...Synopsis...
Northwesterly flow aloft will continue across the eastern half of
the CONUS today in the wake of a trough passage off the East Coast.
A second low amplitude shortwave/upper-level jet over the Ohio
Valley will reinforce dry offshore flow at the surface across the
eastern half of the country. The limited surface moisture and lack
of stronger forcing for ascent will keep thunderstorm chances very
low. To the west, another low-amplitude shortwave trough moving
onshore across the Pacific Northwest will support scattered showers
and shallow convection through the day. However, warm temperatures
aloft and the resulting poor thermodynamics will likely not support
thunderstorms.
