...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Friday.
...Synopsis...
An upper trough over the southern Plains will develop southeast
toward the Gulf coast states on Friday. Modest moisture (dewpoints
in the 50s to low 60s near the coast) will spread across eastern TX
and LA ahead of a surface trough and cold front. As midlevel lapse
rates steepen with the approach of the upper trough, enough elevated
instability will exist for isolated thunderstorm development. This
activity will remain elevated and weak, and severe storms are not
expected. Surface high pressure across much of the rest of the U.S.
will preclude thunderstorm activity elsewhere, as a dry and stable
air mass prevails. The exception may be across parts of the Pacific
Northwest coast. An upper shortwave trough will move onshore late in
the period, along with a surface cold front. Bands of showers will
move onshore through the period, but thunderstorm potential appears
low.
