..DISCUSSION
ON SUNDAY/D4, THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER PARTS OF THE OH
VALLEY INTO THE APPALACHIANS, AND PERHAPS AS FAR SOUTH AS THE TN
VALLEY, AS AN UPPER TROUGH AMPLIFIES ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY AND
INTO THE GREAT LAKES. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO EXTEND
SOUTHWESTWARD FROM A LOW OVER NY/PA, WITH PERHAPS LOWER 60S F
DEWPOINTS AND MUCAPE ON THE ORDER OF 500-1500 J/KG POSSIBLE. MODELS
APPEAR TO HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF INSTABILITY VALUES FOR SUNDAY, AND AS
SUCH PREDICTABILITY IS LOW. HOWEVER, THERE IS AT LEAST SOME
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO PERHAPS A FEW SEVERE STORMS OVER THE MID TO
UPPER OH VALLEY. THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR A MARGINAL SETUP
GIVEN THE NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN AND MODEST-MOISTURE-CONTENT WARM
SECTOR.
THIS FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH TOWARD THE GULF COAST ON MONDAY/D5, WITH
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN TO THE NORTH. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST ON MONDAY, WITH ANOTHER POSSIBLY AMPLIFYING
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES/NORTHEAST TUESDAY/D6 INTO WEDNESDAY/D7. AS
THIS OCCURS, AN UPPER RIDGE IS LIKELY TO EXIST ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST,
WITH LITTLE OVERALL SEVERE POTENTIAL FOR THOSE DAYS.
