    Valid 211200Z - 261200Z

    ...DISCUSSION...
    In the wake of the strong eastern US trough and cold front moving
    offshore D3/Monday, a second upper low will deepen over the eastern
    US through the first half of next week. As the low deepens,
    persistent northwesterly flow aloft and surface high pressure will
    build over the central US. Post-frontal offshore flow should limit
    surface moisture/instability and resulting thunderstorm chances for
    much of the CONUS through Wednesday.

    Some thunderstorm potential may return D6/Thursday and D7/Friday as
    a southern stream shortwave trough moves from the Southwest into the
    southern Plains. Cooling temperatures aloft overspreading modest
    moisture return over TX/OK could support some thunderstorm activity.
    However, uncertainty on destabilization and stronger vertical shear
    remains very high, thereby limiting severe predictability.

    Additional thunderstorm chances may develop over the central US next
    weekend as another Pacific trough approaches. But, model guidance
    remains quite varied on the intensity/evolution as well as available
    moisture ahead of this system. Thus, predictability remains too low
    for severe probabilities through the extended forecast period.

    Valid 221200Z - 271200Z

    ...DISCUSSION...
    In the wake of the strong upper low over the eastern US,
    thunderstorm chances will be temporarily muted across the central
    and eastern US with surface high pressure and offshore flow limiting
    available instability. Isolated thunderstorms are possible late
    D4/Wed over parts of the Southwest ahead of a southern stream
    shortwave trough moving onshore from the eastern Pacific. However,
    moisture and buoyancy should be quite sparse, suggesting only
    isolated coverage and negligible severe risk.

    ...Southern Plains to the lower MS Valley D5-D8...
    The shortwave trough over the Southwest is forecast to move into the
    southern Plains as high pressure over the eastern US settles along
    the Gulf Coast. As the trough crosses the Rockies, a lee low should
    develop, allowing for modest low-level moisture return over parts of
    the lower MS Valley and southern Plains. Cooling mid-level
    temperatures and moistening of the airmass over TX/OK should support
    increasing thunderstorm chances through the end of the week, with
    thunderstorm potential extending into the ArkLaTex and lower MS
    Valley next weekend.

    Some severe potential is apparent as westerly flow aloft increases
    amidst the returning moisture/instability. However, details such as
    the degree of destabilization, timing/structure of the upper trough,
    and the potential for organized storms remains highly uncertain. 15%
    severe probabilities could be introduced in future outlook cycles
    should confidence in organized severe potential increase.

    Valid 231200Z - 281200Z

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Severe storm potential is likely to increase through the extended
    forecast period as a series of upper troughs and enhanced
    southwesterly flow aloft return to the central and southeastern
    CONUS. The primary uncertainty remains the degree of moisture return
    and instability.

    ...D4/Thursday-D6/Saturday Southern Plains/ArkLaTex...
    A shortwave trough will cross the southern Rockies into the High
    Plains supporting lee cyclogenesis Thursday and Thursday night. In
    the wake of the earlier frontal passage, modest low-level moisture
    return is expected to take place east of the low and a lee trough
    over the southern Plains as a warm front lifts northward. Cooling
    mid-level temperatures will allow for diurnal destabilization and
    some organized severe potential as westerly flow aloft also
    increases. Strong to potentially severe storms are possible
    D4/Thursday and D5/Friday in vicinity of the surface low and warm
    front across KS/OK, and along the lee trough into the TX Panhandle.
    However, confidence in the overall severe risk and its evolution is
    low, pending sufficient moisture return and the timing of the upper
    trough.

    Some severe potential will likely shift eastward into the ArklaTex
    D6/Saturday as the upper low moves eastward and low-level moisture
    return continues. Confidence in the severe risk is limited, owing to
    the potential for several prior days of convection.

    ...Eastern Plains and Mid MS Valley D7-D8...
    Greater severe potential may develop towards the end of the extended
    forecast period as a deep upper trough matures over the Plains
    D7/Sunday and moves into the Midwest/MS Valley D8/Monday. Ensemble
    and deterministic guidance show a strong cold front and low with
    sufficient moisture/instability for severe storms capable of all
    hazards from the eastern Plains and MS Valley late this weekend into
    early next week. 15% severe probabilities could be needed in future
    outlook cycles should model solutions converge on timing and
    location of the greatest severe risk.

