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 slide eastward across the southern states on Saturday morning and then turn northeast to the Tennessee Valley. This southern system will combine with multiple jet streaks to help destabilize the atmosphere from late Friday night through Saturday evening. As a result, showers and thunderstorms are likely here from late Friday night into Saturday night and some of the thunderstorms can reach severe levels with damaging wind gusts and strong tornadoes on the table.
