...Synopsis and Discussion...
With longwave upper troughing dominating east of the Rockies and the
prevalence of continental surface trajectories, the large-scale
pattern will remain generally unfavorable for thunderstorms over the
CONUS today. Occasional lightning flashes could occur across
northern New England with focused ascent near a surface low and
northward-shifting front, but this potential will remain limited and
further diminish this afternoon. Weak elevated convection may
develop late tonight across west-central Texas as low-level warm
advection increases, but forecast thermodynamic profiles suggest
that charge separation is unlikely prior to 12Z Saturday.
