...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for severe thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Sunday through Sunday night.
...Discussion...
Latest model output indicates little change from prior runs
concerning the large-scale pattern evolution through this period.
It still appears that amplified troughing within the mid-latitude
westerlies will continue to slowly advance inland of the North
American Pacific coast. As this occurs, downstream ridging across
the Canadian Prairies likely will become more amplified, while flow
farther east trends broadly cyclonic across the eastern Canadian
provinces through the northwestern Atlantic.
Within the southern mid- and subtropical latitudes to the south and
east of this regime, shorter wavelength developments within
generally weak flow remain more unclear due to model
spread. However, broad, weak mid-level troughing may continue to
shift east-northeast of the lower Colorado Valley through the
southern Rockies, while large-scale weak mid-level troughing lingers
across the Southeast, to the southeast of developing high over the
Midwest. At the same time, a pair of evolving tropical cyclones may
continue to progress west-northwestward across parts of the
southwestern Atlantic through Bahamas vicinity, to the southwest of
a notable high centered near Bermuda.
Similar to Saturday, due to generally weak deep-layer mean wind
fields and rather modest to weak diurnal destabilization, the risk
for severe thunderstorms across the U.S. appears negligible.
However, scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorm development
appears probable across parts of the Intermountain West and Rockies,
as well as across parts of the Southeast.
