SYNOPTIC PATTERN WILL BE DOMINATED BY A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN THE NEXT 
7 DAYS. INITIAL H5 TROUGH HAS EXITED THE LOWER MS VALLEY TO BE 
FOLLOWED BY RIDGING OVER THE ROCKIES WILL BE PROGRESSIVE INTO THE 
PLAINS BY LATE THU AND THEN PATTERN WILL FLATTEN TO A ZONAL FLOW. 
A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL DIG ESE INTO THE WRN U.S. AND 
EVENTUALLY CARVE OUT A BROAD LONG-WAVE TROUGH IN THE CENTRAL PART OF 
THE NATION. INITIAL DISTURBANCE MOVING ENE OUT OF MAIN TROUGH IS NOT 
LIKELY TO BRING A FRONT SOUTH TO THE GULF. HOWEVER A STRONGER 
DISTURBANCE WILL LIKELY BRING A FRONT SE INTO THE GULF ALONG WITH A 
GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS MAINLY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MON NIGHT.
AIRMASS FOLLOWING THIS FRONT IS LIKELY TO HAVE TEMPS ABOUT THE SAME AS
