Discussion

A powerful low pressure system will form in the central Plains on Friday and take a northeastward track towards the western Great Lakes region. There will be strong support in the upper-atmosphere for this system and a second strong upper-level low will begin to slide eastward across the southern states. This southern system will combine with multiple jet streaks to help destabilize the atmosphere around here from late Friday night through Saturday.  As a result, showers and thunderstorms are likely here late Friday night and through the day on Saturday and some of the thunderstorms can reach severe levels with damaging winds and tornadoes on the table.
