...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm probabilities are low today.

...Discussion...

Thunderstorm probabilities are less than 10 percent across the CONUS
today.

Strong upper trough is advancing inland along the Pacific Coast
early this morning. Substantial mid-level height falls will spread
across the Great Basin/southwestern US ahead of this feature as a
strong 500mb speed max translates into southern UT. Cooling profiles
and steepening lapse rates favor weak, shallow convection north of
the jet. However, buoyancy is forecast to be very weak and updrafts
should struggle to attain levels necessary for lightning discharge.

Strengthening/deepening offshore flow across the Carolinas favor the
primary focus for deep convection being well east of land by the
start of the period.
