...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm potential appears low on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
A large-scale, positive-tilt upper trough will cover much of the
central/eastern CONUS on Wednesday. One embedded shortwave trough is
forecast to move across parts of the Southeast and Gulf Coast
vicinity, while another drops southward across the southern Plains.
Weak convection will likely be ongoing Wednesday morning near a cold
front from the FL Panhandle into parts of GA. This convection may
continue through the day across parts of SC/GA and north FL, as the
front advances southeastward. Buoyancy is expected to be quite weak,
and forecast soundings suggest that convection will generally be too
weak and low-topped for thunderstorm development. While very
isolated lightning flashes cannot be ruled out, coverage currently
appears too limited for any general thunderstorm areas.
