There is only a slight chance for storms today, despite how ominous the Storm Prediction Center map may look. Storms are more likely going to slide by to the north this afternoon and evening. The main risk within any storms that develops is brief heavy rain, lightning, and gusty wind. The tornado threat is very, very low.
Looking at model data, the HRRR computer weather model shows only a few storms north of I-20 this evening. Then, tomorrow, it shows a better chance for storms developing along the lingering outflow boundary that is left over from the storms tonight.
Given the chance for storms again tomorrow, the SPC has highlighted part of the Gulf Coast with a Marginal Risk for severe weather during the day on Thursday.
