WHAT HAS CHANGED
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE.
KEY MESSAGES
1. UNSETTLED WEATHER RETURNS LATE THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. SEVERE
AND FLASH FLOODING IMPACTS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.
2. HOTTER TEMPERATURES PROBABLE FOR NEXT WEEK. TOO EARLY FOR HIGH
CONFIDENCE REGRADING POTENTIAL HEAT IMPACTS.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1
WEAK LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES ON THURSDAY TRACKS EAST AND
PASSES TO OUR NORTH ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL SEND A WARM FRONT THROUGH
THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT, FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT MOST LIKELY DURING
FRIDAY NIGHT. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE COLD FRONT THEN
PASSES TO OUR SOUTH ON SATURDAY.
SHOWERS POSSIBLE AS EARLY AS LATE DAY/EARLY EVENING THURSDAY, BUT
MOST LIKELY DURING THURSDAY NIGHT AND ONCE AGAIN DURING FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY SATURDAY. CAPE AND SHEAR PROFILES ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF
SEVERE WEATHER DURING THE ENTIRE PERIOD, BUT PERHAPS THERE'S SOME
STRONG WIND GUST POTENTIAL IN ANYTHING THE MANAGES TO PUSH IN FROM
THE WEST BY SUNSET THURSDAY. STRONG GUSTS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN ANY
THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.
NO STRONG SIGNALS YET FOR FLASH FLOODING DURING THE PERIOD. PWATS
FORECAST TO INCREASE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. MODELS GENERALLY
KEEP THE DEEPEST MOISTURE NOT TOO FAR TO OUR SOUTH, SO TRENDS
REGARDING HOW FAR SOUTH THE COLD FRONT SAGS DURING THIS PERIOD NEED
TO BE MONITORED. THE AFOREMENTIONED WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE
FRONT COULD END UP FARTHER NORTH AND INCREASE THE FLOODING
POTENTIAL.
KEY MESSAGE 2
MODELS GENERALLY AGREE WITH A LONGWAVE RIDGE BUILDING TO OUR WEST
DURING TUESDAY. JUST HOW CLOSE THE RIDGE AXIS GETS TO US BEFORE
BREAKING DOWN IS IN QUESTION. GIVEN PROGGED GLOBAL MODEL AND LREF
850MB TEMPS, ALONG WITH UNCERTAINTY REGARDING ANY POTENTIAL
CONVECTION SPILLING OVER THE RIDGE INTO OUR AREA, AGREE WITH WPCS
DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT FROM NBM FOR TUESDAY'S HIGH TEMPERATURES.
TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS WOULD LIKELY FALL SHORT OF ANY
ADVISORY THRESHOLDS, BUT GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF AN EVENT 7 DAYS
AWAY, TRENDS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED, ESPECIALLY FOR LATER ON IN THE
WEEK WHEN THE HEAT MAY BUILD FURTHER.
