After trending more zonal, or least less amplified, late this week through next weekend, the latest medium-range guidance suggests that there may be substantive amplification within the westerlies across the southern mid-latitude eastern Pacific through the Atlantic Seaboard during the early portion of next week. It appears that this may include the evolution of a significant, progressive short wave trough to the east of the Rockies, downstream of larger-scale mid-level ridging building across the Pacific coast through Rockies and adjacent Great Plains. Initially digging across the central Great Plains by early next Monday, significant surface cyclogenesis now appears possible across the Ozark Plateau into lower Ohio Valley as the trough amplifies east-southeastward across the middle and lower Mississippi Valley. The cyclone may deepen further while redeveloping to the east of the Allegheny Mountains through the northern Mid Atlantic coast on Tuesday, with a trailing cold front surging across much of the Southeast and Mid Atlantic. Given this potential synoptic forcing, an associated risk for severe thunderstorm development might not be completely negligible. However, in the wake of the significant preceding cold intrusion, guidance still suggests that surface ridging may be maintained across much of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast region into late Sunday or early Monday. It appears that this may preclude a substantive return flow of moisture prior to the onset of cyclogenesis. And modest to weak boundary-layer moistening/deepening within the warm sector may remain problematic with regard to destabilization as it evolves across the central through eastern U.S. At this time, severe probabilities still appear less than 15 percent for next Monday-Tuesday, but it is possible that this could change in later outlooks for this period. ...Kerr.. 10/31/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
