Valid 161200Z - 171200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Sporadic strong storms are possible Saturday from the Black Hills
eastward to Wisconsin.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
An upper ridge will remain over the Plains on Saturday, with the
upper high centered over MO. Low-level moisture will remain abundant
over much of the Plains and MS Valley, with southerly winds along
and south of an east-west oriented front. This front will stretch
roughly from SD to WI, and provide a focus for bouts of
thunderstorms through the period.

Areas of storms may be ongoing Saturday morning from SD into WI,
where warm southwest winds will continually impinge upon the frontal
zone. Some of this activity could produce sporadic strong gusts.

Later in the day, further destabilization could result in a renewal
of storms from central MN into WI. While moderately unstable,
deep-layer shear will be modest, with somewhat disorganized storm
modes possible. Predictability is too low to denote the exact
corridor for isolated severe at this time.

Farther west, afternoon storms will be possible over the Black Hills
and surrounding areas, especially late in the day and into the
evening. Some of this initial activity could produce localized hail
or strong gusts. Low-level winds will be weak, with little overall
focus. As such, will defer possible low probabilities to later
updates.
