It still appears that an evolving large-scale eastern U.S. upper trough will reach peak amplitude near the Atlantic Seaboard around the middle of next week, when cool surface ridging may encompass much of the interior U.S. into areas offshore of the Gulf and south Atlantic coasts. Thereafter, even as the mid-level troughing progresses into the Atlantic and loses amplitude, medium-range guidance indicates that surface ridging will be maintained across the northwestern Gulf coast vicinity, on the southwestern flank of a retreating surface high. There appears greater spread within the model output concerning possible subsequent significant surface cyclogenesis from the lee of the Canadian/northern U.S. Rockies through the interior higher latitudes of Canada, in response to forcing associated with a short wave trough emerging from the mid-latitude Pacific during the middle to latter portion of next week. Even though this may initially include the development of fairly deep surface troughing from the lee of the northern U.S. Rockies into the Great Plains, it appears that low-level Gulf moisture return will be limited. While there may be some increase in thunderstorm activity across parts of the Great Plains by next Thursday and Friday, the lack of widespread appreciable destabilization will probably tend to minimize the risk for severe thunderstorms. ...Kerr.. 10/12/2024 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
