...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected today.

...Discussion...
A progressive and semi-amplified large-scale pattern will persist,
with mean upper ridging over the Rockies/High Plains and broad
troughing over the eastern CONUS. This flow regime ensures richer
moisture/instability will remain suppressed across lower latitudes
as northwesterly flow aloft dominates much of the country east of
the Rockies. A surface cold front will continue to settle
south-southeastward today across the southern Appalachians, Lower
Mississippi Valley and ArkLaTex. Boundary-layer heating will be
prominent especially within a corridor from the southern Arklatex to
northern Alabama and South Carolina. Forecast soundings suggest some
potential for lightning discharge in the deepest updrafts, although
lightning-producing convection is expected to remain rather sparse,
and mainly during the afternoon through early evening hours.
