VALID 171200Z - 221200Z

...DISCUSSION...
AS A MID-LEVEL SHORT-WAVE TROUGH MOVES QUICKLY OFFSHORE EARLY IN THE
PERIOD...A RIDGE SHOULD EXPAND ACROSS THE SRN 2/3 OF THE CONUS WITH
AN ENHANCED BELT OF ZONAL/WLY FLOW EVOLVING N OF THE RIDGE ACROSS
THE NRN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY. THIS SUGGESTS RELATIVELY LIMITED
POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD/ACTIVE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL.

WITH TIME...MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS AGREE IN GENERAL WITH GRADUAL
PATTERN AMPLIFICATION...AS AN ERN PACIFIC TROUGH BEGINS TO MOVE INTO
THE WRN CONUS. LITTLE ORGANIZED SEVERE THREAT IS EVIDENT THROUGH
DAY 6 /SUN. 9-19/...AFTER WHICH MODELS BEGIN DIFFERING AS MORE SWLY
FLOW ALOFT ADVANCES SLOWLY EWD ACROSS THE ROCKIES/TOWARD THE PLAINS
AHEAD OF THE WRN TROUGH. THIS FASTER SWLY FLOW ALOFT -- AND
POTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED FEATURES DRIVING LEE CYCLOGENESIS -- COULD
SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN SEVERE POTENTIAL ACROSS THE PLAINS...BUT ATTM
UNCERTAINTY/MODEL DIFFERENCES PRECLUDE ANY ATTEMPT AT DELINEATING
POTENTIALLY GREATER THREAT AREAS.
