| 03:35Z | EF0 | KLOT | IL | Kendall | Newark | This tornado began just west of Stephens Road north of US Rt. 52 and tracked east-southeastward toward the town of Lisbon. The most significant damage occurred as the tornado initially developed and tracked along and just north of US Route 52 west of Roods Road. Damage consistent with high-end EF-0 winds occurred with this narrow tornado, including large downed trees, and a few residences sustaining removal of roofing materials and damage to farm silos. Insulation material was found plastered on the east side of a pole barn on Stephens Road, and a broken window and siding damage was seen on the north side of Duane's Motel. The tornado crossed US Route 52, causing intermittent minor damage to trees as it moved toward Lisbon. The tornado appeared to lift in a field just east of Lisbon. |
| 03:44Z | EF0 | KLOT | IL | Kendall | Lisbon | A brief EF-0 tornado touched down in corn fields just east of Highway 47 and north of Whitewillow Rd east of Lisbon. It was on the ground for only a short time before lifting at Whitewillow Rd and Ashley Rd. Damage was confined to crops and a few trees which had large limbs broken off. High resolution satellite data showed a clear path in a corn field that corresponded to damage seen during an in-person damage survey, east of a tornado that lifted to the west. A gap in damage was noted between the tornado to the west and this tornado, giving confidence there were two separate tornadoes. |
| 03:52Z | EF1 | KLOT | IL | Kendall | Minooka | This tornado touched down in a subdivision just east of Hare Rd and tracked east crossing Wildy Rd just prior to moving into western Will County. After crossing into Will County, the tornado produced a concentrated region of tree damage at a single homestead consistent with high-end EF-0 winds. The tornado then proceeded northeastward and intensified as it crossed the DuPage River at River Crossing Park, where numerous large trees were snapped and some structural damage to houses occurred consistent with winds near 95 mph. The tornado crossed I-55 just north of exit 251 and continued into the west side of Joliet to produce sporadic tree damage on the far north end of Joliet Junior College. It then moved across the Inwood Soccer Complex and lifted near McDonough Street and Joyce Road. |

| 03:59Z | EF0 | KLOT | IL | Will | Lorenzo | This tornado occurred entirely within the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington. It dropped just north of where Boathouse FS Rd crosses Prairie Creek and traversed eastward across the Prairie, crossing IL Rt. 53 in the process. Numerous instances of tree damage were noted, including several oak trees whose tops had been snapped. The storm dissipated on the east side of the Prairie shortly before a second tornado dropped near the park's eastern periphery. |
| 04:07Z | EF0 | KLOT | IL | Will | Symerton | To the east of the tornado that lifted over Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, a second tornado began near South Warner Bridge Road between Wilton Center and West Doyle Roads. Here, several trees were uprooted and numerous large limbs were downed. One tree fell onto a residence, resulting in roof damage. Shingle loss and damage to gutters, siding, fascia, and soffit were all consistent with high-end EF-0 winds near 85 mph. The tornado tracked nearly due east to the north of West Arsenal Road, causing intermittent minor damage to corn and trees. The tornado moved southeast and crossed West Arsenal Road just west of US Route 52. At this point, the tornado was likely less than 15 yards wide with winds around 60 mph. It continued eastward, crossing north of West Joliet Road near Laughton Preserve. The tornado appeared to have continued east a few more miles before dissipating in a field just west of US Route 45. |
| 04:19Z | EF0 | KLOT | IL | Kankakee | Limestone | This tornado began in the area of the River Bend neighborhood south of Route 113 and west of Kankakee, where multiple trees were uprooted or had large limbs snapped. The tornado appeared to cross Route 113 near the First Baptist Church and produced concentrated tree damage along Springview Drive. It then moved east into Bradley and Kankakee, where sporadic tree damage was observed into the Pioneer Park area. The tree damage again became more significant as the tornado moved toward Hammes Avenue, especially north of Spruce Street, where numerous trees were uprooted or had limbs snapped. In the area beyond this point to the east of I-57, there was no additional damage observed, but that area is much less developed compared to areas west of the interstate. Along this entire route, little to no structural damage was observed, though the Valspar facility along Fair Street had a partial collapse of one wall. The storm lifted just after crossing I-57 near Green Street. South of the track, sporadic straight-line wind damage was observed. |
| 04:22Z | EFU | KLOT | IL | Will | Peotone | Drone footage and high resolution satellite data revealed that a tornado touched down near north of E 12000N Road just east of S Rathje Road south of Peotone and lifted in a field between S Drecksler Road and S Ridgeland Avenue. This tornado was on the ground for less than 2 minutes and was around 15 yards wide. The only damage noted was to crops, namely soybeans. |
