Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0320 AM CDT Thu Jun 25 2020 Valid 281200Z - 031200Z ...DISCUSSION... Medium-range models are in decent agreement for much of the period over the east, with both the GFS and ECMWF depicting an upper low which drifts south from eastern Canada into the Northeast, and then lingers over the region as a low/trough for most if not all of the period. Farther west, however, variance between the models in terms of the upper flow field exists even from early in the period, with the smaller-scale features embedded in the broader flow. With time, even the evolution of the larger features -- namely an upper trough over the western U.S. -- is handled quite differently. The GFS depicts a substantial piece of the trough ejecting eastward across the Rockies and into the central Plains Days 5-6, while the ECMWF maintains a more cohesive trough over the West, with only minor perturbations ejecting east into the central CONUS. Overall, severe risk appears likely to remain relatively limited across the U.S., with no obvious, larger, organized severe weather events apparent at this time. But given the aforementioned differences between the models suggesting lack of predictability with the evolution of the western U.S. trough, uncertainty remains high with respect to convective potential through the period.Read more
