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 SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF OKLAHOMA SUMMARY Scattered severe storms capable of large hail and damaging winds are possible from southeast Kansas through much of central and eastern Oklahoma into north Texas Friday afternoon into Friday night. More sparse occurrences of large hail and damaging winds are possible across the Ozarks, central and south TX, and the Gulf Coast states. Central Plains Morning water vapor imagery shows a shortwave trough over western KS tracking southeastward. Full sunshine will lead to strong heating/destabilization ahead of the associated cold front over eastern KS and much of OK. Dewpoints in the 50s, coupled with steep low/mid level lapse rates will yield afternoon MLCAPE values of 1000-1500 J/kg and the development of scattered thunderstorms along the front. These storms will track southeastward through the evening across much of OK and into north TX. Forecast soundings indicate favorable vertical shear profiles for supercell structures capable of large hail. Eventual upscale organization into linear/bowing structures will aid in a risk of damaging winds as storms persist into the overnight period across the ArkLaTex. While the overall severe threat should diminish by this time, storms may occasionally result in damaging wind gusts and hail. Central Gulf Coast Clusters of showers and thunderstorms are ongoing this morning along/north of a surface boundary that extends from southeast TX along the Gulf Coast into north FL. Storms are expected to increase in coverage during the afternoon along the front, with a few strong to severe cells expected. Gusty winds are the primary concern.
