...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Organized thunderstorm activity is not anticipated today.

...Synopsis...
The powerful upper trough that produced severe storms along the
eastern Seaboard yesterday has moved away, with its associated
surface cold front ushering in dry/stable conditions across the
CONUS.  The only area of some concern for a lightning strike or two
would be over south FL and the Keys, in vicinity of the
aforementioned cold front.  This activity will primarily be
offshore, and is expected to remain below 10% coverage.
