An upper low is forecast to drift very slowly northeastward across the Nebraska/South Dakota vicinity Day 4/Friday, while a second/weak disturbance moves out of northern Mexico into central and southern Texas. While thunderstorms -- and some severe potential -- will likely occur in the vicinity of these two features, risk appears too low to highlight with a 15% area at this time. For the remainder of the period, weak flow aloft is forecast across all but the Northeast/Great Lakes region, which should generally limit severe potential on the broader scale. As a blocking high develops over western North America and lingers through the medium range, eastern U.S. troughing will gradually evolve. While this increase in troughing -- and the magnitude of the upper flow field -- could lead to some increase in potential for severe weather through latter stages of the period, differences amongst the models suggest limited predictability of the pattern evolution.