    Valid 241200Z - 291200Z

    ...DISCUSSION...
    ...D4/Friday-D5/Saturday Southern Plains/ArkLaTex...
    The shortwave trough over the southern Plains and associated surface low/Pacific front will gradually move eastward Friday supporting
    scattered thunderstorms over parts of TX/OK. Overnight convection
    and continued low-level warm air advection is likely to impact the
    environment to some degree. This suggests very low predictability
    for any organized severe threat. Still, broad ascent, moderate
    deep-layer shear, and the potential for destabilization suggests at
    least some severe risk may develop from central OK southward toward
    the Red River and central TX vicinity Friday.

    Low-end severe potential will likely shift eastward into the
    ArkLaTex and lower MS Valley D5/Saturday as the upper low moves
    farther eastward. Most guidance shows the upper trough beginning to
    weaken with the surface features also becoming more ill defined with
    time. While the general environment likely will remain supportive of thunderstorms and isolated severe potential, details are sparse.

    ...Eastern Plains and Mid MS Valley D6/Sunday-D7 Monday...
    Higher severe potential may develop towards the end of the extended
    forecast period as a Pacific trough and amplified westerly flow
    develop over the western US D6/Sunday and move into the Plains and
    Midwest D7/Monday. Substantial variability exists between multiple
    ensemble and deterministic models regarding the evolution of the
    trough and resulting surface pattern. More amplified and less
    progressive solutions, along with some ML guidance, show the
    potential for a deep surface low and strong cold front to develop
    and sweep eastward. Should this occur, robust moisture return for
    fall is likely to develop along with strong low and mid-level wind
    fields across much of the central US. A favorable synoptic regime
    could support widespread severe storm development with sufficient instability/shear overlap for all hazards from the eastern Plains
    into the MS Valley and Midwest.

    This scenario remains highly uncertain with large variance noted
    between both ensemble and deterministic solutions regarding the
    structure and timing of the upper trough. Given the degree of
    spatial and temporal variance, predictability remains too low to
    justify probabilities in the extended forecast. However, 15% or
    higher severe probabilities could be needed in future outlook cycles
    should guidance trend towards a more unified/higher-end solution.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    ...D4/Sat-D5/Sun East TX/Lower MS Valley...
    The upper low over the southern Plains will shift eastward this
    weekend, gradually wakening as it moves over the lower MS Valley.
    This should result in a rather nebulous surface pattern, with broad
    low-level warm air advection expected over much of eastern TX and
    the lower MS Valley. The environment will likely remain supportive
    of scattered thunderstorms and isolated severe potential given
    sufficient buoyancy and moderate flow aloft. However, confidence in
    specific hazards or storm mode is low.

    ...D6/Monday Plains and MS Valley...
    To the west of the departing upper low, a second Pacific trough will
    move onshore over the Northwest late this weekend before
    intensifying early next week. As the main trough and several
    small-scale perturbations within enhanced westerly flow aloft cross
    the Rockies, a surface low may develop over the Plains potentially
    allowing for some northward return of moisture coincident with
    increased vertical shear. This could support thunderstorms and some
    severe risk across the eastern Plains and Mid/Lower MS Valley.

    Model guidance remains highly varied on the evolution of this system
    with the GEFS/GFS notable outliers in its intensity among other
    solutions. Guidance has trended toward an overall less amplified and
    more disjointed evolution, with persistent mid-level troughing over
    the eastern US. This would likely suppress northward return moisture
    and any potential warm sector over the Plains and Mid MS Valley.
    Still, some severe risk remains possible over the southern Plains
    and lower MS valley early next week given the increase in surface
    moisture and flow aloft. However, the evolution and potential
    hazards remains very uncertain.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    The upper trough over East TX is forecast to weaken as it moves over
    the lower MS Valley late this weekend and into early next week.This
    system will merge with several weaker perturbations over the eastern
    US as a second trough and strong zonal jet are forecast to move out
    of the Rockies and into the Plains. Mid-level ridging is expected to
    develop across the Great Lakes and Southwest early next week. This
    will likely result in blocked and split mid-level flow before deeper
    troughing consolidates over the eastern half of the CONUS. As the
    western ridging builds, flow aloft will trend more northwesterly,
    suppressing overall amplification of the Plains trough.

    Isolated severe potential remains possible D4/Sunday and D5/Monday
    over parts of the southern Plains and the ArkLaMiss where remnant
    moisture should intersect with enhanced flow aloft. However, poor
    lapse rates and several rounds of proceeding storms lends low
    confidence to specific hazards or spatial coverage.

