..DISCUSSION
THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH BROAD TROUGHING ACROSS THE
EASTERN US AND A SURFACE LOW TRACKING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES. A COLD FRONT WILL STRETCH FROM THE NORTHEASTERN US SOUTHWARD
INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS, SHIFTING EASTWARD ON D5/FRIDAY ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN US. BEYOND D5/FRIDAY, HEIGHTS WILL
BEGIN TO RISE ACROSS THE PLAINS AS AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH STRENGTHENS,
WHICH WILL LIMIT THE SEVERE THREAT THROUGH THE END OF THE EXTENDED.
..D5/FRIDAY - TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEY
ON D5/FRIDAY, THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED ALONG THE COLD
FRONT ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE SOUTHERN
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. MODEL SOLUTIONS DIFFER ON HOW MUCH INSTABILITY
WILL BE AVAILABLE ACROSS TENNESSEE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY, WHERE THE
STRONGEST FLOW ALOFT WILL RESIDE. THERE APPEARS TO BE LITTLE OVERLAP
BETWEEN THE BETTER FLOW ALOFT AND ANY MEANINGFUL INSTABILITY, WHICH
KEEPS PROBABILITIES TOO LOW TO INCLUDE AREAS IN THE EXTENDED.
HOWEVER, SOME INSTANCES OF WIND AND HAIL FROM STRONGER STORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF TENNESSEE INTO OHIO.
..D6/SATURDAY - SOUTHWEST TEXAS
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE DRYLINE IN
SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS ON D6/SATURDAY. DURING THIS PERIOD, HEIGHTS ALOFT
WILL BE RISING, WHICH WILL LIKELY WORK TO LIMIT OVERALL COVERAGE OF
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. NONETHELESS, A FEW ISOLATED SUPERCELLS MAY
DEVELOP WITH POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND SEVERE WIND. OVERALL,
LIMITED COVERAGE DOES NOT WARRANT INCLUSION OF PROBABILITIES.
