-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 PORTIONS OF THE GREAT LAKES...CENTRAL PLAINS AND FLORIDA SUMMARY Severe storms remain possible across parts of the Florida Peninsula today, and potentially from southeast Kansas into parts of the Great Lakes late this afternoon and early evening. 20z Update Great Lakes Afternoon visible imagery shows the cold core of an upper-level trough beginning to impinging on modest low-level moisture south of a stalled front near the MI/WI border. While moisture and resulting buoyancy remain very limited (200-300 J/kg MUCAPE), steep mid-level lapse rates and continued heating should support enough destabilization for a few storms this afternoon and evening. Hail is possible, especially with any storms elevated above the surface given fairly strong mid-level flow. Have adjusted 5% hail probabilities northward toward the warm front across the MI/WI border. FL Numerous storms are ongoing this afternoon south of an east-west oriented baroclinic zone across the FL Peninsula. To the south, the environment remains moderately unstable and sheared, which has supported a few organized clusters and supercells so far. Hail, damaging winds, and a brief tornado remain possible with the strongest storms as the boundary is forecast to sag southward through tonight. Have removed severe probabilities and trimmed thunder behind the boundary where the air mass has stabilized. Otherwise, the prior outlooks remains valid with only minor adjustments. See the previous discussion for more information.
