Valid 291200Z - 301200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Little to no thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday.
...Synopsis...
An upper low will deepen on Wednesday as it swings northeastward out
of AR and toward the upper OH Valley late. This low will be within a
large upper trough which will amplify across much of the Southeast
and toward the Mid Atlantic into Thursday.
Cool northerly surface winds will exist over much of the central US,
with a somewhat broad area of low pressure over the Southeast ahead
of the upper trough. A cold front will be moving across the northern
Gulf early Wednesday, with a minimal moisture plume perhaps
extending northeastward toward the FL Panhandle. There may be
scattered showers along this front, but relatively poor lapse rate
profiles suggest any convection would be weak and perhaps shallow.
Otherwise, the air mass ahead of the upper trough should remain
mostly stable, the exception being the possibility of highly
elevated instability wrapping northwestward across the Mid Atlantic.
While a lightning flash cannot be ruled out late Wednesday into
Wednesday night in that region, the overall threat of thunderstorms
or any substantial lightning appears minimal.
