...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm potential is low today and tonight.
...Discussion...
Highlighted by an amplifying longwave trough east of the Rockies and
the prevalence of continental trajectories, the large-scale pattern
will generally not be conducive for convection capable of generating
lightning today. A couple of lightning flashes could occur early
today across northern New England with focused ascent near the
surface low/northward-shifting front, but this potential will remain
limited and diminish over time. Weak elevated convection may develop
late tonight across west-central Texas in vicinity of the Low
Rolling Plains as warm advection increases, but forecast
thermodynamic profiles suggest that charge separation is unlikely
prior to 12z Saturday.
