...Synopsis...
Broad high pressure will dominate the weather over the
central/eastern US today, with a cold front sagging southward across
the FL peninsula. Strong daytime heating and convergence along the
front and the east-coast sea-breeze will aid in the development of
isolated afternoon/evening thunderstorms. Cool temperatures aloft
could result in a strong storm or two capable of small hail or gusty
winds. But the overall threat of severe storms appears low.
A strong upper trough and associated mid-level speed max will begin
affecting the Pacific Northwest coast late tonight, with some risk
of lightning flashes over the Olympic peninsula.
