..NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
..SUMMARY
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL SHOULD REMAIN LOW THROUGH THE NIGHT.
.. 01 UTC UPDATE
SHOWERS AND THE OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORM WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND
SOUTHEAST OF A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL ZONE DRAPED FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS NORTHEAST TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC. INSTABILITY IS RATHER
LIMITED TO THE SOUTH OF THIS FRONT OWING TO POOR LAPSE-RATES, AND
VERTICAL SHEAR IS WEAK. THUS, WHILE THE OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORM MAY
OCCUR, THE SEVERE POTENTIAL IS LOW.
ELSEWHERE, A COUPLE OF LIGHTNING STRIKES MAY OCCUR TOWARD SUNRISE
ACROSS THE NORTH-CENTRAL US. HERE, A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH MOVING
THROUGH THE STRONGER MID-LEVEL FLOW WILL OVERHEAD, BRINGING WITH IT
MODEST LARGE-SCALE ASCENT. TEMPERATURES IN THE 40FS TO LOW 50FS WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE 40FS SHOULD LIMIT INSTABILITY AND THE OVERALL
POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE.
