US 7-10 Day Outlook: Monsoonal Energy Eases, Transfers East Next 5 Days

Written by on August 5, 2014 in United States of America with 0 Comments

Following a record cold start to August over parts of the Southeast and West, the pattern shifts through this week. A pronounced monsoonal flow out of Mexico which has produced flash flooding across many parts of the Desert region of late, eases. High pressure and heat rebuilds over Texas and spreads eastward this week so areas extending from Texas to the Carolinas return to more typical early August conditions with highs returning to the 90s once again.

However, the upper energy currently fuelling the Western thunderstorms will begin to round the Southern Plains ridge and while it heats up further east into the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, it’s a temporary warm-up as the upper low swings into the Midwest and East by this upcoming weekend bringing the return of cool, rather wet conditions from Chicago down to Charlotte and Atlanta.

Here’s the GFS surface chart through the next 7 days and note the shift is moisture from west to east.
