    ...DISCUSSION...
    A mid-level trough is poised to rapidly amplify while traversing the
    eastern U.S. from around mid-week into next weekend, encouraging a
    surface cold front to sweep across the northern Plains to the East
    Coast Days 4-7 (Tuesday-Friday). Around Day 6 (Thursday), the
    surface cold front should encounter richer low-level moisture while
    impinging on the Appalachians. Surface dewpoints well into the 60s F
    may support MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg. However, much of the stronger
    vertical wind shear and associated upper support may potentially lag
    the surface cold front. As such, uncertainties remain regarding
    severe potential, with no probabilities introduced this outlook.
    Nonetheless, it is plausible that a broken band or line of storms
    with at least scattered gusty conditions (perhaps damaging winds)
    may organize to the immediate lee of the Appalachians on Thursday.
    By the weekend, medium-range guidance hints at the possibility of
    moisture return to the southern Plains, along with instability,
    which may foster isolated severe potential.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A surface cold front will surge east-southeastward across the Plains
    states and the MS Valley Day 4 (Wednesday) before impinging on the
    East Coast by Days 5-6 (Thursday-Friday) as a mid-level trough
    amplifies over the Great Lakes. Adequate low-level moisture will
    precede the cold front, supporting potentially strong thunderstorms
    over the southern Plains on Wednesday given favorable overlapping shear/instability. Thereafter, potentially strong thunderstorms may
    develop ahead of the cold front over the central/northern
    Appalachians into the Hudson River Valley Thursday and Friday as the
    cold front encounters progressively richer moisture. The main
    limiting factor for a clearer severe threat is the potential for
    deep-layer ascent/shear potentially lagging behind the cold front.
    Nonetheless, convergence along the surface cold front may still
    support enough of a severe threat to warrant probabilities by the
    Days 1-3 time frame. Medium-range guidance depicts some moisture
    return across the southern Plains by the end of the week into next
    weekend, as a second mid-level impulse pivots around the broader
    cyclonic flow enveloping the eastern U.S. Should this occur, enough
    favorable overlapping buoyancy and shear may support an isolated
    severe risk.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A pronounced mid-level trough will gradually advance eastward across
    the eastern U.S. through the remainder of the week into this
    weekend, with multiple embedded mid-level perturbations expected to
    pivot around the upper trough. The upper trough and associated
    impulses will reinforce surface high pressure and cooler air across
    much of the U.S. between the Mississippi River and Appalachians
    through the extended forecast period. The surface cold front will
    encounter seasonably rich low-level moisture while encroaching on
    the Eastern Seaboard, prompting the development of at least
    scattered thunderstorms. At the moment, the best chance for strong
    storms, perhaps accompanied by an isolated severe threat, will be
    along the central and northern Appalachians into the Mid Atlantic
    within the Days 4-6 (Thursday-Saturday) time frame.

    Meanwhile, as surface high pressure builds over the OH/TN Valley
    regions, and the Interior West, seasonal moisture return is expected
    across parts of the southern Plains due to surface lee troughing.
    The aforementioned impulses pivoting around the broader scale upper
    trough may graze the southern Plains, perhaps promoting enough
    vertical wind shear atop a moist low-level airmass to support
    isolated severe thunderstorms Days 4-6 (Thursday-Saturday).

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A pronounced mid-level trough will progress across the Northeast
    late this week, ejecting into the Atlantic by the end of the
    weekend. Thereafter, a more progressive pattern will ensue, with
    multiple mid-level shortwave troughs poised to traverse the CONUS
    early into the middle of next week. Despite differences among
    medium-range guidance members, there is general agreement that a
    surface cold front will encounter seasonal low-level moisture across
    the eastern U.S. Days 4-5 (Friday-Saturday), promoting thunderstorm
    potential (some of which may be strong). However, any severe threat accompanying these storms is expected to be localized and isolated.
    Surface high pressure will then become established from the MS River
    Valley eastward, allowing for moisture return across the Plains
    states by next week. Nonetheless, overall forcing for ascent, along
    with buoyancy, are expected to be weak over the Plains next week,
    with severe potential currently appearing low.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    The western North American midlevel ridge of the previous days will
    slowly move east into the central continent by the end of the
    forecast period and in its place an amplified longwave trough will
    take hold across the western US.

