...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast across the continental United States
today or tonight.
...Synopsis/Discussion...
Little or no thunderstorm potential is expected across the CONUS
today and tonight owing to the prevalence of continental
trajectories and dry/stable conditions.
As possible exceptions, a lightning flash or two may occur tonight
across northeast Texas, Arkansas, and/or northern Louisiana
coincident with weak elevated buoyancy and increasing warm/moist
advection. However, any such coverage and potential should remain
below 10 percent owing to the marginality of the thermodynamic
environment. Additionally, a few offshore lightning flashes may also
be possible late tonight off the coast of the Pacific Northwest as
forcing for ascent and a steepening of lapse rates occurs attendant
to an approaching shortwave trough.
