This alert expired on 31 May 2026 at 00:50 UTC. It is kept here as a record.

It is the strongest of the 28 detections recorded within 20 km of this point since 15 March 2026. The last comparable one was on 17 May 2026. 2 more were recorded here in the fortnight before it.

How we know

One source: NOAA. Not yet confirmed by a second, independent source.

Our own score for this event is 46 out of 100, at 60 % confidence.

Computed under scoring rules v1. Rows carrying other versions were judged by different rules and are not directly comparable.

Safety Information

If a tornado warning is issued: go to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows. A vehicle and a mobile home are not shelter. Cover your head and neck. Wait for the official all-clear before going outside, and watch for downed power lines and gas leaks afterwards.

Series begins 8 March 2026. Comparisons refer to that period only. Collection gap: 14-26 August 2026.
