...DISCUSSION...
A persistent large-scale upper-level trough is forecast to remain
over the east-central U.S. during the Day 4 to 8 period. This
pattern will be favorable for repeated cold air intrusions into the
continental U.S late this week into early next week. As a result,
cool and dry conditions are expected to remain in place over much of
the nation, making thunderstorm development unlikely in most areas.
No severe threat is forecast to develop over the continental U.S.
through early next week.
