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 NEW YORK INTO SOUTHERN VERMONT...AND THE OZARKS INTO THE MID-SOUTH SUMMARY Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon over New York into southern Vermont with damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado or two the primary threats. Very large hail and severe gusts are possible with the stronger storms over the Ozarks into the Mid-South. 20Z Update The SLGT in the Ozarks/Mid-South was expanded northward into central MO, where an isolated supercell with a risk of very large hail and damaging gusts has emerged along the northern periphery of a remnant cold pool. Farther south within Severe Thunderstorm Watch 127, several discrete/splitting supercells continue to pose a risk of very large hail (recent report of 2.75 inches) and locally damaging wind gusts. With time, this activity may congeal into a loosely organized cluster, with an increasing risk of damaging wind gusts. The MRGL risk was also expanded slightly westward into southwest OK, where boundary-layer cumulus is gradually deepening. Any isolated storms that can form here will pose a risk of large to very large hail and severe downbursts. Finally, the MRGL was expanded slightly westward in southwest TX toward Fort Stockton. While convective initiation is still in question here, deepening boundary-layer cumulus along the higher terrain could result in an isolated storm or two, with a risk of very large hail.
