   ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not forecast today.

   ...20Z Update...
   A flash or two remains possible across Downeast ME but coverage is
   still expected to remain less than 10 percent. Thunderstorms are not
   anticipated elsewhere across the CONUS.

   ...ME...
   Minimal mid-level buoyancy may develop just ahead of the dry slot
   attendant to the shortwave trough over western New England. This
   buoyancy profile should largely overlap the back edge of robust
   forcing for ascent coincident with the dendritic growth zone. While
   this will maintain heavy snowfall rates in parts of the state
   through this afternoon, prospects for charge separation appear
   negligible and mitigate a 10 percent thunderstorm probability area.
