DAY 4-8 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0347 AM CDT THU OCT 01 2009
VALID 041200Z - 091200Z
...DISCUSSION...
SUBSTANTIAL VARIATION IS NOTED IN THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS THIS
FORECAST...WITH DECENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF ONLY
EVIDENT INTO DAY 5. BOTH MODELS MAINTAIN A NEARLY STATIONARY UPPER
LOW OVER THE GREAT BASIN DAY 4 /SUN. OCT. 4/...WHICH THEN EVOLVES
INTO A LARGE/POSITIVELY TILTED MID-LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING ACROSS THE
NRN AND WRN CONUS INTO DAY 5.
MODELS THEN BEGIN TO DIFFER IN HANDLING OF THIS TROUGH AND ITS
SMALLER-SCALE COMPONENTS...WHICH HAS SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON THE
DOWNSTREAM CYCLOGENESIS INITIALLY EVOLVING IN LEE OF THE ROCKIES
OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. WHILE SOME SEVERE THREAT APPEARS
POSSIBLE DAYS 4 AND 5 OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS...THREAT DOES NOT
APPEAR SUFFICIENT ATTM TO WARRANT INTRODUCTION OF A THREAT AREA.
FROM LATE DAY 5 ONWARD...MODEL DIFFERENCES BECOME INCREASINGLY
SIGNIFICANT...AND THIS APPARENT LACK OF PREDICTABILITY PRECLUDES THE
INCLUSION OF ANY THREAT AREAS THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD.
