672 ACUS03 KWNS 290635 SWODY3 SPC AC 290634 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0134 AM CDT Thu Oct 29 2026 Valid 311200Z - 011200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday. ...Synopsis... A weak mid/upper shortwave impulse will spread east from the central/southern Plains to the Mid/Lower MS Valley on Saturday. Modest boundary layer moisture (increasing near the Gulf Coast) and cool temperatures aloft (around -10 to -12 C at 500 mb) will support sufficient instability for widely scattered showers and thunderstorms from OK/TX toward the Lower MS Valley. Overall severe thunderstorm potential will remain limited by generally weak flow and lack of stronger surface cyclogenesis. Additional thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Great Basin as an upper trough deepens across the Pacific Northwest and northern Great Basin at the same time as a southern stream upper trough approaches the southern CA and Baja coasts. Severe thunderstorms are not expected with this activity. ..Leitman.. 10/29/2026 $$
