There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF NORTHEAST NEBRASKA...SOUTHEASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...NORTHWEST IOWA AND SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA SUMMARY Severe storms capable of hail/wind may occur across the Middle Missouri Valley/Siouxland later this afternoon into evening, with isolated severe storms also possible this afternoon/early evening across other parts of the central and southern Plains and Southeast. 20z Update No major changes were made to the prior outlook. Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms, with a few supercells, appear probable across parts of the central High plains/Midwest late this afternoon into this evening. Moderate buoyancy and 35-40 kt of effective shear associated with west-northwesterly flow aloft could support supercells capable of large hail in the presence of steep lapse rates. Elsewhere, moderate to strong buoyancy and weak shear will predominate. Scattered thunderstorms over much of the Southeast and North/central TX will be capable of sporadic damaging gusts with downbursts. 5% wind probabilities were expanded slightly over parts of north TX where some convective clustering may occur along a prior outflow boundary and ahead of a weak MCV. Otherwise, see the previous discussion for more information.
