EF0 tornado, Ipava, Illinois, June 11, 2026

This EF0 tornado ran 2.4 miles across Fulton County on June 11, 2026, touching down at 5:17 PM CDT and reaching 30 yards wide. It killed nobody.

Preliminary. This is NWS ILX's damage survey, filed in the Damage Assessment Toolkit as Ipava 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.

  1. EF065 to 85 mphthis tornado

    Light damage. Surface peeled off some roofs, gutters and siding damaged, branches broken, shallow-rooted trees pushed over.

  2. EF186 to 110 mph

    Moderate damage. Roofs badly stripped, mobile homes overturned or badly damaged, exterior doors lost, windows broken.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. EF4166 to 200 mph

    Devastating damage. Well-built houses leveled, structures with weak foundations moved some distance, cars thrown and large missiles generated.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

Drone photographs taken by a trained spotter show a tornado path began in a field approximately two miles southwest of Ipava, just north of the east-west oriented portion of north County Highway 12. Drone footage of the tornado showed it continued northeast, impacting a solar farm and tossing a few solar panels. It produced some crop damage in the fields and continued towards Ipava, crossing Bernadotte Street just south of west Main Street. Video shows a very weak tornado continued across Ipava, and there was no damage evident in the footage. The tornado dissipated on the northeast side of Ipava, near the intersection of Kinsey and Mechanic Street, prior to reaching the open field.

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

The damage survey

12 damage points were recorded along this path by NWS ILX, in the Damage Assessment Toolkit the survey teams carry. The strongest indicator was rated EFU. The highest wind the damage implies is 60 mph.

  • Storm chaser drone video shows a condensation funnel becoming evident in a field just east of N County Highway 12, near Lovers Lane. It was clearly to the west of the homestead that was located at the eastern edge of Lovers Lane.
  • Drone photo shows tornado swirl evident in field to the south of 1050 N Road and to the east of north County Highway 12. Another vantage point shows the tornado was positioned above halfway between 1050 N and the house located at the eastern edge of Lovers Lane.
  • Storm chaser drone footage shows very weak tornado passing over these houses, between Broadway and Mechanic St. No damage evident.
  • Drone video of tornado in progress shows VERY WEAK tornado continued east of Bernadotte St. No damage occurring despite moving over several trees and buildings. Circulation was diffuse prior to ever crossing Main St.

Survey points are preliminary and are the raw material the published rating was built from. Source: NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit.

What the Weather Service recorded

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 touched down southwest of the intersection of Lovers Lane and North County Highway 12 about 2 miles southwest of Ipava at 5:17pm CDT. Drone footage showed that the tornado initially touched down in a field, then tracked northeastward through a solar farm where it tossed a few solar panels. It then damaged crops as it headed toward Ipava and eventually crossed Bernadotte Street just south of West Main Street. Video showed a very weak tornado passing through Ipava: however, no damage was noted in the footage. The tornado dissipated on the northeast side of Ipava near the intersection of East Mechanic Street and North Kinsey Street at 5:22pm CDT.

From NOAA NCEI's Storm Events Database, the narrative the local forecast office wrote for Storm Data.

The forecast that day

The Storm Prediction Center had this point in a Moderate Risk, with a 0.15 chance of a tornado within 25 miles, in the hatched area where significant tornadoes were expected. The outlook in force was issued at 19:53 UTC.

SPC's Day 1 convective outlook as it stood when the tornado began, read at the touchdown point. The same archive is on the radar archive.

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, 2:32 PM CDT, 2 hours 45 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 /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1211 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

Scattered strong convection already developing across western
Illinois will continue to press eastward early this afternoon,
likely impacting KPIA very early this afternoon. Meanwhile,
gusty southwesterly winds are expected to continue ahead of an
advancing cold front that will cross into the western CWA by
00Z. More significant convection will hold off on developing for
another 1-2 hours, forming along a cold front. This convection
may congeal into a broken line by mid- late afternoon and push
southeast through the TAF sites by 02Z. Aviation interests
should be aware of the increased risks for both high winds but
also large hail as this activity passes southeast.

Will maintain a period of VCSH for an hour or two behind the
passage of the front, but anticipating quick improvement into
the late evening hours.

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.

Sources

NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit, the record the survey teams file from the damage, and NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports. Neither is the official database for 2026, which SPC publishes in the spring of 2027.
