Regarding the end of next week...
During the Day 6-8 period, forecast model spread increases
considerably. However, a general trend indicating a deepening trough
across the West ejecting across the Plains toward the central U.S.
Thursday and Friday is apparent. Depending on the evolution of this
feature and any developing surface cyclone and attendant Gulf return
flow across the south-central U.S., an increase in severe
thunderstorm potential could develop. Large spread and poor
run-to-run consistency among various guidance precludes
probabilities at this time.
