A thin Level 1 of 5 (Marginal Risk) for severe storms covers the middle and upper Texas coast today, Tuesday, Nov. 10, including Houston, Columbus and Cuero. A few storms could drop quarter-size hail, mainly after 6 PM Central. The rest of the lower 48 has no severe risk today.

## Key points

- **Who is in it:** About 6.7 million people live inside the outlined strip, which is a narrow band along the coast.
- **Timing:** Showers and a few storms are around this afternoon, and one could briefly throw some small hail. Storms should weaken late in the day. A disturbance drifting in from the Texas South Plains then helps storms increase again after 6 PM Central tonight.
- **Impact:** The chance of severe hail is about 5 percent at any one spot. Damaging wind and tornadoes are not outlined. If you park outside in Houston, a covered spot tonight is smart. Otherwise, keep an eye on the sky.
- **Confidence:** Pretty good that storms form, but only the most persistent ones should produce severe hail. Most storms will bring rain and lightning, not severe hail.
- **Next up:** Wednesday, Nov. 11, brings a Level 1 risk for isolated damaging gusts from western Kentucky and southern Indiana into northern Tennessee, including Nashville and Louisville.
