064 ACUS48 KWNS 040842 SWOD48 SPC AC 040841 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0341 AM CDT Fri Jul 04 2025 Valid 071200Z - 121200Z ...DISCUSSION... An upper ridge will gradually build over the Southwest while mainly zonal mid-level flow persists over the northern CONUS through next week. A relatively nebulous surface pattern will be the norm through the extended range. Rich low-level moisture will overspread the CONUS east of the Rockies Days 4-8/next Monday-Friday, supporting scattered thunderstorm development over much of the Great Plains into the MS Valley, and the Southeast into the Northeast. The best chance for at least isolated strong to potentially severe storms in the upcoming week would be across the north-central CONUS. Here, the low-level moisture will advect northward beneath relatively cooler temperatures and modest northwesterly flow/shear aloft. However, given the nebulous and weakly forced environment, confidence is too low to delineate severe probabilities over the north-central U.S. for any given day. ..Squitieri.. 07/04/2025
