Medium-range model output suggests that initially northwest flow across much of Canada will transition to a more zonal regime, while a belt of westerlies emanating from the mid-latitude Pacific remains a prominent influence across much of the U.S. through the middle and latter portions of next week.

An additional perturbation or two may follow within this stream, inland across the Pacific coast and through the U.S. by early next weekend. However, models indicate little in the way of substantive surface cyclogenesis and inland return flow of moisture off the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in the maintenance of generally stable conditions and low convective potential.
