Medium-range guidance is in good agreement that a deep upper trough will be over much of the central and eastern CONUS early D4/Wednesday morning. At the same time, a surface low is forecast to be over eastern PA, with an attendant cold front extending southwestward from this low across the central Carolinas, southeastern GA, and northern FL. A shortwave trough is forecast to move within the larger upper troughing, moving from the TN Valley/Southeast through the Mid-Atlantic on D4/Wednesday. This evolution will help induce a more negative tilt to the parent troughing while encouraging an eastward shift and deamplification as well. The cold front will also quickly shift eastward off the East Coast. A fairly narrow warm sector may precede this front, but poor lapse rates will limit instability. This low buoyancy will counter the strong shear expected, resulting in mostly weak updrafts and tempering any severe potential. Stable conditions are expected across the CONUS on D5/Thursday as high pressure shifts from the northern Plains into the OH Valley. Some modest moisture return may potentially begin across TX on D6/Friday ahead of a low-amplitude, southern-stream shortwave trough expected to move across the southern Plains late D6/Friday and early D7/Saturday. Guidance varies on the strength and speed of this wave, limiting predictability, but some thunderstorms are possible across central/east TX and LA late D6/Friday and early D7/Saturday as this wave interacts with the return moisture. ...Mosier.. 12/08/2024 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
