...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast through tonight.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
Rich low-level moisture will remain confined to parts of south FL,
the Keys, and offshore waters today. With a reinforcing cold front
expected to clear the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts through tonight,
thunderstorm potential across the CONUS appears minimal.

...DISCUSSION...
Based on the latest medium-range model output, a vigorous digging
short wave trough is likely to contribute to substantive mid-level
trough amplification once again across the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes
and Ohio Valley, into and across the Mid Atlantic Seaboard this
coming weekend. It appears that this may provide support for
significant cyclogenesis along a frontal zone across the
northwestern Atlantic, while a strongly confluent mid-level regime
in its wake supports the southeastward development of a large cold
surface ridge across most areas east of the Rockies, including the
offshore Atlantic and Gulf Basin by early next week.
Thereafter, into the middle of next week, mid-level flow may trend a
bit more zonal, at least across the northern mid-latitudes of North
America. However, there is notable spread evident within and among
the various model output concerning short waves emerging from the
upstream blocking pattern, before progressing inland within
splitting branches of westerlies across and east of the Rockies.
After an initial suppression of Gulf boundary-layer moistening early
next week, a developing southerly return flow with moistening that
may lead to increasing convective potential appears possible across
and northeast of the northwestern Gulf coast/lower Mississippi
Valley vicinity. The extent to which this could include a risk for
severe storms remains unclear, but currently still appears generally
low through at least this period.
