Some Flow Slides South This Week

We could see a small chance of severe storms on the C/S Plains.

A ‘cold front’ will slide south this week, riding cyclonic flow around a prominent ridge in the Western U.S. These two factors should increase shear and lift, leading to a chance of some severe storms as soon as Wednesday/Thursday this week.

This weak flow around the eastern edge of the ridge is a classic signal of an increased risk of severe storms, with shear increasing just enough to support some storm organization.
