Slight Weather risk for sunday. Interesting Feature to dig in

Slight Threat On sunday in upper USA
 
The Cut of flow is expected to Join the Main Stream Across west-east USA.
The areas where the trough is expected to remain will be near the Lakes area in Usa
 
Ahead of this feature,Little Instability is present in the upper atmosphere which might generate some thunderstorms.SPC SAYS 15% risk in the lake area,
 
another Unique feature will be seen on sunday morning when the pacific north west trough will dig in the Central Plains of USA. the atlantic south-east trough is also expected to enter the east coasts of USA. A similar Trough setup of tornadoes is there but there is poor moisture and instablity in the atmosphere, so Less scope for tornadoes and some scope for thunderstorms around the lake area.

Weather Deterioration less for Monday in Western us. Good in Ok,Kansas

Chance of Weather deterioration for monday quiet less in Western Usa

The North-west Pacific trough is expected to enter the North-Central Parts of USA Sunday night <usa time>
this trough has low chance of creating weather disturbances in the western parts as the cold fronts from the north will cover areas.
This will aggravate the Trough and when it will reach the central plains they are likely to get detached from the Main pacific trough.

The temperatures in the central USA for monday morning,monday night<us time> is Warm 60 F quiet favourable for storms

Ahead of this the chance of squall lines is more. A squall line is a line of severe thunderstorms that can form along and/or ahead of a cold front.

so Nebraska has good scope for weather severe.Circular motions of troughs is already approaching
Oklahoma East and kansas east have rising 0-1000m EHI's
tornado probability prevalent