    ... Saturday/Day-4 ...
    Before this transition happens, a seasonably strong cold front will
    push east into the Atlantic and south into the northern Gulf states
    as an expansive surface high will move into the central US on
    Saturday/Day-4. Guidance disagrees to the degree instability will
    materialize along and ahead of the front from the Mid-Atlantic
    region into New England. However, pattern recognition would support
    scattered strong thunderstorms along the front across this region.
    Midlevel flow will be sufficiently strong to support at least some
    damaging wind potential should thunderstorms develop.

    ... Sunday/Day-5 through Wednesday/Day-8 ...

    A seasonably cool, dry continental airmass will be in place across
    much of the eastern two-thirds of the contiguous US, resulting in
    low potential of organized severe thunderstorms on Sunday/Day-5.
    That said, as the western trough takes hold, lee troughing will
    develop across the High Plains. This will result in return flow
    drawing low-level northward by early next week. Weak shortwave troughs/vorticity maxima embedded in the increasingly southwesterly
    flow may yield thunderstorms across the High Plains during the late
    afternoon into the overnight hours. Depending on the quality of the
    resulting low-level moisture return and the strength of any of these
    shortwave troughs, the potential for organized severe thunderstorms
    may develop, especially later in the forecast period. However,
    predictability of these features at this time scale is too low to
    warrant unconditional probabilities at this time.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    A seasonally cool and dry continental airmass will be in place
    across much of the eastern US at the start of the forecast period,
    resulting in low severe potential. By Monday/Day-5, the surface high
    pressure responsible for this airmass will have begun to move east
    allowing return flow to become established across the Plains. At the
    same time, lee troughing in response to a western US longwave trough
    will reinforce the return flow regime.

    As the moisture is drawn northward into the Plains, steep lapse
    rates will advect out into the Plains from the higher elevations to
    the west. This combination of moistening low-levels and steep
    midlevel lapse rates will support increasing buoyancy profiles
    through the week.

    Any subtle shortwave trough that ejects out of the western trough
    and emerges into the central and northern Plains will have an
    opportunity to tap into this moist, buoyant atmosphere. The result
    would be at least some potential for thunderstorms, some of which
    could be severe. However predictability of these kinds of subtle
    features is too poor at these lead times to attempt to highlight
    favored days or corridors, thus predictability remains too low for unconditional probabilities.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Upper-level ridging within the West will slowly shift into the
    Plains this weekend and into perhaps the middle of next week. Modest
    to moderate mid-level flow will generally continue across the Midwest/Northeast. In the West, current guidance shows a trough
    slowly making progress east next week. Model guidance has shown a
    high degree of variability with regard to how this western trough
    will evolve through time. Expansive surface high pressure will be
    present in parts of the Plains and points eastward. With time, this
    high will move east and promote southerly return flow across the
    Plains. This process will accelerate as the western trough
    approaches. While some strong to severe storms will be possible as
    moisture returns northward, the timing and location of this
    potential largely depends on where surface boundaries set up and
    where smaller scale perturbations will eject into the Plains. The predictability of these features remains low at this time.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Medium range guidance shows good agreement on the upper-level
    pattern from next Tuesday into late next week. A western trough will
    remain within the Great Basin and Northwest while a ridge across the
    Plains will make very slow eastward progress. The overall pattern
    will favor at least a narrow zone of moisture return northward into
    parts of the Plains. Where models differ is when stronger mid-level
    winds will spread into the Plains. The GFS suggests this could
    happen late this coming week while the ECMWF shows the trough
    ejecting more towards next weekend. Even with these differences,
    some severe risk could develop within the High Plains/Plains near
    surface boundaries or where small scale perturbations provide
    additional ascent. Give the low predictability of these key
    features, severe probabilities will continue to be withheld.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    The mid-level flow pattern across the US is forecast to become more
    stagnant into the extended-range forecast period as the western US
    upper low deepens and shortwave ridging over the Plains moves slowly
    eastward. Broad troughing over the East should gradually
    consolidate, slowing eastward progress of the upper ridge. As the
    western trough slowly approaches the Rockies, a lee trough should
    sharpen each afternoon with a narrow zone of moisture return along
    and east into parts of the High Plains. Sufficient destabilization
    is expected to support isolated thunderstorms, and perhaps some
    severe risk, near the lee trough as smaller embedded perturbations
    eject eastward periodically. However, with only slow movement of the
    upper ridge expected, forcing for ascent should remain modest until
    early next weekend. Somewhat greater severe potential may develop
    D6/Friday or D7/Saturday as the primary upper trough begins to
    emerge over the Plains. However, given the uncertainties associated
    with the smaller scale features, and the timing of the main trough,
    limited confidence exists regarding severe potential in the extended
    forecast.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    The primary focus for isolated severe potential for the next several
    days will be the upper low over the western US. The upper low is
    forecast to slowly deepen late this week as it drifts eastward.
    Shortwave ridging over the Plains is also forecast to move eastward,
    gradually breaking down into this weekend. Surface high pressure
    over the eastern US will allow modest return flow into the western
    Plains along a lee trough and weak surface low over the Dakotas.
    Sufficient destabilization is expected to support isolated
    thunderstorms, and perhaps some severe risk, near the surface trough
    as several shortwave perturbations within the southwesterly flow
    ahead of the primary upper low move over the Plains. Somewhat
    greater severe potential may develop this weekend as the upper low
    ejects over the Plains and more robust moisture. However,the upper
    trough may begin to weaken with the stronger flow aloft being
    displaced north of the best moisture and buoyancy. While isolated
    severe potential may exist each afternoon over the central and
    northern Plains into early next week, confidence in widespread
    severe potential remains too low for probabilities at this time.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    As shortwave ridging begins to breakdown into this weekend, the
    upper trough and enhanced southwesterly flow over the Rockies will
    finally begin to overspread the Plains D4/Friday and D5/Saturday.
    Continued east/southeasterly low-level flow is likely over the
    northern Plains and Upper Midwest, allowing for the return of richer
    surface moisture. A stalled front extending eastward from the lee
    low over the Dakotas into the western Great Lakes may serve as a
    focus for storm development across the Dakotas and MN. However,
    models vary on the degree of moisture and resulting buoyancy near
    the low/front, which casts significant uncertainty on severe
    potential. Enhanced southwesterly flow aloft could support some
    organized severe threat, but confidence in specifics remains too low
    for 15% probabilities.

