KEY MESSAGES

- Showers and thunderstorms are likely Monday. A few storms could become strong, with the primary hazards being lightning and small hail.

..Synopsis

A persistent and strong upper low is expected to remain in place over the Hudson Bay region through much of next week. Occasional shortwaves traverse the upper flow into the Northern Plains, with chances for showers and thunderstorms nearly each day next week. Ensemble guidance shows pattern confidence; however, timing is less certain due to shortwave speed and strength. At this time, the best chances for precipitation will be Monday and Wednesday, but there are lower chances nearly each day. Looking into Monday, there is a chance that a few storms could become strong as there will be enough MUCAPE in the presence of strong lapse rates to allow a mention of small hail.
