Medium-range guidance remains in good agreement that upper ridging will remain prominent, and probably further amplify, over much of the Rockies/Plains this weekend into early next week. An upper trough should progress slowly eastward from the Midwest/OH Valley to the eastern states on Day 4/Saturday. While an isolated severe risk may exist across parts of the Mid-Atlantic into the Southeast ahead of a weak front, the overall environment currently appears too marginal given modest deep-layer shear to warrant inclusion of a 15% severe area for Saturday. Otherwise, an upper trough/low should mostly remain off the coast of the Pacific Northwest through at least early next week, before possibly advancing inland towards the end of the forecast period (around Day 8/Wednesday). There is a fair amount of uncertainty regarding potential suppression of the upper ridge early next week. Regardless, the severe threat across the CONUS may tend to remain fairly isolated in this time frame, with the exception of potential MCS development from parts of the Plains into the Midwest/OH Valley in a northwesterly mid-level flow regime. But, predictability remains far too low to include any areas early next week. ...Gleason.. 08/14/2024 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
