- Progressive Pattern Becomes More Amplified Late Week

No impact weather expected this week as a fast, quasi-zonal flow regime holds sway through mid week. Then a clipper associated with a digging northern stream shortwave trough will bring some rain and snow showers Thursday as it merges with an upper low over eastern Canada. This will lead to a more highly amplified pattern across the CONUS by next weekend, with strong northerly flow bringing lake effect rain and snow showers and cool temperatures for Friday and Saturday.
