🟢 2% Tornado Risk: San Antonio, TX, Austin, TX, Washington, DC, Miami, FL, Pittsburgh, PA

What the Percentages Mean
A 5% tornado risk means there is a 1 in 20 chance of a tornado within 25 miles of any point in the zone. That risk is notable—especially in west TX and southeast NM, where evening supercells may become tornadic.
The 2% zone covers a wide area, signaling a low but non-negligible tornado threat in supportive setups.

📝 Overview
Severe thunderstorms are expected today across the southern High Plains, particularly southeast NM into western and central TX.
Large to very large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes are possible—especially late this afternoon into the evening.

⛈️ Hazards Include
🧊 Very large hail (up to 2–3") with isolated supercells
🌪️ A couple tornadoes possible (especially from late afternoon through evening)
💨 Damaging wind gusts, particularly with any evening clusters

🕓 Timeline
🕐 Early Afternoon: Elevated storms ongoing in parts of TX with isolated hail potential
🕓 3–6 PM CDT: Surface-based storms begin firing along the dryline in southeast NM and west TX
🌆 6–9 PM CDT: Peak tornado and large hail threat across the Permian Basin
🌒 9 PM–1 AM CDT: Possible cluster/line development; wind and hail remain threats into central TX

📌 Regional Notes
🟤 Permian Basin (Midland/Odessa/Del Rio): Best setup for supercells with hail and tornado potential
🟡 Eastern FL / Mid-Atlantic: Scattered thunderstorms may bring hail or gusty winds, especially near sea breeze/front boundaries
🟢 Western Dakotas: A few strong storms may form along a boundary—isolated hail and wind possible

⚠️ Stay Weather-Aware
If you're in west TX or southeast NM, conditions are favorable for dangerous supercells later today.
Charge devices, enable weather alerts, and be prepared to act quickly if a tornado warning is issued.
