Tornadoes Possible Wednesday Near Denver Colorado Springs and Milwaukee as Level 1 Tornado Likelihood Outlook Highlights Two Separate Risk Areas

DENVER, CO — Two separate areas of tornado potential have been identified across the United States for Wednesday June 24, with the Storm Prediction Center’s Day 2 outlook placing a Level 1 tornado likelihood covering the Denver and Colorado Springs corridor in Colorado and a separate zone near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the most likely locations in the country to see tornado activity Wednesday.

Two Distinct Tornado Risk Areas Identified

The tornado likelihood map, updated at 5:05 AM ET Tuesday, highlights two geographically separate risk zones for Wednesday. The larger of the two zones covers a broad area of Colorado centered around Denver and Colorado Springs, extending into portions of neighboring states along the eastern Plains. The second, smaller zone sits over the Milwaukee area in Wisconsin, reflecting a separate storm setup capable of producing brief tornado activity across that part of the Upper Midwest.

While a Level 1 designation indicates tornado activity is possible rather than likely, it does identify these two corridors as the highest-risk locations in the country for tornado development on Wednesday.

Colorado Front Range Among the Primary Targets

The Denver and Colorado Springs area sits squarely within the larger of the two highlighted tornado risk zones, making the Colorado Front Range one of the primary areas to watch Wednesday afternoon and evening. Tornado development along the Front Range is not uncommon during the summer months when afternoon heating and favorable wind shear combine to support rotating thunderstorm development.

Residents across the Denver metro area and surrounding communities are encouraged to remain weather aware through Wednesday afternoon and evening as storm activity develops.

Milwaukee Area Faces Separate Tornado Chance

A separate and smaller tornado risk zone is outlined over the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, reflecting a distinct weather system capable of supporting brief tornado development across that part of the Great Lakes region Wednesday. While the risk remains at the lowest level of the tornado likelihood scale, the designation is enough for residents in and around Milwaukee to monitor local forecasts closely through the day.

Rest of the Nation Remains Tornado Free

Outside of these two highlighted zones, tornado potential across the rest of the United States appears minimal for Wednesday, with no other areas currently flagged in the Day 2 outlook for tornado activity.
