Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF FLORIDA...AND FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO KANSAS SUMMARY Severe storms will be possible at least on an isolated basis across parts of the Florida Peninsula today, and potentially from southeast Kansas into parts of the Great Lakes late this afternoon and early evening. KS to WI A progressive shortwave trough is evident on morning water vapor imagery over MN. This feature will track across the Great Lakes region through the forecast period, with the associated surface cold front sagging into parts of the upper MS Valley. The air mass ahead of the front from WI into IL/MO/KS is initially quite dry with dewpoints only in the 30s/40s. However, strong southwesterly low-level winds will lead to slow moistening/destabilization of the pre-frontal air mass with a narrow corridor of MUCAPE around 500 J/kg expected by late afternoon. Thunderstorm coverage will likely be sparse and high-based. However, a few strong/severe storms may form - capable of hail and gusty winds into early evening. FL A moist and moderately unstable air mass remains in place over the FL Peninsula today. A well-defined shortwave trough over southern AL will track eastward today, resulting in sufficient large scale forcing for scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Low-level winds are veered, suggesting the most intense cells will be in vicinity of the east-coast sea-breeze. A few organized multicell or supercell storms are possible, posing a risk of damaging wind gusts and hail.

Pollen Index: 9.6 Pollen Level: medium-high Predominant Pollen: Maple, Ash and Willow. The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Wednesday will be higher than they were today 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.
