   ...DISCUSSION...
   Models are in good agreement with the general pattern on Mon/D4,
   depicting a midlevel speed max nosing into the central Plains Monday
   morning, then phasing with an upper trough over the northern Plains.
   This should then result in an amplified shortwave trough moving
   across the Midwest and Great Lakes through Tue/D5 morning. An
   associated cold front will shunt the young moist plume back south
   toward the Gulf Coast.

   This trough is then expected to eject northeastward toward Quebec
   into Tue/D5, with a zonal flow regime across the CONUS on Wed/D6,
   with slow moisture return.

   Beyond this time frame, subtle differences exist regarding how
   quickly the pattern may amplify, as ridging occurs over the West,
   and a possible trough develops from the southern Plains into the
   southeastern states. Any appreciable low-level moisture return and
   destabilization would likely be tied to such a trough amplification,
   which is low predictability. In short, a non-zero threat of severe
   storms may develop over parts of the Gulf Coast states, Thu/D7 into
   Fri/D8, as moisture increases and flow aloft remains strong.
