**SPC outlooks for September 5, 2026, show no tornado risk areas forecast across the contiguous U.S., with explicit statements that tornadoes are not expected.** The primary driver is modest deep-layer shear combined with poor mid-level lapse rates that favor damaging straight-line winds and isolated hail over organized rotation. A remnant mesoscale convective system and associated outflow are supporting scattered severe thunderstorms with 15–30% wind probabilities focused on the Carolinas and southern Virginia, where low-level lapse rates steepen and precipitable water exceeds 2 inches. Earlier marginal 2% tornado contours near the Ohio Valley were removed in updates as the environment evolved. Authoritative NWS/SPC guidance and local area forecast discussions confirm the dominant threat remains non-tornadic wind damage through evening, with any new data releases limited to hourly mesoscale discussions or updated Day 1 graphics.

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.
