There is a Enhanced 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 AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOWER/MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...LOWER OHIO VALLEY...TENNESSEE VALLEY...AND SOUTHEAST SUMMARY Numerous to widespread severe/damaging winds and embedded tornadoes will accompany an intense squall line across much of the lower/mid Mississippi Valley this afternoon and evening. A couple of strong tornadoes are also possible within and just ahead of this line across parts of the lower Ohio Valley into the Mid-South and Gulf Coast regions. The severe wind and tornado threat will likely persist through tonight across portions of the Ohio Valley/Southeast. Lower Mississippi Valley/Southeast into the Ohio Valley/Midwest Pronounced upper troughing over the northern/central Plains late this morning will further amplify through the period as it ejects east-northeastward across much of the MS Valley/Midwest. A 992 mb surface low over northern MO will likewise develop northeastward across the Midwest through the day, reaching northeast IL/northwest IN by this evening and northern Lower MI by the end of the period. Primary low-level jet will focus northward across the OH Valley/Midwest this afternoon and evening, with a trailing/southern portion present across parts of the Mid-South and lower MS Valley. Associated strong low-level warm/moist advection will continue to occur ahead of a sharp surface cold front that is expected to sweep quickly east-southeastward through tonight over much of the lower/mid MS Valley, OH/TN Valleys, and Southeast. Low-level moisture remains fairly shallow/limited ahead of the cold front per latest surface observations and area 12Z observed soundings (ILX, SGF, JAN, LIX). Still, generally 50s surface dewpoints should be present in a narrow warm sector across the OH Valley/Midwest by late afternoon/early evening, with somewhat greater moisture (upper 50s to low 60s surface dewpoints) southward into the lower/mid MS Valley. Large-scale ascent attendant to the approaching upper trough will aid in the erosion of a substantial cap noted along/ahead of the cold front by early afternoon (18-20Z). With even modest/filtered daytime heating, at least weak instability should develop in a narrow corridor ahead of the front. This gradual destabilization will support the potential for rapid thunderstorm development within the next few hours. General consensus of latest guidance is that a QLCS will quickly strengthen/consolidate through the mid to late afternoon into the evening as it moves quickly eastward across AR/MO and the lower/mid MS Valley and lower OH Valley. Deep-layer shear of 40-50+ kt associated with a strengthening west-southwesterly mid-level jet overspreading the warm sector will support organization with the maturing QLCS. Given the expected strength of the flow in the boundary layer (50-60+ kt), numerous to potentially widespread severe/damaging winds up to 60-80 mph are expected wherever the QLCS can remain surface based. Strong low-level shear will also be present to foster embedded mesocirculations and the potential for several QLCS tornadoes. The opportunity for supercells to develop ahead of the squall line remains uncertain, as residual low-level capping may inhibit open warm sector development. Still, greater instability should be present from the western KY/TN vicinity southward into the lower MS Valley. Any supercells that can form ahead of the line across these areas and/or remain at least semi-discrete within the line could produce strong (EF-2+) tornadoes, as low-level shear and related elongated/curved hodographs will be quite favorable for updraft rotation. Although boundary-layer instability will become increasingly weak with northward extent into the OH Valley tonight, a continued threat for numerous severe/damaging winds will likely continue with the QLCS as it shifts eastward across the OH/TN Valleys and much of the Southeast this evening through early Monday morning. Have therefore expanded/combined the wind-driven Enhanced Risk areas in southern/central MS/AL into western GA and eastern TN. Some chance for pre-frontal supercells and strong tornado potential ahead of the QLCS may also exist late tonight across portions of southeast AL, the FL Panhandle, and southwest GA. Florida Peninsula into the Carolinas Low-level moisture will gradually spread northward through tonight from the FL Peninsula to the southern Appalachians and into parts of the Carolinas, well ahead of the amplifying upper trough over the MS Valley. While forcing will remain generally weak/nebulous, there is some chance for isolated hail/damaging winds with thunderstorms this afternoon across much of the FL Peninsula and the Keys. The severe threat across coastal GA/SC/NC appears conditional on thunderstorms spreading inland from the Gulf Stream tonight into early Monday morning. However, an isolated threat for damaging winds and perhaps a tornado would exist in a gradually improving environment if these cells form and move inland. Have therefore maintained the Marginal Risk across this region with no changes.

Pollen Index: 10.8 Pollen Level: high Predominant Pollen: Cedar/Juniper, Elm and Maple The pollen levels for Sunday will be increasing over today's levels and extend further into the very high range. This results in part from higher temperatures and windy conditions.
