Day 4-8 Convective Outlook

...DISCUSSION...
A progressive pattern at mid/upper levels is forecast through the
extended forecast period. An upper trough/low should move quickly
eastward across the Great Lakes, OH Valley, Northeast, and
Mid-Atlantic on Day 4/Thursday. A cold front is also expected to
shift quickly eastward parts of these regions. Minimal instability
is currently shown by medium-range guidance ahead of the front,
owing mainly to poor low and mid-level lapse rates. Therefore,
severe potential Thursday afternoon ahead of the front appears low.
Another upper trough should amplify and shift eastward across the
western CONUS and into the Plains from Day 4/Thursday into Day
5/Friday. There is still variability with the amplitude of this
feature by Day 5/Friday, which impacts the degree of low-level mass
response and moisture return across the Plains. Some severe risk may
ultimately develop Friday evening/night across part of the central
Plains, but this threat may remain rather isolated. There is
currently too much uncertainty regarding instability and the
evolution of the upper trough to include any probabilities for
organized severe thunderstorms.
Differences regarding the evolution of the upper trough across the
Plains and eastern CONUS become much more pronounced from Day
6/Saturday onward. Still, depending on low-level moisture return,
there may be isolated severe potential across parts of the southern
Plains into the lower MS Valley, TN Valley, and Southeast next
weekend into early next week ahead of a cold front. However, overall
predictability remains far too low to include any areas at this
time.
