Quiet Weekend Ahead But What Comes Next...

Pattern of the season potential developing starting midweek next week.

I joked within our Titans chat that if the late April run wasn’t the pattern of the season, then this storm season would go down as one of the better ones in terms of storm chasing quality.

And as we gaze into the mid-range, it is possible that an even more potent pattern is on tap.

But First, Quiet

A ridge is building in, and a cut-off low-pressure system is spinning out over the SE US. Both of these will lead to a warm and pleasant weekend, with most areas on the Plains and even into the Southwest mainly remaining dry.

The weekend pattern looks…nice?

But that nice pattern will end. The ridge will flatten and shift east, bringing a monster set of troughing coming up next.

Next Week…

By Tuesday, the cut-off low will end up flattening a bit and being shoved east by emerging troughing in the west.
