ALT NOAA Storm Prediction Center map showing the Severe Weather Outlook for Tuesday, June 16, 2026. Two Slight Risk (yellow) areas are highlighted: one centered near Des Moines, Iowa, and another spanning Chicago into northern Indiana near Indianapolis, indicating the greatest potential for severe thunderstorms. Surrounding these are broader Marginal Risk (dark green) areas extending across parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, and a corridor from the Texas Panhandle through Oklahoma and Kansas into the Dakotas. General thunderstorms (light green) cover a much larger area from the northern Rockies and Plains eastward into the Great Lakes, Northeast, and parts of the Southeast. Main threats include damaging winds, hail, and isolated severe storms, with the highest concern focused on Iowa and the Chicago–Indiana corridor.
