Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0351 AM CST Sat Dec 19 2020 Valid 221200Z - 271200Z ...DISCUSSION... Medium-range guidance continues to forecast significant amplification of a shortwave trough moving out of the Pacific Northwest D4/Tuesday. Forecast guidance suggests this shortwave deepens as it moves over the Plains on D5/Wednesday and continues maturing over the eastern CONUS on D6/Thursday. Very strong mid-level flow will develop around this upper trough, with a very deep surface low and strong cold front also anticipated.
