Medium-range guidance generally indicates low-amplitude/weak upper troughing will persist across portions of the central U.S. through the weekend. By early next week, large spread exists between the control members of the GFS and ECMWF and how these models handle the evolution of a deepening upper trough moving out of the Rockies and into the Plains/Midwest around Days 6-8/Mon-Wed.
