A more progressive upper-level pattern will emerge during the Day 4-8 period. A series of upper shortwave troughs will move through southern-stream flow across the southern tier of the U.S. during this time. The first shortwave will move across the southern Plains to the Southeast on Days 4-5/Sun-Mon. In response, a surface low will develop over Texas, moving east over the northern Gulf or very near the LA/MS/AL coast through Monday. Modest low-level moisture may return as far north as the TX coast eastward. However, given the forecast track of the low being very near the Gulf coast, or over the northern Gulf waters, better quality moisture is expected to remain further south, limiting severe potential inland. A cold front will dive southeast across the Gulf on Day 5/Mon. Strong surface high pressure in the wake of this system will develop over the Plains to the southeastern U.S. for much of the rest of the period, resulting a dry and stable conditions. Another shortwave may move across the same general area (southern Plains to Southeast) late in the period around Day 7/Wed or Day 8/Thu. Another surface low could then track across the Gulf, though medium-range guidance varies considerably in this scenario. Nevertheless, most guidance suggests any low that develops will likely remain offshore, limiting severe potential. ...Leitman.. 12/28/2023 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
