...DISCUSSION...
Surface high pressure will build into the eastern CONUS this weekend
which will push a cold front south to near the Gulf Coast. Limited
instability in the wake of this front should limit severe weather
potential for many areas east of the Plains. As the upper-level
ridge weakens across the Plains by the end of the weekend, more
zonal flow across the Mountains will lead to weak lee troughing.
Southerly/southeasterly flow will result in some instability across
the High Plains. Mid-level flow will not be that strong, but should
be sufficient for some isolated severe weather potential. However,
predictability decreases significantly once the ridge breaks down
and therefore, it is unclear when or where a more organized severe
weather threat may occur.
