A robust and quick moving storm system will track from the Red River Valley Friday night into the Midsouth by Saturday morning, bringing a cold front across the area early in the day. Showers will begin to increase Friday evening, with greater rain chances and a few storms possible overnight. With a potent low-level jet and strong deep layer shear traversing the region and weak instability developing ahead of the front, a few severe storms can`t be ruled out mainly just ahead of the front. Models have been trending faster with this system, and the limited window of severe weather threat is expected to close by the afternoon in most areas. Of course, the morning timing is not generally favorable for a significant uptick in instability.
