...DISCUSSION...
...Tuesday/Day 4 to Thursday/Day 6...
From Tuesday into Wednesday, a mid-level ridge is forecast to move
eastward into the central U.S., as a trough moves onto the West
Coast. As the trough moves inland Wednesday afternoon, thunderstorms
will be possible along the West Coast from northern California to
Washington. This trough is forecast to move quickly eastward into
the central Plains on Thursday. Isolated thunderstorms may develop
Thursday night ahead of the trough in parts of the Ozarks and mid
Mississippi Valley. The severe potential should remain limited due
to weak instability ahead of the trough.

...Friday/Day 7 and Saturday/Day 8...
As the mid-level trough progresses eastward into the Ohio Valley on
Friday, isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible during
the day. A marginal severe threat will be possible, if enough
instability can develop.

On Saturday, a large-scale mid-level trough is forecast to form over
the central U.S. Ahead of this feature, some low-level moisture is
expected to return into the lower to mid Mississippi Valley.
Although instability is forecast to be weak ahead of the system, an
isolated severe threat would be possible across parts of the Ohio
and Tennessee Valleys Saturday night. However, uncertainty is
substantial at this extended range.
