The Storm Prediction Center’s latest Day 1 convective outlook shows no delineated tornado risk areas for September 19, with only a slight risk of severe storms focused on parts of the central Plains. Moderate instability ahead of a cold front, combined with steep low-level lapse rates and adequate shear, favors scattered thunderstorms capable of damaging winds and large hail, especially near Wichita and Topeka, Kansas, but the environment lacks the strong low-level shear and moisture profiles typically required for significant tornadoes. Short-lived supercells remain possible, yet model consensus and current observations keep tornado probabilities low. Updated SPC outlooks and any new mesoscale discussions will be the key near-term data releases that could shift market-implied odds.

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 Day 1 Convective Outlook has not been published by the time the market closes, this market will resolve to "No".
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.
