AS A NOR'EASTER SPINS NEAR NEW ENGLAND TODAY, BROAD SUPPRESSED
RIDGING OVER THE GULF COAST AND SOUTHERN PLAINS IS STILL THE
DOMINANT FEATURE IN OUR REGION. LATEST GUIDANCE SUPPORTS THE
RIDGE BUILDING MORE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD INTO NEXT WEEK AS A CUT OFF
LOW AND REMNANTS OF CURRENT EAST PACIFIC HURRICANE POLO AFFECT THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST REGION. WITH IT APPEARING THAT THE RIDGE MAY
HOLD ON MORE RESOLUTELY, THE SLOWER RANGE OF GUIDANCE WITH REGARDS
TO ADVANCING THIS LOW/TROUGH TO THE EAST LOOK MORE LIKELY.
OFFICIAL GUIDANCE HAS POPS RETURNING TO PARTS OF THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY, BUT SLOWER EASTWARD MOVEMENT COULD PUSH APPRECIABLE
RAIN CHANCES TO LATE WEEK OR EVEN THE WEEKEND. THAT WILL ALSO BE
WHEN A SURGE OF TROPICAL MOISTURE MOVES IN FROM THE CARIBBEAN, SO
WE COULD BE SETTING UP FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WITH A SLOW MOVING FRONT
IN THE REGION. CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR UPDATES AS WE MOVE TO THE
LATER HALF OF NEXT WEEK IF HAZARDOUS SEVERE WEATHER OR HEAVY
RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING BECOME POSSIBLE. /NF/
