...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected across the contiguous United States
tonight.
...Synopsis...
As an upper vortex over New England shifts northeastward into the
Canadian Maritimes and the broader trough surrounding the low
advances slowly across the eastern U.S., upstream ridging will
flatten/deamplify with time as short-wave troughing shifts
inland/across the Pacific Northwest.
A cold front associated with the Pacific Northwest upper feature
will likewise across the northwestern U.S. with time, though the
lack of appreciable CAPE suggests that potential for lightning
within the showery convection over the region should remain
negligible. Elsewhere, with high pressure prevailing east of the
Rockies, thunderstorms are not expected.