| 04:30Z | EF1 | KLOT | IL | Kankakee | Sun River Terrace | This tornado began just west of 8000 East Road at 2500 North Road west of Momence, based upon drone imagery provided by the Kankakee County Emergency Management Agency. The tornado produced EF-0 damage to a farm near the aforementioned intersection with damage to tree branches and part of a metal outbuilding roof damaged. The tornado continued east just south of 2500 North Road with a narrow, convergent path evident in a corn field from drone imagery. The tornado's intensity briefly weakened in the immediate vicinity of the Kankakee River with only limited tree damage noted. Just east of River South Road, the tornado again intensified as it moved through fields toward IL-17. Drone footage again indicated a narrow path of convergent damage in corn fields until the tornado moved into the backyards of a few residences on River South Road, causing significant damage to multiple trees. As the tornado moved east, drone footage revealed additional corn flattened in the field southwest of the Van Drunen Farms building. The tornado then struck a row of two-story apartment homes on Harvard Street, removing the roof and a portion of the upper-level walls from one of them and depositing the debris over the next couple of blocks to the east. Damage to the adjacent apartment homes was very minor. East of Harvard Street, there was little to no additional structural damage, but there was considerable damage to trees and power lines, especially along Indiana Street. East of Momence, the tornado continued along Route 114. Just west of N 13250E Road, it removed part of the roof of a metal outbuilding while snapping and uprooting additional trees. Little to no additional tornado damage was observed east of the intersection of Route 114 and N 13250E Road. |
| 04:49Z | EF0 | KLOT | IN | Newton | Morocco | Based upon drone imagery provided by the Newton County Emergency Management Agency, this tornado touched down in a field north of 400S Road at 500W Road west of Morocco. The tornado tracked to the east-southeast over mainly rural areas, damaging a few trees. This tornado left a narrow, convergent path of flattened corn over most of its track. |
| 04:54Z | EF0 | KLOT | IN | Newton | Beaver City | Based upon drone imagery provided by the Newton County Emergency Management Agency, this tornado touched down in a field northwest of 500S Road at 125W Road southeast of Morocco. The tornado tracked to the southeast over mainly rural areas, destroying a grain bin and damaging a few trees. The grain bin appeared empty but was anchored to the foundation; only a few anchors remained attached to foundation. This tornado left a narrow, convergent path of flattened corn over most of its track. |
| 06:19Z | EF0 | KIWX | IN | Cass | Walton | The majority of the damage was to beans and corn extending from west of S CR 900 E to north of SR 218 to near the intersection of E CR 700 S and S CR 500 W. A small area of tree damage was found at a property on S CR 900 E in the path of the crop damage. The Grissom ARB recorded a 74 mph wind gust immediately after the dissipation of the tornado from RFD winds. |
| 06:26Z | EF0 | KIWX | IN | Whitley | Collins | Ground and storm spotter assisted drone surveys revealed a tornado touched down just west of the Eel River Golf course in Whitley county and tracked rapidly east-southeast crossing US 33 in Allen county before dissipating in a corn field west of Chase Road. Trees were damaged on the golf course and along the Whitley/Allen county line (County Line Road) where newly placed metal power poles were pushed over slightly. This tornado intensified further as it reached the Hildebrand/Frazier intersection with numerous trees down and a home sustained minor roof and siding damage. The tornado continued through crop fields before downing a number of tree limbs, topping trees, and even snapping trees at ground-level at a residence. The home sustained damage from fallen trees and limbs. The tornado was on the ground for approximately 2.7 miles (around 0.6 miles in Whitley county and just over two miles in Allen County). |

| 06:53Z | EF1 | KIWX | OH | Defiance | Hicksville | A ground and drone servey revelaed a tornado touched down at a property west of Casebeer Miller Road and north of Buckskin Raod, and tracked quickly to the northeast, crossing about a third of a mile north of Buckskin Road before dissipating in an area of trees. Several trees were snapped or uprooted, with three barns suffering minor to major damage as well as one home suffering damage to a roof and pool deck. Maximum wind speeds are estimated up to 90 mph. |
| 08:58Z | EF1 | KCLE | OH | Crawford | North Robinson | This tornado began along Parcher Road, just north of County Route 13, where the tornado caused significant damage to a barn on the east side of Bucyrus. As the tornado traveled east-southeastward, it uprooted and snapped numerous trees. Twelve homes sustained moderate damage and one home was destroyed by downed trees and the tornado itself. The tornado also damaged three silos at Sunrise Cooperative, Inc. before ending very soon thereafter on the west side of Crestline. This tornado had peak intensity of EF1 with estimated peak winds of 105 mph. |
| 11:53Z | EF1 | KUEX | NE | Clay | Sutton | A brief tornado developed within a long-lived line of thunderstorms just prior to 7 AM CDT on July 29th. This tornado moved from northwest to southeast across the town of Sutton. The first visible damage occurred as the tornado developed on the northwest edge of Sutton. Tree damage was the most obvious damage in this area, with several large branches snapped. Some small outbuildings were also overturned and damaged, along with minor damage to homes, including windows, doors and siding. Roofing damage was limited in the early portions of the path. Most notable damage occurred in the downtown area of Sutton, where a steel roof was peeled off of a downtown building and lofted about one block to the south. There was also damage to brickwork on buildings, presumably as this roof was dragged across the top of adjacent buildings. This is where the estimated peak wind speeds of 110 MPH occurred. The tornado then continued southeast, snapping several trees across the southeast half of town. An old garage was also swept off of its foundation and blown into a nearby home and garage, causing significant damage to those buildings. Finally the tornado passed onto the golf course on the southeast edge of town. A maintenance building was severely damaged and several healthy trees were snapped. From here, the tornado passed into a corn field, producing a small path of crop damage. The tornado appeared to have lifted less than one-half mile southeast of Sutton. |
