7/12 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Four Verticals” Friday Morning Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

A shallow trough is in place between highs extending from the Great Lakes to near the Missouri/Arkansas border. This pattern is relatively typical for summer with diurnally driven convection expected. With such little change in the synoptic pattern from yesterday to today, not much a reason think storms would develop in much different areas. Weather models show an upper level ridge building across the northern Gulf Coast this weekend as the trough lifts northward and shifts east. This will allow for both slightly warmer temps and higher dewpoints to develop
