A persistent shortwave mid-level trough is forecast to remain over the central U.S. from Sunday to Tuesday. During this time period, a moist and unstable airmass is forecast to be in place from the central Plains northeastward into the Great Lakes. It appears that large-scale ascent will be weak across most of this airmass, which will result in limited convective coverage. Although instability and deep-layer shear should be sufficient for an isolated severe threat each afternoon, mainly in areas that heat up the most, any potential should remain localized. Further north into the northern Plains, low-level moisture is forecast to increase by midweek. In response, a moderately unstable airmass could develop by Tuesday afternoon. In spite of this, warm air aloft and limited large-scale ascent should keep convective coverage very isolated. This will likely limit any related severe threat. ....Wednesday/Day 7 and Thursday/Day 8... From Wednesday into Thursday, a mid-level trough is forecast to move across the northwestern U.S. Ahead of this system, a cold front is forecast to advance southeastward across the northern Plains. Thunderstorms would be possible near the front across the Dakotas Wednesday afternoon, and in the upper Mississippi Valley Thursday afternoon. An isolated severe threat would be possible for both days. However, details concerning any potential scenario, including the timing of the front, is highly uncertain at this time. ...Broyles.. 08/07/2025 = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
