Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday. ...Synopsis... A low-amplitude shortwave trough will progress along the Gulf Coast. Farther west, an upper trough will deepen within the Great Basin with another shortwave tough approaching the Baja Peninsula. Scattered storms are expected within a weak warm advection regime from east Texas into the Mid South and lower Mississippi Valley vicinity. The strongest activity will likely remain offshore. Cold temperatures aloft and minimal buoyancy will support isolated thunderstorm activity within portions of the northern Great Basin. Early morning thunderstorm activity will also be possible within a zone of modest warm advection from southeast South Dakota into eastern Iowa. Little to no severe risk is expected Saturday given the poor thermodynamic environment. ..Wendt.. 10/30/2026 $$
