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 PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS SUMMARY Severe storms capable of producing large hail and scattered severe wind gusts will spread east-southeastward across parts of the south-central High Plains into the overnight hours. Locally damaging gusts will remain possible across parts of the Mid-Atlantic tonight. South-central High Plains Between a broad large-scale trough over the northern CONUS and an upper ridge over the southern Plains, water-vapor imagery indicates a subtle/low-amplitude impulse tracking eastward across the central/southern High Plains -- embedded within a belt of enhanced midlevel westerly flow. This feature and accompanying 40-50 kt of effective shear will maintain an upscale-growing cluster of storms as is tracks east-southeastward across the southern/central High Plains into the overnight hours. In the near-term, large hail and locally severe gusts will be the main concerns, especially with the more separated updrafts/supercell structures evolving along the southern flank of the convective cluster in northeastern NM. With time, strengthening outflow and a nocturnal low-level jet will promote further upscale growth and scattered severe/damaging gusts. See Severe Thunderstorm Watch #323 for more information. Mid-Atlantic A cluster of thunderstorms tracking east-southeastward across the Mid-Atlantic will continue to weaken over the next couple hours as the boundary layer nocturnally stabilizes toward the coast. Eastern Nebraska and eastern Kansas/western Missouri Positive low-level theta-e advection at the nose of a strengthening low-level jet will promote isolated thunderstorm development late in the period. Steep midlevel lapse rates atop a statically stable boundary layer will mostly favor elevated storms. Sufficient deep-layer shear will support convective organization, and severe hail will be possible with the stronger storms that evolve.
