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 A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN/CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF WEST/CENTRAL TEXAS INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND THE MIDWEST INTO THE GREAT LAKES SUMMARY Scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms are expected today and tonight from the southern Plains to the southern Great Lakes vicinity. All severe hazards are likely, including the risk for multiple strong to intense tornadoes, damaging winds, and very large hail. 20Z Update The majority of the forecast remains on track and is unchanged. Modest adjustments were made to the Enhanced risk in the southern Plains. Surface heating is increasing into more of the I-35 corridor as clouds continue to gradually erode from west to east. As mid-level ascent increases into the evening, there is potential for more organized linear structures to move into central Oklahoma and North Texas. Steep mid-level lapse rates sampled by observed soundings and TAMDAR data suggest severe winds would be a concern with these linear structures. Farther north and east, it appears probable that capping will lead to decreasing storm intensity. Additional details are found in the previous discussion. For additional short-term, mesoscale details see MCD 186 and 187.
