High pressure will dominate the surface pattern across the eastern CONUS on Sunday. Strong lee troughing will begin across the central CONUS early next week as a large mid-level trough shifts across the western CONUS. There is consistency among extended range guidance for a strong ridge to build across the eastern CONUS which will result in a positively tilted mid-level trough with multiple embedded shortwave troughs. As these advect through the flow, several surface lows will move from the Plains to the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes next week. Initially, surface moisture will be lacking across the Plains, but by the middle of the week Day7/Wednesday, the continued southerly flow will result in better low-level moisture with 60sF dewpoints potentially as far north as the Midwest with mid 60s dewpoints into the southern Plains. Once more robust low-level moisture moves inland and interacts with the sharp surface front/trough, thunderstorms will be possible. Once this moisture is in place, severe weather will become more possible from Day7/Wednesday and beyond. At this time it is unclear how the evolution of these individual shortwave troughs will occur which will impact severe weather potential. ...Bentley.. 10/24/2024 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
