Medium-range models appear to generally be in reasonable agreement synoptically, with a continuation of the broad western ridge/eastern trough upper flow configuration through the medium range. With passage of a cold front eastward into the Atlantic and southward to the Gulf of Mexico days 4-5 (next Tuesday and Wednesday), suppression of high theta-e air southward to the Gulf Coast states and Texas will limit convective activity across much of the country. By the middle to latter stages of the period an upper low is progged to shift southeastward out of central Canada and into the Great Lakes region -- eventually assisting in the reestablishment of persistent eastern U.S. longwave troughing. Accompanying this feature, a Canadian surface cold front is forecast to shift southward across the Plains Day 6, across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and Texas Day 7, and to the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts Day 8. This evolution will likely include an increase in severe potential across the central and eastern states -- particularly Days 7 and 8. However, confidence is low at this time with respect to narrowing down corridors of greater severe threat this far in advance, and thus will refrain from introducing any risk areas at this time. ...Goss.. 05/13/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
