...DISCUSSION...
Upper ridging will persist over the Plains through at least Day
5/Fri, while upper troughing develops over the East. Surface high
pressure and a cold front offshore the Atlantic and Gulf coasts will
preclude severe thunderstorm potential due to a mainly dry and
stable airmass east of the Rockies.

By Day 6/Sat and beyond, most medium-range guidance depicts a more
progressive upper pattern, with one or more upper troughs developing
across the West and into the Plains. As this occurs, surface lee
troughing and cyclogenesis over the northern Plains late in the
period should allow for some meager Gulf return flow/increasing
moisture. However, severe potential still appears low given any more
appreciable moisture return likely will still be offset from
stronger deep-layer flow and large-scale ascent focused over the
central/northern Plains.
