...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast across the U.S. today or tonight.
...DISCUSSION...
A large-scale upper-level trough will dig southeastward into the
central states today, as mid-level flow becomes west-southwesterly
across the east-central U.S. At the surface, a cold front will
advance southeastward into the western Gulf Coast states and
Tennessee Valley. A large area of high pressure behind the front
will reinforce a cold and dry airmass in place over much of the
nation. In response, conditions will be unfavorable for thunderstorm
development today and tonight across the continental U.S.
