...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are not expected on Saturday or Saturday night.
...Midwest...
Isolated to scattered elevated thunderstorms are possible on
Saturday night/early morning Sunday, within a broad low-level warm
conveyor ahead of an expansive positive-tilt upper trough across the
West. Guidance does differ in the degree of coverage prior to 12Z
Sunday, with greater convective potential expected on D3. This
appears largely tied to the degree large-scale ascent and attendant
moistening/removal of prior inhibition. Small hail seems plausible
given adequate effective bulk shear, centered on the Mid-MS Valley
vicinity. But meager elevated buoyancy is anticipated where
convection forms, rendering negligible severe hail potential.
