Models are in good agreement with the general pattern on Mon/D4, depicting a midlevel speed max nosing into the central Plains Monday morning, then phasing with an upper trough over the northern Plains. This should then result in an amplified shortwave trough moving across the Midwest and Great Lakes through Tue/D5 morning. An associated cold front will shunt the young moist plume back south toward the Gulf Coast. This trough is then expected to eject

The precipitation associated with this system, combined with seasonal temperatures over the next several days, will limit fuel concerns across the northern/northeastern CONUS. A breakdown of the upper ridge over the central U.S. will transition

SPC Nov 21, 2024 Day 4-8 Severe Weather Outlook

Day 4-8 Outlook Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0345 AM CST Thu Nov 21 2024 Valid 241200Z - 291200Z ...DISCUSSION... Models indicate a relatively strong zonal pattern over much of the CONUS for Sun/D4 into Mon/D5, with a shortwave trough skirting the Great Lakes area. Then, through the Thu/D8 period, there is a possibility of a low-amplitude trough amplification within this strong belt of flow, moving across the southern Plains and Southeast. Predictability for this later scenario is low at this time, as there is little run-to-run consistency. However, the air mass over the western
