...DISCUSSION...
Thunderstorm chances will likely be limited on D4/Thursday and
D5/Friday as airmass over the CONUS remains too cold and dry. Some
airmass modification may begin across the southern Plains late
d5/Friday or early D6/Saturday as a shortwave trough progresses
across the western CONUS. As the upper pattern trends more zonal
across the central CONUS, surface lee troughing will sharpen, with
low-level flow forecast to strengthen amid the increasing surface

trends suggests some severe potential may materialize late this
