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 OVER PARTS OF IOWA AND OVER A SMALL PART OF CENTRAL INDIANA SUMMARY Severe storms producing hail remain possible from southern Kansas into northwest Oklahoma this evening. Isolated severe hail or wind will persist across the northern Plains and into Iowa by Wednesday morning. Isolated severe storms may persist from Indiana into western Ohio this evening. IN/OH/MI 00Z DTX and ILN soundings show modest instability but favorable shear profiles to sustain cellular storm mode this evening. However, storms across this region are beginning to decrease in coverage and intensity, though isolated strong to severe storms may persist with marginal hail or brief tornado risk before the upper trough moves out of the area and the air mass stabilizes. KS/OK/TX Panhandle A mixed boundary layer, increasing low-level jet and northwest flow aloft is aiding a few cells over southwest KS into northwest OK. Periodic large damaging hail remain possible, and a cell or two may persist this evening, perhaps toward the eastern TX Panhandle as moisture returns northwestward. However, the cooling boundary layer will eventually result in decreasing coverage. From MT to IA Scattered storms exist from MT into ND, beneath cool temperatures aloft with the developing upper trough. Locally severe gusts may occur with any of this activity as a relatively dry/mixed sub cloud layer exists on 00Z soundings. Later tonight, as the low-level jet increases into the central Plains, a plume of mid 60s F dewpoints will reach eastern NE into IA, and may fuel cells initially producing hail following a possible MCS.
