...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected today.

...Discussion...

Broad northwesterly flow at mid levels will maintain offshore flow
along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. With height rises expected
across the southern Plains, a weak coastal boundary will be shunted
a bit east across the northwestern Gulf basin. As a result, any
convective threat capable of generating lightning will focus along
this boundary.
