...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast today or tonight.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
A mid-level shortwave trough will move eastward over the Great Lakes
and Midwest today as large-scale upper troughing remains over much
of the central/eastern CONUS. A surface cold front will continue to
advance southeastward through the period across the remainder of the
southern Plains and much of the Southeast. Low-level moisture and
related instability are expected to remain too limited to support
thunderstorm development today along/ahead of the cold front.
