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 OVER PARTS OF LOUISIANA SUMMARY Locally damaging winds and perhaps a tornado or two may occur across a portion of the Lower and Mid Mississippi Valleys, and central to southern Wisconsin. LA/MS A large upper trough is present today over the central US, with the primary surface boundary extending from eastern AR southward into central LA. Scattered thunderstorms have been occurring along and ahead of this boundary, including several storms exhibiting low and mid level rotation. Winds aloft are expected to weaken through the day, but there is a continued chance of isolated tornadoes for a few hours late this morning and early afternoon. Therefore have added a small SLGT risk area. Please refer to MCD #2213 for further details on this environment. AR/TN/KY/IN A narrow line of thunderstorms is noted along the boundary across eastern AR. Several morning CAM solutions suggest this line may maintain some character through the afternoon and it tracks northeastward across parts of the mid MS Valley. Visible satellite imagery shows breaks in the clouds across this region, providing some heating and destabilization. Also, low level wind fields will remain rather strong ahead of the convection. This may be sufficient for locally gusty/damaging wind gusts this afternoon. WI A few low-topped showers and thunderstorms will likely form later this afternoon near a deepening surface low over WI. Widespread clouds will limit destabilization, but there is some potential for locally gusty/damaging winds during the peak-heating period.
