Severe wind gusts and large hail are the primary hazards. Central High Plains The 15% wind/hail probability areas (and the corresponding Level 2/Slight Risk area) were shifted westward with this outlook update based on the latest HRRR/RRFS and time-lagged ensemble guidance that suggest greater storm coverage is more likely from the southern Nebraska Panhandle into northeastern Colorado, southwestern Nebraska, and northwestern Kansas. The eastern extent of these probabilities was also trimmed across portions of south-central Nebraska and north-central Kansas where recent guidance is more suggestive of lower storm coverage. Elsewhere, the forecast remains generally on track with only minor changes made to the existing outlook. See the discussion below and MCD 2127 for additional details.

Pollen Index: 9.4 Pollen Level: medium-high Predominant Pollen: Ragweed, Nettle and Chenopods. The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Wednesday will be on the increase and extend further into the very high range. Since the weather has a major influence on pollen dispersal, this increase is due in part to strong winds and decreasing humidity. The increase of this magnitude could make it more difficult for those with allergies.
