route 45.

A tornado touched down along County Road 2000 East just south of the Champaign-Ford County line about 2 miles east-northeast of Ludlow at 7:26pm CDT. The tornado tracked east-northeastward, peeling part of the roof off an outbuilding and damaging some solar panels before crossing into the National Weather Service Chicago County Warning Area (CWA) in southeastern Ford County about one quarter mile west of Ford County North 2800 East Road at 7:28pm CDT.

A tornado with estimated peak winds of 100 mph touched down in Champaign County and crossed into Ford County just east of County Road 2200. The tornado caused significant damage at a farmstead where the main residence lost part of its roof, an outbuilding was nearly destroyed and a number of trees were snapped. The tornado continued northeast and ended just northeast of N 2280E Road.

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 11, 6:54 PM CDT, 32 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

A line of severe thunderstorms is forecast to produce damaging winds and several embedded tornadoes across central Illinois this evening (risk level 4 of 5). The window for the most intense storms will be 4-10pm.
While the risk is lower (level 2 of 4), there could be some localized flooding with these storms as well, especially north of I-72 and west of I-57 where many locations received several inches of rainfall yesterday.
More showers and thunderstorms are likely (60-80% chance) Saturday night, with a level 1 of 5 (marginal) risk for severe weather and excessive rainfall.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 230 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

***** SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK THIS EVENING *****

At 230pm, temperatures and dewpoints across central and southeast
Illinois were in the mid-upper 80s and mid 70s, respectively amidst
southerly flow, evapotranspiration "ET" (mostly evaporation this
early in the growing season), and sunshine. RAP mesoanalysis
suggests this is contributing to MLCAPE values of 1000-3500 J/kg - a
sharp gradient across the area with higher values to the south.
Surface heating should continue to boost both temperatures and
instability and reduce convective inhibition (CIN) throughout the
afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front, which will sweep the
area west-east during the mid to late evening hours. RAP/HRRR/NAM
suggest MLCAPE will peak around 4000-5000 J/kg with 35-45 kt deep
layer shear ahead of that front, which should provide sufficient
forcing to maintain the ongoing storms across west-central IL and
result in development further to the south. This highly volatile
convective environment should favor organized convection capable
initially of all severe hazards (tornadoes, large hail, and damaging
winds), with an increasing wind and quasilinear convective system
(QLCS) tornado threat as storms grow quickly upscale into bowing
lines. PWATs approaching 2 inches will favor precip loading,
especially in the taller cores which will feature melting hail,
while steep mid level lapse rates and wide CAPE profiles will
enhance potential for RIJ formation in bowing segments; this will
increase the risk for high-end (75+ mph) and long-duration (20+
minutes) straight-line winds which would result in swaths of
enhanced damage (trees down, shingle damage, power outages). SPC has
issued a level 4 of 5, "moderate," risk for severe weather, driven
by wind and tornadoes, which could be strong north of a Macomb to
Bloomington line. Winds ahead of these storms may gust up to 40 mph
from the south, as descending hydrometeors from anvils aid in
momentum transport from a 40-50 kt LLJ (strongest over northern IL).

***** LOW RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING *****

With some locations north of I-72 and west of I-57 having received
over 3 inches of rainfall yesterday (and multiple rounds of heavy
rainfall in days prior), there is concern that flash flooding could
occur with storms this afternoon and evening. This is especially
true with the ongoing training storms north of a roughly Macomb to
El Paso line. 3 hour FFG in some of these areas is under a half an
inch, and with various CAMs advertising 1 hour rain rates >1 inch it
makes sense there could be some issues, especially in urban and poor
drainage areas. A Flood Watch was issued for Cass to Dewitt, and
counties further north, in effect until 9pm.

***** LESS WARM AND MUGGY STARTING TONIGHT *****

Behind the cold front, conditions will turn much less humid and,
with some clearing, temperatures are forecast to fall into the mid
to upper 50s overnight west of roughly I-57. High temperatures
tomorrow should only climb into the low 80s, making it feel much
more pleasant heading into the weekend. Warm air advection (WAA)
will bring a slightly more humid airmass into the region tomorrow
night into Saturday ahead of another shortwave trough, but
convection to our southwest should limit the northward extent of
deep layer moisture - resulting in a low (albeit nonzero) risk for
severe weather and heavy rainfall Saturday/night in our neck of the
woods. Both SPC and WPC have us in marginal risks for each hazard.

Behind that second front, much cooler conditions return, with NBM
only giving a 15-30% chance high temperatures reach 75 degrees on
Sunday. Temperatures are slated to moderate gradually towards the
middle of next week, as southwest flow returns ahead of the next
upper level low pressure system.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 640 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

Strong to severe thunderstorms are currently moving through the
area. These storms are currently producing strong winds with
recorded gusts up to about 50 knots or potentially greater. A
tornado is also possible with this line of storms as it pushes
through the area. These storms are moving through quickly though
and will exit the area between 01z to 02z. Brief drops to MVFR
ceilings is expected in the storms and potentially for an hour
or so behind them as well. Visibility will drop to IFR levels
within the storm. The good news is that quiet conditions will
return in the wake of the departing thunderstorms. Winds will
remain out of the northwest before weakening this evening while
backing to out of the west. With calmer winds in place, there
could be isolated patches of fog or low stratus. However, the
probability of fog or low ceilings is low at a <=20% chance.
Have kept this potential omitted from all TAFs at this time but
trends will be monitored through the night. Otherwise, light
west/northwest winds are expected for the rest of the TAF period
as high pressure moves into the region.

What this means

Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. A survey can be revised, so the rating, the path and the casualties can all still change.
