Medium-range models continue to suggest a pattern evolution which could support at least increasing potential for thunderstorm activity during the early through middle portion of next week. It appears that a belt of strong mid/upper flow will emerge from the southern mid-latitude Pacific and undergo amplification while crossing the U.S. Latest output, including the ECENS/ECMWF and GEFS, has trended faster and less amplified (compared to 24 hours ago) with an initial perturbation progressing east of the Rockies late Sunday into early Monday. Forcing for ascent and surface cyclone development are also focused farther north, along a stalling surface front across the middle Missouri Valley through southern/lower Great Lakes region by late Monday afternoon, and across New England on Tuesday. While it does not appear out of the question that vertical shear and lift within the warm sector of this system may become sufficient to support a risk for severe thunderstorms given enough destabilization, it still appears that weak moisture return in the wake of the recent cold intrusion through the Gulf of Mexico will be a limiting factor. Spread is larger among the various models concerning renewed cyclogenesis to the lee of southern Rockies by next Wednesday, associated with a trailing short wave trough. Barring more substantive amplification than current guidance suggests is most probable, low-level moisture return might still not support more than very limited severe weather potential. ...Kerr.. 11/01/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
