Medium-range ensemble output indicates that the center of persistent subtropical ridging will maintain strength, with westward development possible across the Caribbean through this period. At the same time, the center of a prominent mid-level low over the northeastern Canadian Arctic may redevelop a bit farther southwestward into Hudson Bay, before gradually turning east of the Hudson Bay vicinity. In between these features, it still appears that mid-level flow will trend increasingly confluent across and east of the Rockies late this coming weekend into early next week, downstream of a persistent blocking pattern over the eastern Pacific. In the wake of a significant cold intrusion to the lee of the Rockies over the weekend, cold surface ridging probably will be maintained to the east of the Rockies, with the primary frontal zone becoming quasi-stationary across the Gulf into south Atlantic Coast states vicinity. While a return flow from the western Gulf of Mexico may develop around the periphery of the subtropical high, cyclogenesis along the front appears likely to remain weak, with moisture return and forcing supportive of the most substantive convective potential largely focused above the cool/stable air to the north of the surface front. ...Kerr.. 01/24/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
