Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 13 Administrators Share Posted January 13 Day 4-8 Outlook Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0303 AM CST Sat Jan 13 2024 Valid 161200Z - 211200Z ...DISCUSSION... Severe thunderstorm potential will remain low during the Day 4-8 period as a generally cold and stable airmass prevails over much of the CONUS. An upper ridge over the West on Day 4/Tue will weaken as it shifts east toward the Rockies/High Plains vicinity. In the wake of the eroding upper ridge, a series of shortwave troughs will migrate across the western U.S., reinforcing persistent troughing over the Plains and eastern states. At the surface, strong high pressure will migrate east from the Rockies and Plains to the eastern U.S. through Day 6/Thu. Meanwhile, a weak surface trough/low is forecast to develop over the central/southern High Plains mid-week. This may allow for some modest moisture return across parts of the Gulf Coast ahead of another arctic cold front mid-to-late in the week. However, higher-quality moisture will likely remain offshore, limiting thunderstorm potential. Read more View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
