.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0954 AM CST Thu Nov 06 2025/

...Synopsis...
A low-amplitude, progressive flow regime will characterize the upper
pattern today across the Lower 48 states. A mid-level trough
featuring a few vorticity maxima will consolidate and amplify as
this trough moves across the northern Great Plains into the Upper
Midwest by early Friday morning. In the low levels, a cyclone will
deepen during the period and move across the ND/MN vicinity to the
Upper Peninsula of MI. A strengthening warm conveyor will probably
result in isolated thunderstorm activity tonight across the mid MS
Valley into the southern Great Lakes before a cold front sweeps
east.

Elsewhere, intermittent showers and isolated thunderstorms will
accompany a potent 500-mb speed max forecast to move east from the
eastern Pacific into the Pacific Northwest. A low-latitude
disturbance is forecast to eject across the southern Gulf of America
toward south Florida late in the period. This feature should
encourage a weak surface trough to focus near the south Florida
Atlantic Coast. Scattered convection is expected to develop
near/east of this boundary during the overnight hours.
