There is a Marginal 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 MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE EASTERN CAROLINAS AND COASTAL MID-ATLANTIC SUMMARY Thunderstorms with isolated damaging winds may occur this afternoon across the eastern Carolinas and parts of the Mid-Atlantic region. Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic Within the base of a broad upper trough centered over eastern Canada and the Great Lakes, multiple subtle mid-level perturbations over the Midwest will develop east-northeastward across the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas today. Ongoing showers will accompany an east/southeastward-moving surface cold front, but some cloud breaks will allow for filtered pre-frontal heating, particularly across the coastal plain over the eastern Carolinas and far southeast VA. Up to 100-300 J/kg of MLCAPE should develop across the coastal Mid-Atlantic, with 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE possible over the eastern Carolinas where greater heating should occur. A broken line of low-topped thunderstorms will develop along/ahead of the cold front this afternoon as it moves east-southeastward. Modestly curved low-level hodographs and 25-35 kt of deep-layer shear should support clusters/bands of convection, with isolated damaging wind gusts possible where low-level lapse rates can become steepened. However, poor mid-level lapse rates and generally weak instability are expected to limit updraft strength and the overall severe threat. Upper Midwest While low-level moisture will remain quite meager, cold temperatures aloft and very weak MUCAPE may support a few lightning flashes late this afternoon and early evening across parts of southeast MN into northeast IA and southwest WI near a southeastward-moving front. Gusty winds may occur with this convection in the presence of a well-mixed boundary layer and strengthening northwesterly winds aloft. But with minimal instability forecast, the overall severe threat is expected to remain low.

Pollen Index: 10.3 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Oak, Birch and Cedar/Juniper. Based on past pollen counts and expected weather conditions, pollen levels for Monday will be higher than they were today and extend further into the very high range. This is likely to be caused in part by strong winds and decreasing humidity.
