Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0227 PM CDT Thu Oct 29 2026

Valid 311200Z - 011200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday.

...Synopsis...
An upper trough in the Northwest will amplify through the day on
Saturday. Within the subtropical jet, a shortwave trough will
continue northeastward towards the Baja Peninsula and will begin to
phase with the upper trough within the Great Basin.

Thunderstorms will be possible from the central/eastern Texas into
the Gulf Coast regions. Weak flow aloft will limit severe potential
with this activity. Additional convection will also occur ahead of
the trough moving into the Great Basin where temperatures aloft will
be cold (-18 to -22 C at 500 mb). While mid-level flow will be
strong in some areas, buoyancy will be too limited for a severe
risk.