    Through the remainder of next week, broad eastern US troughing will
    persist with strong northwesterly flow aloft over the western and
    central US. A strong cold front will develop and sweep eastward
    midweek, with surface high pressure developing in its wake. This
    will likely keep substantial moisture return and resulting buoyancy
    subdued for the foreseeable future.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    The upper trough over the Gulf Coast is forecast to continue
    weakening before merging with an upper low over the Atlantic Coast
    through early next week. Residual moisture and enhanced westerly
    flow aloft could support some low-end severe risk D4/Monday over
    parts of the Southeast. However, poor lapse rates and the potential
    for multiple prior rounds of convection casts significant
    uncertainty on severe potential.

    Thereafter, the mid-level flow pattern will gradually amplify as
    ridging develops over the Southwest. At the same time, broad eastern
    US troughing is expected to form, intensifying northwesterly flow
    aloft over the western and central US. A strong cold front will move
    southward into the Gulf by midweek with strong surface high pressure
    developing in its wake. Persistent eastern US troughing and high
    pressure over the central US will favor cooler, drier and more
    stable surface conditions for the foreseeable future.

    Severe storms appear unlikely over the CONUS through the extended

    eastern US while ridging develops over the West. This will amplify
    the overall pattern with strong northwesterly flow likely over much
    of the central US. In response, a strong cold front and very deep
    surface low will move offshore scouring available surface moisture
    from the central US midweek next week. The persistent eastern US
    troughing and high pressure in the wake of the cold front over the
    central US will favor cooler, drier and more stable surface
    conditions through the remainder of next week.

    Severe potential is low through the extended forecast period. A
    strong upper trough and jet over the central US will merge with a
    broad upper low over the eastern US midweek. At the same time,
    ridging will develop over the West, as the flow pattern aloft
    amplifies significantly. This will drive strong northwesterly flow
    across the central CONUS. An associated cold front will sweep
    through the central and eastern US before moving offshore D4/Wed. As
    the front moves offshore, a deep coastal low is expected to develop
    and could promote isolated thunderstorm activity along the East
    Coast or south FL late this week and into the weekend. However, the
    persistent eastern US troughing and strong surface high pressure
    behind the cold front will favor much cooler, drier and more stable
    surface conditions across the CONUS. Thus, thunderstorm chances are
    low with little severe risk through the extended forecast period.

    An amplified, but stagnant mid-level flow pattern is forecast to
    develop over the US late this week continuing into the weekend.
    Punctuated, by continued large-scale troughing over the eastern US,
    a deep coastal low will develop and move off the Atlantic Coast.
    Accompanying the low, a strong cold front is forecast to scour
    moisture from much of the continent as surface high pressure builds
    behind it. As troughing is maintained to the east, ridging will
    build over the western US supporting strong northwesterly flow aloft
    over the central CONUS. Strengthening surface high pressure will
    favor continued offshore flow and little moisture return. Widespread
    cooler and more stable surface conditions are forecast to persist
    into early next week with little change in the large-scale pattern.
    Thus, thunderstorm chances are low with little severe risk through

    In the wake of a substantial cold frontal passage across the East,
    generally dry and stable conditions are expected to prevail through
    much of the extended range, as a large-scale mid/upper-level trough
    and extensive surface ridge persist across the central/eastern CONUS
    and limit potential for substantial moisture return.

    On D5/Saturday, modest low-level moisture return will be possible
    across parts of Deep South TX and the TX Gulf Coast, in response to
    a midlevel shortwave trough digging southward across the Great
    Plains. Most deterministic and ensemble guidance (aside from the
    more aggressive 28/00Z GFS) suggests destabilization will be too
    weak to support an organized severe threat, though at least some
    thunderstorm activity could accompany this system.

    Some thunderstorm potential could linger near the Gulf Coast into
    D6/Sunday and D7/Monday, but most guidance suggests only low
    potential for substantial inland moisture return and destabilization
    into early next week.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Organized severe-thunderstorm potential generally appears low
    through the extended range, with dry and stable conditions expected
    to prevail across most of the CONUS into at least early next week.

    On D4/Saturday, a mid/upper-level trough is forecast to amplify over
    the central/southern Plains and lower/mid MS Valley. Some modest
    low-level moisture return will be possible across parts of south TX
    and the TX Gulf Coast during the day, in advance of a reinforcing
    cold front. The GFS remains the most aggressive regarding prefrontal destabilization, with other deterministic and ensemble guidance
    depicting weaker instability, and a tendency for any storm
    development to be primarily anafrontal.