    Farther south, sufficient destabilization is expected to support
    isolated thunderstorms each afternoon into the central and southern
    Plains. While the main upper trough should begin to weaken later
    into the weekend, lingering mid-level flow could support some severe
    risk within a hot and unstable air mass along a surface trough. By
    early next week, mid-level ridging is expected to rebuild over the
    central CONUS keeping stronger flow aloft and severe potential
    limited for the remainder of the extended forecast period.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Severe potential in the extended forecast period will be tied to a
    shortwave trough and stronger southwesterly flow aloft emanating
    from the Rockies over the central US. Flow aloft will increase
    D4/Saturday as the upper trough begins to overspread the central US.
    Ascent from the trough will maintain a weak surface low and
    stationary front over the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. At the
    same time, a weak cold front will move eastward over the High Plains
    serving as a focus for thunderstorm development from the Dakotas and
    MN to the southern Plains each afternoon. Some isolated severe
    potential is apparent near the surface low/stalled front over the
    northern Plains and along the cold front farther south through the
    remainder of the weekend. However, model guidance varies widely on
    available moisture/buoyancy and the overlap with more robust
    vertical shear. This continues to cast significant uncertainty on
    severe probabilities through the first half of the extended forecast
    period.

    By early next week, mid-level ridging is expected to strengthen,
    forcing stronger flow aloft northward as the primary western trough
    begins to weaken. A second trough will stall over the West as the
    ridge continues to build. This should favor drier surface conditions
    while also limiting the overlap of buoyancy with stronger flow
    aloft. Severe potential appears limited beyond this weekend and into
    the first half of next week.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Model guidance is in fairly good agreement that the upper trough
    over the central US will continue to lift northeastward into the
    northern Plains and Upper Midwest through early next week. This will
    drag a surface low and cold front slowly eastward with seasonably
    high moisture in place. The low will begin to fill as it also lifts
    into southern Canada. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms appear
    likely over the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, and along the
    trailing front over the southern/central Plains each afternoon, as
    increasingly meridional flow will parallel the slow moving cold
    front. This will favor continued storm development/training along
    the boundary with limited air mass destabilization/recovery.
    Mid-level lapse rates should also weaken as the upper trough begins
    to fill. While some marginal severe risk is evident over the
    northern Plains near the low and front, mainly D4/Sunday,
    significant uncertainty exists regarding boundary-layer
    destabilization and its impacts on severe potential through
    D5/Monday.

