As of August 30, 2026, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 285 preliminary tornado reports in Illinois for 2026 — #1 in the nation. The most recent Illinois report was in Lee County on August 21, 2026. Preliminary reports come from trained spotters and local NWS offices and are later consolidated into official confirmed-tornado counts.
Tazewell County leads Illinois with 16 preliminary tornado reports in 2026, based on NOAA SPC local storm report data tracked on this page.
These are preliminary Local Storm Reports from NOAA's Storm Prediction Center, updated daily. The National Weather Service later surveys damage and issues official confirmed counts, which are typically lower because one tornado can generate multiple reports. This tracker is a public service of Allied Emergency Services and is not an official government product.
