...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
No severe thunderstorms are expected across the U.S. on Saturday.

...Synopsis...
A midlevel trough now over WA will progress eastward across the
upper MS Valley tomorrow, accompanied by a surface cold front.
Conditionally unstable midlevel lapse rates, in combination with
sufficient midlevel moistening in the zone of ascent preceding the
midlevel trough, will support the potential for elevated
thunderstorms across the upper MS Valley.  Elsewhere, a slow-moving
front will extend from the Carolinas to the northwest Gulf and
provide a focus for thunderstorm development.  Severe storms are not
expected as a result of deep, moist profiles and weak vertical
shear.
