Cyclonic upper flow and stable low-level conditions are expected across the central and eastern CONUS on D4/Thursday as surface high pressure shifts from the northern Plains into the OH Valley. At the same time, a low-amplitude, southern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to progress across the Great Basin and Four Corners before then continuing into the central/southern Plains on D5/Friday and Mid MS Valley on D6/Saturday. Surface cyclogenesis will likely precede this shortwave over the central Plains on D5/Friday, with low-level moisture advection anticipated over the southern Plains as well. The quality of this moisture advection will be tempered by the strength of a preceding cold front, with mid 60s dewpoints likely remaining confined to the TX Gulf Coast. Even so, thunderstorms still appear possible late Friday into early Saturday along and ahead of the cold front from east TX into the Ozarks, and across the Lower MS Valley on D6/Saturday.
