..DISCUSSION
SEVERE STORMS APPEAR UNLIKELY ACROSS THE CONUS FOR THE D4-8 PERIOD,
AS AN UPPER RIDGE HOLDS OVER THE SOUTHWEST WITH A MEAN UPPER TROUGH
OVER THE EAST. THIS PATTERN WILL KEEP A SURFACE HIGH OVER MUCH OF
THE EAST/SOUTHEAST CONUS, WITH NORTHERLY WINDS OVER THE GULF OF
AMERICA FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD.
MODELS DO INDICATE THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAY WEAKEN
INTO THE SAT/D7 AND SUN/D8 TIME FRAME, WITH PERHAPS THE PATTERN
TRENDING TOWARD ZONAL. EVEN SO, POTENTIAL FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT
INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP OVER LAND REMAINS MINIMAL.
