Over the weekend, the pattern will consist of a large-scale trough over the northeastern U.S.. Multiple shortwave troughs are forecast to move eastward through the flow. A cold front appears likely to move from the mid Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys southward to near the Gulf Coast. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon ahead of the front. Deep-layer shear is expected to be too weak for a severe threat. Early next week, mid-level flow is forecast to be west-northwesterly over much of the nation. A relatively cool and dry airmass will be in place over most of the continental U.S. The exception could be along parts of the immediate Gulf Coast, where moisture and instability may be sufficient for thunderstorm development. The severe threat is expected to be minimal. ..Broyles.. 09/29/2026
