...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe weather is not forecast over the Lower 48 states on Thursday.

...Synopsis...
Expansive cyclonic mid-level flow will encompass the eastern US
today. Within this flow regime, a shortwave trough will translate
from the northern Plains southeastward to the Ohio Valley, while a
sharper impulse will lift from New England into the Canadian
Maritimes. At the surface, a cold front will progress south across
the Florida peninsula, as a high builds in its wake across the Gulf
Coast. A weak, migratory low initially over the mid Missouri Valley
will advance to the Ohio Valley during the day.

...Ohio Valley...
As mid-level cooling/moistening occurs ahead of the approaching
impulse, very weak buoyancy may materialize late in the day.
However, meager moisture (e.g., precipitable-water values near 0.3
inches) should keep any convection quite shallow, precluding
thunder.

...Florida Peninsula...
With the cold front sinking south across Florida, daytime heating
will encourage convective development along the eastern coast. While
one or two updrafts may become sufficiently deep for an isolated
lightning strike, coverage is expected to stay low enough to
preclude the introduction of a thunder area.
