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 WEST AND NORTHWEST TEXAS...INTO SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA SUMMARY A few marginally severe storms may occur late tonight into Thursday morning from west and northwest Texas northeastward into Oklahoma. West and Northwest Texas/Oklahoma A low pressure center is evident on water vapor over northern Baja California. This feature, and its associated mid-level trough will move east-northeastward across northern Mexico this evening, and into the southern Plains late tonight. Ahead of the trough, low-level moisture will spread northward from north Texas into Oklahoma, with the western edge of the moist airmass located from southwest Oklahoma southward into west-central Texas. Weak instability is expected to develop along the northwestern edge of this airmass, where a low-level jet will gradually strengthen. Lift associated with the jet will support isolated thunderstorm development, beginning after midnight in west-central Texas. Thunderstorms are expected to gradually increase in coverage, moving northeastward into southwest and central Oklahoma by late in the period. RAP forecast soundings around midnight show a stout cap in place from near the instability axis eastward, suggesting that any storms that can initiate will likely be elevated at first. Some of the cells could become surface-based later tonight, as the capped airmass shifts eastward due to the approaching mid-level trough. Forecast soundings from west-central Texas into far southwest Oklahoma have effective shear of 50 to 60 knots, with 700-500 mb lapse rates of 7 to 8 C/km. This could be enough for a marginal hail threat. For cells that become surface-based, a few isolated severe wind gusts will also be possible. The greatest potential for isolated severe should be in the 08Z to 12Z timeframe.

Pollen Index: 10.4 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Cedar/Juniper The quantity of pollen grains in the air for Thursday will be falling but will remain in the very high range. This lowering of pollen concentrations is a result of rising humidity and expected precipitation in the morning which tends to wash pollen out of the air.
