   ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United States
   on Monday.

   ...Synopsis...
   Upper troughing will be in place over the eastern CONUS early
   Monday, with one embedded shortwave centered over the northern
   Mid-Atlantic and another farther southwest over the TN Valley. The
   lead shortwave is forecast to progress northward across the
   Northeast into Quebec while the other shortwave tracks more eastward
   off the Carolina coast. Farther west, upper ridging in place Monday
   morning from the Southwest into the Great Basin is expected to
   dampen as a weakening upper low moves into southern CA. This pattern
   evolution is forecast to result in a less amplified, predominantly
   zonal mid to upper flow across most of the CONUS by early Tuesday.
   Moderately strong upper flow will still be in place east of the MS
   River while with weaker flow across the West.

   A dry and continental post-frontal air mass will be in place east of
   the Rockies, precluding the buoyancy needed for thunderstorms. The
   only exception is during the early morning over Cape Cod where
   limited elevated buoyancy may develop. Even so, the expectation is
   for most of the buoyancy to remain offshore, keeping the
   thunderstorm coverage less than 10 percent over land areas. Cool and
   stable conditions will preclude thunderstorms over the western
   CONUS.
