/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.
