..DISCUSSION
MEDIUM-RANGE GUIDANCE GENERALLY INDICATES LOW-AMPLITUDE/WEAK UPPER
TROUGHING WILL PERSIST ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL U.S. THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, LARGE SPREAD EXISTS BETWEEN THE
CONTROL MEMBERS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF AND HOW THESE MODELS HANDLE THE
EVOLUTION OF A DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND
INTO THE PLAINS/MIDWEST AROUND DAYS 6-8/MON-WED. ENSEMBLE MEAN 500
MB FORECASTS ARE IN BETTER ALIGNMENT, INDICATING A STRONGER
LARGE-SCALE TROUGH WILL EMERGE OVER THE PLAINS AND MS VALLEY LATE IN
THE PERIOD, BRINGING A STRONGER AUTUMN COLD FRONT SOUTH/SOUTHEAST
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CENTRAL U.S. THIS COULD BRING SOME INCREASING
SEVERE POTENTIAL TO PORTIONS OF THE PLAINS MS VALLEY DURING THE
SECOND HALF OF THE FORECAST PERIOD, BUT GIVEN AFOREMENTIONED
UNCERTAINTY/LARGE SPREAD, IT IS UNCLEAR WHICH DAYS/LOCATIONS MAY
EXPERIENCE ANY INCREASING RISK.
