The extended period will begin with a large amplitude upper-level ridge across the western CONUS. This ridge will gradually breakdown on Sunday and Monday with more of a flat ridge by the middle of next week. Persistent northwesterly flow across the Northern Plains/Upper Midwest during the extended forecast period may result in some isolated severe weather threat. However, moisture in the Northern Plains will lack a Gulf of Mexico connection and thus, will likely be somewhat low quality, at least initially. Early next week, as lee troughing returns to the Plains and the low-level jet strengthens, the severe weather threat may increase somewhat.
