Stormy Outlook For Halloween?

Chilly air across much of the central and eastern U.S. has kept a lid on the potential for severe weather the past few days, but that is now changing as the jet stream pattern undergoes a major shift across the country.
(MORE: Fall is a Second Severe Weather Season)
The jet stream – the band of winds some 30,000 feet aloft that influences large-scale weather patterns – has plunged southward across the western states the last few days and is now headed for the nation's midsection. Meanwhile, southerly winds will start to bring moist air from the Gulf of Mexico northward into the southern and central Plains and eventually parts of the Midwest and Southeast.
Eventually, as the disturbance in the West starts to push east into the moist unstable air, severe thunderstorms are likely to develop. The questions are exactly where, when, and how much – and there are still some uncertainties in that part of the forecast.
