   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the CONUS on Thursday.

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper-level trough across the Southwest Thursday morning will
   shift across the Plains and into the Ohio Valley by early Friday
   morning. At the surface, the frontal zone across southern Louisiana
   Mississippi, and Alabama will shift slightly northward in response
   to the strengthening low-level flow ahead of the advancing trough
   before accelerating southeast Thursday Night. 

   ...Southeast...
   Strengthening low-level flow will moisten the low-level environment
   ahead of a surface cold front from southeast Louisiana across
   central Mississippi and into northern Alabama through the day.
   Considerable surface heating is anticipated ahead of the front with
   temperatures in the upper 70s to near 80. This may lead to some weak
   instability around 500 to 750 J/kg to develop immediately ahead of
   the surface front. A warm nose around 750mb should limit any deep
   convection within the warm sector and keep it focused along the
   front. However, storm motion may lead to storm propagation to the
   cool side of the front relatively quickly. Therefore, even if any
   stronger cells can develop along the front, the residence time of
   these storms in the warm sector may be limited which would also aid
   in keeping storms below severe limits. Therefore, the Day 2 marginal
   was removed given the latest forecast trends.
