Valid 161200Z - 211200Z
...DISCUSSION...
The upper trough across the TX Gulf Coast is forecast to continue
eastward and weaken as ridging intensifies over the central US. The
strong surface response to the building ridge (1030-1035 mb) will
favor cool, dry and stable offshore flow over much of the CONUS.
Thunderstorms will likely be confined to the near-shore coastal
waters of the Gulf through the remainder of the weekend and into
early next week.
...Mid to late week...
Ensemble guidance eventually shows the upper ridge yielding to
increasingly strong western US troughing sometime mid to late week.
Model solutions vary, with AINWP guidance considerably stronger and
faster than physics-based ensembles with ejecting the deep upper
trough and surface low D5/Tues - D7/Thur. Regardless, it appears
likely that stronger southwesterly flow aloft will move eastward
from the Desert Southwest into the southern Rockies and eventually
the central US, with increasing thunderstorm chances mid to late
week next week. The prominent high pressure over the Midwest will
likely delay substantial moisture return, casting significant
uncertainty on any severe potential. Predictability remains low
through much of the forecast period.
