...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected through tonight.
...Synopsis...
In the mid levels, The general pattern is forecast to slowly amplify
as weak troughing with broad cyclonic flow will persist over the
eastern 2/3rds of the CONUS. At the same time, ridging will
intensify over the West. This will favor increasingly strong (80-100
kts) northwesterly flow over the central US. As a result, strong
high pressure at the surface is expected over the northern Plains
and Southeast. With cold temperatures and dry/stable offshore flow,
little to no buoyancy is expected inland, aside from extreme
southern/coastal TX. This will suppress thunderstorm potential below
10% coverage.