    For D5/Sunday and beyond, predictability decreases with time
    regarding whether the mid/upper-level trough will remain progressive
    as it moves across the Southeast, or if a deep mid/upper-level
    cyclone will develop and move only slowly eastward. Most guidance
    depicts limited inland moisture return and destabilization, though
    the more amplified solutions could support some threat for locally
    strong storms across mainly coastal regions of the Southeast into
    early next week.

    as the 30/00Z GFS) would support some strong-storm potential across
    parts of FL into the Coastal Carolinas, but the current consensus is
    for a persistent surface ridge to suppress inland low-level moisture
    return and limit the organized-severe threat.

    For D6/Tuesday and beyond, predictability decreases regarding the
    evolution of the upper pattern, but most guidance continues to
    depict a dearth of low-level moisture and instability across the
    CONUS through the middle of next week.

    West-northwesterly mid-level flow will be in place over the eastern
    two-thirds of the nation during the early to mid-week. Through this
    time, surface high pressure will remain dominant from the Great
    Plains eastward into the eastern U.S. Further west, a mid-level
    trough is forecast to move into California on Wednesday.
    Thunderstorms will be possible along the coast of California as the
    system moves inland.

    ...Thursday/Day 7 and Friday/Day 8...
    The West Coast mid-level trough is forecast to move quickly eastward
    across the Rockies on Thursday. Ahead of the system, isolated to
    scattered thunderstorms appear most likely Thursday afternoon and
    evening across parts of the southern and central Plains. A severe
    threat will be possible with this activity. Ahead of the mid-level
    trough, a severe threat may again develop over the Ozarks and mid
    Mississippi Valley on Friday. The severe threat on Thursday and
    Friday is expected to remain isolated, mainly due to relatively weak instability.

    ...Tuesday/Day 4 to Thursday/Day 6...
    From Tuesday into Wednesday, a mid-level ridge is forecast to move
    eastward into the central U.S., as a trough moves onto the West
    Coast. As the trough moves inland Wednesday afternoon, thunderstorms
    will be possible along the West Coast from northern California to
    Washington. This trough is forecast to move quickly eastward into
    the central Plains on Thursday. Isolated thunderstorms may develop
    Thursday night ahead of the trough in parts of the Ozarks and mid
    Mississippi Valley. The severe potential should remain limited due
    to weak instability ahead of the trough.

    ...Friday/Day 7 and Saturday/Day 8...
    As the mid-level trough progresses eastward into the Ohio Valley on
    Friday, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible during
    the day. A marginal severe threat will be possible, if enough
    instability can develop.

    On Saturday, a large-scale mid-level trough is forecast to form over
    the central U.S. Ahead of this feature, some low-level moisture is
    expected to return into the lower to mid Mississippi Valley.
    Although instability is forecast to be weak ahead of the system, an
    isolated severe threat would be possible across parts of the Ohio
    and Tennessee Valleys Saturday night. However, uncertainty is
    substantial at this extended range.

    A mid-level trough is forecast to move onto the West Coast on
    Wednesday. As the trough moves inland, thunderstorm development will
    be possible near the coast of northern California, Oregon and
    Washington. The mid-level trough is forecast to move quickly
    eastward into the central Plains on Thursday, and into the Ohio and
    Tennessee Valleys on Friday. From Thursday afternoon into Friday,
    thunderstorms will be possible from eastern parts of the central
    Plains into the mid Mississippi Valley. Ahead of the trough,
    low-level moisture return and the resultant instability is expected
    to be somewhat limited, suggesting the severe potential will remain
    minimal.

    ...Saturday/Day 7 and Sunday/Day 8...
    On Saturday, a large-scale mid-level trough is forecast to quickly
    take shape over the central U.S. Ahead of the trough, low-level
    moisture is forecast to return northward into the Ark-La-Tex and mid Mississippi Valley, where thunderstorms will be possible Saturday
    afternoon. Convective coverage is forecast to expand southeastward
    into the Ohio and Tennessee Valley Saturday night. Model forecasts
    suggest that moderate instability and strong deep-layer shear will
    be in place, which would support a severe threat from Saturday
    afternoon and evening. Concerning the potential for a severe weather
    event, uncertainty is substantial. Some solutions suggest that the
    favorable environment for severe will remain spatially focused into
    a small area, and that a front could undercut the convection. For
    this reason, will keep the forecast at "predictability too low".

