Valid 171200Z - 181200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast across the U.S. today or tonight.
...DISCUSSION...
A cyclonic flow pattern will remain over the U.S. today, as a
large-scale upper-level trough moves through the flow into the
southern Plains. At the surface, a large area of high pressure will
settle into the Great Plains. This airmass will reinforce cold and
dry conditions across much of the nation. Thunderstorms may occur
offshore from the central Gulf Coast or eastward off the coast of
south Florida. However, no thunderstorms are forecast across the
continental U.S. today or tonight.
