Upper ridging is forecast to remain in place over the southern Plains and Southeast States through the weekend and into the middle of next week. A series of shortwave troughs will likely traverse a belt of stronger mid-level flow extending from the northern Plains through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The first shortwave is expected to move quickly through the Upper Great Lakes/Ohio Valley and Northeast on D4/Saturday. Some severe thunderstorms appear possible ahead of this wave from the Middle/Upper OH Valley into the Northeast/New England. However, uncertainty regarding the speed of the shortwave (and associated surface features) introduces uncertainty regarding the most likely location for severe and precludes introducing any areas. Another shortwave is expected to move from the northern Plains into the OH/TN Valley and continue through the Mid-Atlantic from D5/Sunday through D7/Tuesday. Guidance has shown notable variability with the evolution of this second shortwave, with recent runs of the ECMWF and Canadian trending deeper and slower. Given the strength of the mid-level flow associated with this system, some severe appears likely. Highest confidence in severe is currently over IA and vicinity on D5/Sunday as the leading edge of the approaching shortwave interacts with the moist and unstable airmass expected to be in place. Thereafter, differences in timing within the guidance, plus likely influential effects from the evolution of the preceding thunderstorms limits predictability on D6/Monday and D7/Tuesday. ...Mosier.. 08/09/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
