...DISCUSSION...
While models differ their handling of the remnants of Harvey through
the medium-range period, they remain otherwise broadly similar in
handling of the general larger-scale pattern evolution -- with
gradual amplification of a western ridge/eastern trough
configuration.  

Prior to the main amplification of the eastern trough, a
shorter-wavelength trough is forecast to exit the northern Rockies
and move slowly east/east-southeast across the northern Plains, and
then the Great Lakes region.  Little if any severe risk is evident
Day 4 (Wednesday), but could increase a bit over the north-central
U.S. Days 5-6 and possibly beyond as the system advances.  The GFS
and ECMWF show timing differences with the surface features
associated with this system however, as well as substantial
differences in potential for destabilization (the GFS being much
more unstable than the ECMWF).  As such, uncertainty precludes
highlighting of any risk areas through the period.
