📡 Latest Update (20Z):

Severe thunderstorms expected this afternoon and tonight across parts of the northern and central Plains.

🔍 Detailed Forecast:

Northern/Central Plains: Severe storms are developing along the front over the northern High Plains. Convection is starting over northwest Kansas and eastern Colorado, where high temperatures are creating a favorable environment. Storms are expected to increase in coverage over time, with supercell potential in the frontal zone.

South New England: A general thunderstorm area has been added due to ongoing convection beneath an upper trough. Continued heating will support non-severe convection through late afternoon.

Southeast: The Marginal Risk area has been reduced due to subsidence, limiting the chances of locally strong gusts to areas with upper 70s F dewpoints.
