...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Tuesday.
...Synopsis...
Upper pattern is forecast to remain progressive on Tuesday, with the
deep upper trough initially along the Eastern Seaboard moving
quickly eastward as expansive upper ridging moves from central
Plains across much of the eastern CONUS. At the same time, upper
troughing will deepen across the western CONUS, aided by a pair of
phased shortwave troughs, one moving across the Pacific Northwest
and northern Rockies and the other moving across the southern
CA/Baja Peninsula into southern AZ and far northwest Mexico.
At the surface, a large area of high pressure will drift eastward
across the eastern CONUS, keeping conditions stable. Deepening
surface pressure is anticipated across the Plains ahead of the
approaching upper trough, with the resulting pressure gradient
supporting moderate low-level southerly flow. Some moisture return
is anticipated across TX as a result, but much of the low-level
moisture was displaced well south by a previous cold front, and
upper 50s dewpoints will likely remain confined to areas south of
I-10.
Stable conditions are expected across the majority of western CONUS
as well. The only exception is across eastern AZ/western NM where
strong ascent and cold temperatures aloft could result in a few
updrafts capable of producing lightning. However, coverage is
forecast to remain below 10%.
