   ...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.
