12AM Day 2 Convective Outlook for Saturday, August 23. NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
SUMMARY
The potential for severe storms is low across the continental U.S. for Saturday or Saturday night.
DISCUSSION
A mid-level shortwave trough will move eastward through the western Great Lakes on Saturday, as a cold front advances southeastward across the mid Mississippi Valley and central Plains. As surface temperatures warm during the day, isolated thunderstorm development will be possible near the front. Instability is expected to remain weak along and ahead of the front, which should keep any severe potential low. Elsewhere across the continental U.S., no severe threat is expected.
