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 THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PARTS OF THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION SUMMARY Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms capable mainly of damaging winds will be possible today across the Upper Ohio Valley and Lower Great Lakes. Upper OH Valley Latest surface analysis shows a cold front pushing eastward across western OH, associated with a band of widespread clouds and light precipitation. Mostly clear skies are present ahead of the front, where temperatures are warming through the 70s. This will lead to a corridor of marginal afternoon instability and the potential for scattered thunderstorm intensification along the front. Forecast soundings show strong mid-level winds and steep low-level lapse rates, supportive of strong downdrafts in any vigorous convection. However, CAM guidance is consistent in showing very few organized/strong storms through the day. Will maintain the SLGT risk for the conditional risk of a few damaging wind events, but with limited confidence. TX Isolated intense thunderstorms have been ongoing this morning in the post-frontal regime across central TX. These storms have produced hail and gusty winds for several hours. It appears likely that this scenario will shift eastward and weaken early this afternoon as the primary upper jet moves into AR and away from the region, but will maintain the MRGL risk area for a few more hours and extend it into parts of AR/LA.

Pollen Index: 9.5 Pollen Level: medium-high Predominant Pollen: Oak, Mulberry and Maple. Concentration of pollen grains in the air for Sunday will be falling but will remain in the high range. This decrease is due to falling temperatures and heavy rains in the morning and evening which tend to wash pollen out of the air.
