...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...



...SUMMARY...

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible on Saturday from

the Tennessee Valley into the southern Appalachians. Thunderstorms

will also be possible in Wisconsin and Lower Michigan Saturday

...DISCUSSION...

An upper-level ridge will move into the Rockies on Saturday, as

northwesterly mid-level flow remains from the Great Plains to the

Eastern Seaboard. Within the flow, a shortwave mid-level trough will

move through the Tennessee Valley. Ahead of this feature, scattered

thunderstorms will be possible during the day from southern Kentucky

and Tennessee southeastward across northern Georgia and South

Carolina. Isolated thunderstorms will also be possible Saturday

night from Wisconsin into western Michigan, as a mid-level jet

streak moves eastward across the Great Lakes. No severe

thunderstorms are forecast Saturday and Saturday night.