    On Sunday, the system is forecast to move eastward across the lower
    to mid Mississippi Valley. Ahead of the trough, an isolated severe
    threat will be possible across parts of the Southeast and southern
    Atlantic Seaboard. However, uncertainty concerning the potential for
    severe storms is considerable at this range.

    ...Thursday/Day 4 to Saturday/Day 6...
    A mid-level trough is forecast to move quickly eastward into the
    Great Plains on Thursday, and into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on
    Friday. Ahead of the system, low-level moisture return is forecast
    to be limited. In spite of this, weak instability is expected to
    develop ahead of the trough as it progresses eastward across the
    central U.S. Thunderstorms will be possible ahead of the trough from
    the central Plains to the mid Mississippi Valley Thursday afternoon
    and evening, and into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on Friday. Any
    severe threat on these two days should remain isolated due to the
    lack of instability.

    On Saturday, a large-scale mid-level trough is forecast to dig
    southeastward into the Mississippi Valley. Ahead of the trough,
    low-level moisture return is expected to take place across much of
    the Southeast. Thunderstorm development is currently forecast along
    the northern edge of a moist airmass, in the Tennessee Valley
    Saturday afternoon and evening. A potential will exist for scattered
    severe storms. However, there is considerable uncertainty concerning
    the magnitude of any severe threat, and where the greatest threat
    will be. Some solutions suggest that most of the storms will be
    located to the north of the strongest instability, which would be
    problematic for a greater severe threat. At this time, will continue "predictability too low" for Saturday.

    ...Sunday/Day 7 and Monday/Day 8...
    On Sunday, the large-scale mid-level trough is forecast to move
    eastward into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, as a cold front
    advances into the Atlantic Coastal States. Thunderstorms will be
    possible ahead of the front during the afternoon from Georgia
    northward into the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic. An isolated severe
    threat will be possible, although uncertainty is substantial at this
    range. The front is forecast to move off the Atlantic Coast on
    Monday, reducing the potential for thunderstorms across the
    continental U.S.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    ...D4/Friday...
    An area-of-interest, sufficient for a Predictability Too Low
    highlight, appears centered on the OH Valley to Deep South. A
    large-scale mid/upper trough should consist of several embedded
    shortwave impulses progressing east from Hudson Bay through the
    central to eastern CONUS. Primary surface cyclone is expected to
    shift from the Upper Great Lakes into QC, with a trailing cold front
    to its southwest undergoing frontolysis in the TN Valley/Deep South
    by Friday night. Modified moisture return from the southern Gulf may
    support moderate buoyancy over the Lower MS Valley, with a plume of
    weak buoyancy extending into the OH/TN Valleys ahead of the front. A
    belt of strong mid-level westerlies will yield favorable deep-layer
    shear for organized severe potential. Latest GEFS-based SPC/NSSL ML
    probs have trended upward with severe indications, more aggressive
    than yesterday's available NCAR ECENS-based guidance. Overall setup
    may tend to favor a more mesoscale-driven 15% area given uncertainty
    on timing of convective development along the southwest extent of
    the weakening front and the degree of destabilization where ascent
    is stronger to the northeast.

    ...D6/Sunday...
    Substantial amplification of the next mid/upper trough is largely
    progged across the central to eastern states late Saturday through
    Sunday. This should induce more southerly cyclogenesis across the
    North-Central States into the Lower Great Lakes. With the D4 wave
    aiding in low-level moisture return from the southern Gulf, latest
    guidance indicates seasonably rich dew points may be more prevalent
    across the eastern Gulf and South Atlantic Coasts by late weekend.
    This signal distinctly lacks run-to-run continuity, but should
    foster at least low-probability severe potential across the
    Southeast Coastal Plain.

    ...DISCUSSION...
    Major amplification of the eastern CONUS upper trough appears likely
    this weekend, inducing more southerly cyclogenesis across the
    North-Central States into the Northeast. A pronounced surface
    anticyclone will drive an extensive ridge across the central states,
    aiding in progressive cold front movement across the Southeast late
    Saturday into Sunday. Ahead of this front, some potential for severe
    could yet evolve on D5/Sunday as flow fields strengthen atop a plume
    of seasonably rich surface dew points along the eastern Gulf and
    South Atlantic Coasts. However, most guidance indicates a fairly dry
    frontal passage in this region, amid low RH/weak lapse rates in the
    mid-levels.

    With a very amplified trough east/ridge west by D6/Monday and a
    continental airmass overspreading much of the Gulf, severe potential
    should be minimal early next week.
