...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm potential appears negligible through tonight.
...Discussion...
Tranquil conditions will prevail across much of the contiguous U.S.
through tonight in large part due to surface high pressure over the
East and a mostly dry airmass over the Lower 48. Model guidance is
consistent in showing the risk of thunderstorms to be very low to
nil across the continental United States.
