...DISCUSSION...
An uptick in severe thunderstorm potential is expected through the
upcoming work week and heading into next weekend. Long-range
ensemble guidance continues to show a strong signal for a return to
mean troughing across the western to central CONUS as a long-wave
ridge gradually de-amplifies and shifts east. This upper-level flow
regime will promote steady lee troughing/cyclogenesis along the High
Plains, which in conjunction with the placement of a surface high
off the East Coast, will promote moisture return northward into the
Plains and MS Valley. Strong to severe thunderstorms appear possible
multiple days next week as ascent associated with upper disturbances
embedded within the mean flow regime overspread the moisture plume.

...D4/Monday - Upper Mississippi Valley...
A low-amplitude upper wave is forecast to traverse the U.S./Canadian
border during the D4/Monday to D5/Tuesday time frame. As this
occurs, surface cyclogenesis is expected across the northern Plains.
A broad swath of isentropic ascent with in the warm conveyor of the
developing cyclone will likely support showers and isolated to
scattered thunderstorms across portions of the upper MS Valley late
Monday. A few deterministic solutions, notably the recent 00z ECMWF,
hint that the convective environment will be conducive for organized
convection, including the potential for elevated supercells.
However, ensemble agreement regarding this potential is limited.

...D5/Tuesday - Lake Michigan Vicinity...
Confidence is gradually increasing in a regional severe weather
threat across parts of the upper Great Lakes for D5/Tuesday. Over
the past 24 hours, model guidance has come into somewhat better
agreement regarding the timing and evolution of the northern Plains
surface low through as it translates east and intensifies across the
Great Lakes region Tuesday into early Wednesday. Above-seasonal
moisture return northward into the Great Lakes region is anticipated
by late Tuesday, which should support adequate buoyancy for deep
convection. Thunderstorm development appears likely along a trailing
cold front as it pushes southeast into the Midwest and MS Valley.
Based on ensemble guidance, the best convective environment may
reside across the Lake Michigan vicinity where mid/upper-level flow
should be stronger in vicinity to the upper jet and may be more
orthogonal to the front and supportive of more robust convection
compared to locations further south.

Despite the trend towards a more consolidated solution, notable
discrepancies remain pertaining to the propagation speed of the
upper wave and surface low, which introduces uncertainty in how
favorably timed the strongest ascent will be with peak
heating/destabilization and potential storm modes. These
uncertainties preclude probabilities at this time, but highlights
will likely be introduced as model consensus improves.
