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 THROUGH TONIGHT FROM THE GULF COAST TO PARTS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC SUMMARY Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are expected through tonight from the Gulf coast into parts of the Mid-Atlantic. 20z update Storm coverage has been a bit more limited compared to earlier expectations for the OH Valley into the Appalachians, though widely scattered storms persist in an environment with relatively straight hodographs and weak-moderate buoyancy. Some tornado/wind threat persists with perhaps a locally greater threat for a couple of tornadoes in PA where storms interact with a diffuse north-south baroclinic zone. Otherwise, storm clusters/line segments are more concentrated across middle TN and extreme southeast TX. The TN storms will pose mainly a wind/marginal hail threat for the next few hours, while the southeast TX storms will spread eastward with some uptick in the wind/tornado threat overnight as the upstream midlevel trough begins to accelerate eastward. A separate/small area with some wind/hail threat will be associated with the midlevel cold core later this afternoon across interior southeast TX.

Pollen Index: 9 Pollen Level: medium-high Predominant Pollen: Cedar/Juniper, Ash and Oak The pollen levels for Wednesday will be falling but will remain in the high range. This forecast of lower pollen concentration is based on heavy rains in the evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air.
