.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1021 AM CST Thu Jan 02 2025/

...Synopsis...
In the mid levels, The general pattern is forecast to slowly amplify
as weak troughing with broad cyclonic flow will persist over the
eastern 2/3rds of the CONUS. At the same time, ridging will
intensify over the West. This will favor increasingly strong (80-100
kts) northwesterly flow over the central US. As a result, strong
high pressure at the surface is expected over the northern Plains
and Southeast. With cold temperatures and dry/stable offshore flow,
little to no buoyancy is expected inland, aside from extreme
southern/coastal TX. This will suppress thunderstorm potential below
10% coverage.
