Organized severe storms are not currently expected on Friday. ...Synopsis... A mid/upper-level trough is forecast to remain in place across the central/northern Plains and Upper Midwest on Friday, as an embedded midlevel cyclone moves eastward across SD. Scattered diurnal storm development will be possible from the ArkLaTex into much of the MS Valley, within a relatively moist and moderately unstable environment. With weak deep-layer flow/shear expected across this region, the threat for organized severe storms currently appears low. Late in the period, elevated storms may develop within a low-level warm advection regime across parts of KS/OK. Farther west, a midlevel shortwave trough is forecast to move from central CA toward the Great Basin, while a broader mid/upper-level trough remains offshore of southern CA. This pattern will favor potential for scattered storms across parts of the Southwest, with at least isolated storm development possible from central/northern CA into adjacent parts of NV. ..Dean.. 09/17/2025 $$
