...DISCUSSION...
At mid-levels, a ridge will move eastward into the south-central
U.S. today, as a trough moves into the eastern states. Isolated
thunderstorms will be possible in parts of the Northeast as surface
temperatures warm, and as a band of strong large-scale ascent moves
from west to east across the region. In the western states, a
shortwave trough will move northeastward into the Four Corners.
Ahead of the trough, isolated thunderstorm development will take
place today from the Four Corners eastward into the south-central
Rockies. A few storms may also develop from the Sierras into
northern California, ahead a mid-level low that will approach the
coast of California. No severe weather is expected today or tonight
across the continental U.S.
