Valid 170100Z - 171200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast across the U.S. this evening or
tonight.
...DISCUSSION...
A large-scale upper-level trough will move across the central U.S.
this evening and tonight, as mid-level flow remains cyclonic from
the southwest over much of the east-central U.S. At the surface, a
cold front will move the central Gulf Coast states and southern
Appalachians late this evening into tonight. Behind the front, a
large area of high pressure area will settle into the central U.S.
tonight, reinforcing cold and dry conditions over much of the
nation. For this reason, thunderstorms are not forecast across the
continental U.S. through tonight.
