...Synopsis...
Isolated thunderstorms are expected along the Mid-Atlantic and New
England coast this afternoon and tonight as offshore bomb
cyclogenesis occurs. Some of this lightning activity will occur
with heavy snow.
Elsewhere, a few afternoon thunderstorms may accompany a cold front
as it sags southward across the central FL peninsula. Also,
isolated thunderstorms may move ashore over western WA beneath very
cold temperatures aloft. In all of these places, weak instability
will preclude the risk of severe thunderstorms.
