Day 4-8 Convective Outlook 
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0340 AM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024

Valid 291200Z - 031200Z

...DISCUSSION...
A low-amplitude upper-level ridge will be centered over the central
CONUS on Monday and is forecast to slowly amplify through the week.
As this occurs, northwest flow will strengthen from the northern
Plains to the western Great Lakes and Midwest with high quality
moisture in place. Severe weather may be possible during this period
(most likely D5/Tue to D7/Thu). Most guidance shows convective
precipitation signals and likely MCSs each afternoon, but based on
the timing and amplitude of shortwave trough passages within the
northwesterly flow, the uncertainty in location remains too high at
this time to introduce probabilities.

Farther east, an unusual progression of the upper-air pattern
appears increasingly likely with a developing upper low over the
Gulf Stream retrograding into New England on Monday and Tuesday.
This general progression has been supported by the last several runs
of the GFS and ECMWF and an even farther west shift occurred with
the 00z ECMWF and EC ensemble which would bring an even larger warm
sector onshore. This will need to monitored for the potential for at
least some severe weather activity.
