Valid 191200Z - 201200Z



...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...



...SUMMARY...

Severe thunderstorms are not forecast today.



...Synopsis...

A large upper trough extending from the Great Lakes into the OH and

TN Valleys will move into the northeastern US today, with a weak

upper ridge across the Rockies. This pattern will favor high

pressure over the central and eastern states, stable conditions and

minimal thunderstorm activity. A cold front associated the eastern

trough will be well off the East Coast by midday, with drying

offshore flow. Minimal instability may yield isolated thunderstorms

over eastern Florida, or perhaps across the Rio Grande Valley where

elevated moisture and weak instability will remain atop the surface

cool layer. In any case, severe storms are not forecast.
