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 SOUTHEAST...AND IN THE VICINITY OF NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN UTAH SUMMARY Thunderstorms with isolated severe wind gusts are possible today across parts of the Southeast, and in the vicinity of north-central and northeastern Utah. Southeast At the surface, a cold front will advance southward into the Southeast today. The position of the front by afternoon will be from the northern Gulf Coast States into southern Appalachians. Warming surface temperatures and increasing low-level convergence near and ahead of the boundary will result in scattered thunderstorm development this afternoon. Surface dewpoints across the moist airmass will mostly range from the mid 60s to mid 70s F. This will aid destabilization, with MLCAPE expected to peak in the 1500 to 2500 J/kg in most areas ahead of the front. Although deep-layer shear will be limited, the thermodynamic environment will be able to support isolated severe wind gusts with convection that develops within the strongest localized instability. North-central and Northeastern Utah/Far Southwest Wyoming A mid-level trough and low pressure center will move northeastward across the Intermountain West today. Ahead of the system, a surface low will deepen across western Utah. To the east and northeast of the low, surface dewpoints will range from the mid 40s to mid 50s F. This will be enough for the development of weak instability by afternoon. MLCAPE is forecast to increase to around 1000 J/kg over much of north-central and northeast Utah, as a cold pocket associated with the approaching upper-level low begins to affect the area. The Salt Lake City RAP forecast sounding at 21Z has 0-6 km shear near 40 knots with steep low to mid-level lapse rates in the 7 to 8 C/km range. This should support an isolated potential for supercells. Hail and isolated severe gusts would be the primary threats.
