.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1010 AM CST Sun Jan 12 2025/

...Synopsis and Discussion...
Large-scale upper troughing will persist over much of the CONUS
today, with meager low-level moisture limiting thunderstorm
potential over a large majority of the country. One exception may be
along/near the coast from far southeast LA to the western FL
Panhandle vicinity. A weak surface low is forecast to develop across
the northwest to north-central Gulf tonight. Increasing low-level
moisture and warm advection may support weak MUCAPE and isolated
thunderstorm potential across this region through early Monday
morning. However, it still appears likely that appreciable
surface-based instability and greater thunderstorm chances will
remain mostly offshore.
