Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0230 PM CDT Thu Apr 10 2025 Valid 121200Z - 131200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday or Saturday night. ...Central Rockies to the Upper Midwest... A mid-level ridge will deamplify through the day on Saturday as a mid-level shortwave trough progresses out of the northern Rockies into the northern Plains. Large-scale ascent will strengthen near peak diurnal heating across parts of the central Rockies to the Black Hills. With limited buoyancy, isolated/short-lived thunderstorms are anticipated amid scattered high-based/low-topped showers. Where deeply mixed thermodynamic profiles exist in eastern WY and western SD, isolated strong wind gusts are possible. As the low-level jet strengthens across the central Plains on Saturday night, sufficient elevated instability could support some thunderstorms across the Mid-Missouri Valley into the Upper Midwest. Limited moisture/instability should limit any large hail threat from this activity. ..Bentley.. 04/10/2025
