...DISCUSSION...
Amplified mid-level flow will persist over the US through next week
with troughing generally over the East and a building ridge to the
West. This will favor continued northwesterly flow aloft and
reinforcement of an extensive cold air outbreak and Arctic high
pressure over the lower 48. With little to no inland moisture
transport expected over the next week, severe weather is unlikely.
