Models continue to suggest potential for severe weather across parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley area Day4/Monday, as a mid-level short-wave trough is shunted northeastward across this region by the persistent central U.S. ridge. Timing of the advance of this feature differs between the GFS and ECMWF, casting some uncertainty, but enough agreement exists to maintain a 15% probability area across this region. One other area of interest Day 4/Monday is across portions of the southern New England/Mid-Atlantic vicinity within a northwesterly flow regime on the southwestern side of New England/Canadian Maritimes upper low. Enhanced northwesterlies aloft would be sufficient to produce rather fast-moving bands of storms, but degree of instability remains a substantial question at this time. With intensity of the convection thus still uncertain, will refrain at this time from introducing a risk area. As the north-central U.S. mid-level feature moves into/across Ontario Day 5, a decrease in severe risk is expected despite a weak frontal advance southeastward across the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley. Beyond Day 5, models begin to deviate substantially, particularly with respect to their handling of the next trough expected to progress eastward across the Canadian Prairie and northwestern/north-central CONUS. While some severe potential could accompany this feature, particularly if an evolution that resembles the stronger ECMWF solution plays out, uncertainty precludes any reasonable assessment of severe potential. ...Goss.. 08/23/2024 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
