Closest strike: 22.11 miles Monitor Storms You are not at immediate risk, but frequently check WeatherBug to see if storms are moving towards you. Be aware that new storms can also form with little notice.

There is a Enhanced 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 AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND MID-ATLANTIC THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PORTIONS OF WESTERN TO CENTRAL MONTANA SUMMARY Severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the Ohio Valley and Lower Great Lakes into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this afternoon and evening. Damaging gusts will be the primary threat, but a few tornadoes are possible, including perhaps a strong tornado. 20z Update The previous forecast remains on track with only minor adjustments required based on recent convective trends. Lingering clouds and stratiform precipitation across northern NY and into VT/NH continues to limit confidence in the degree of destabilization that will occur through the remainder of the day. Latest high-res ensemble guidance has captured recent trends and depicts limited potential for intense convection through this evening. Severe wind/hail probabilities have been reduced to reflect the decreasing potential. For additional short-term forecast details across the lower Great Lakes see MCD #1650. Further west, the 5/15% wind probabilities have been expanded slightly eastward to account for trends in recent guidance that depict some threat for severe winds across central MT later tonight as thunderstorms begin to cluster. Given building buoyancy, strong shear across the region (per recent mesoanalysis estimates), and building cumulus within the terrain, environmental trends appear to support the eastward expansion. See MCD #1651 for additional short-term details.