    By D6/Tuesday, mid-level ridging behind the trough is forecast to
    temporarily strengthen, weakening upper-level flow across the CONUS.
    A second upper trough over the northern Rockies will begin to
    approach behind the central US ridge, while a cutoff low develops
    over the Southeast. This should limit broader overlap of instability
    and stronger mid-level flow across much of the CONUS. Widespread
    severe weather appears unlikely through next week.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    On Monday, a shortwave trough in the northern Plains will continue
    to pivot northeast. The timing of this feature remains uncertain.
    The ECMWF is the lone model that has a solution slow enough to have
    some destabilization occur ahead of the trough. It is not clear how
    much, if any, severe threat will exist in parts of central/northern
    Minnesota.

    On Tuesday, models indicate shortwave ridging will develop behind
    the departing trough in the Upper Midwest. A secondary, broader
    trough will be situated in the northern Rockies. Mid-level flow will
    not be particularly strong, but embedded perturbations may provide
    some enhancement. Depending on the quality of remaining moisture in
    the Plains, some severe risk could develop along the surface trough
    in the central High Plains. Uncertainty is high, however.

    Through the remainder of the week, the upper-level pattern becomes
    much more disorganized. Stronger flow may not return until the
    weekend with a trough approaches the Northwest. Organized severe
    potential appears to be low during this period.

    Valid 161200Z - 211200Z

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Weak mid/upper-level troughing should continue to move slowly
    eastward from the northern Rockies/High Plains into the central
    Plains and Upper Midwest from Day 4/Tuesday into Day 5/Wednesday.
    Thunderstorms should develop across these regions both days as a
    surface cold front likewise develops east-southeastward. While
    moderate to locally strong instability may develop across the warm
    sector each afternoon, mid-level flow and related deep-layer shear
    are expected to remain rather modest. This should tend to limit
    updraft organization and intensity to some extent, although
    isolated/marginal severe potential may necessitate low severe
    probabilities in later outlooks.

    By late next week into the following weekend (Day 6/Thursday to Day 8/Saturday), medium-range guidance begins to diverge in its
    depiction of the evolution of upper troughing across the Midwest/OH
    Valley into the eastern CONUS. This lowers confidence in the
    predictability of organized severe thunderstorms, but some potential
    for strong thunderstorms may exist across portions of these regions
    along/ahead of an advancing cold front.

    Valid 171200Z - 221200Z

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Organized severe thunderstorm potential appears low during the Day
    4-8/Wed-Sun period. Medium range guidance is in fairly good
    agreement that the upper shortwave trough over the northern/central
    Plains Day 4 will develop an upper low as it meanders slowly east
    toward the Mid/Upper MS Valley and the upper Great Lakes through
    most of the forecast period. Some modest west/southwesterly
    mid/upper flow ahead of the trough, in conjunction with a seasonally
    moist boundary layer ahead of a southeastward-drifting cold front
    could support sporadic strong storms across parts of the central
    U.S. from the Ozarks to the Upper MS Valley mid to late in the week.
    However, vertical shear is expected to remain poor, and the
    slow-moving nature of the upper low and weakening surface front with time/eastward extent, will generally be unfavorable for a more
    robust severe risk.

    Valid 181200Z - 231200Z

    ...DISCUSSION...
    An upper low/shortwave trough will persist over the north-central
    U.S. for much of the period. This system is not forecast to deepen,
    resulting in little surface cyclogenesis, with mainly weak surface
    troughing persisting over the Plains. Southerly low-level flow will
    maintain a seasonally moist airmass, and periods of showers and
    thunderstorms are expected each day across parts of the Plains to
    the MS Valley. Modest vertical shear and airmass modification from
    daily rounds of convection will likely limit overall severe
    potential.

    Medium range guidance suggests by late in the period, around Day
    8/Mon, a stronger surface cold front may sweep across portions of
    the Plains as a deepening, more progressive upper trough moves from
    the Rockies into the Plains.
