.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1100 AM CDT Fri Oct 25 2024/

...Synopsis and Discussion...
A modestly amplified and progressive large-scale pattern will
persist over the CONUS today, including the deamplification of an
eastward-moving shortwave trough over the Midwest/OH Valley. A
surface cold front will similarly continue east-southeastward across
the OH Valley/Mid-South toward the Appalachians and TN Valley
through tonight. Isolated thunderstorms should continue this
afternoon across the Ozarks near the cold front, and also
northeastward into IN/OH to the north of a warm front across the
lower OH Valley. Weak/thin buoyancy and meager effective shear
within the more unstable warm sector are expected to limit severe
thunderstorm potential through the period. Occasional lightning
flashes may also occur across parts of the U.P. in MI and adjacent
Lake Superior this evening/tonight as cold mid-level temperatures
associated with an upper trough support weak instability.
