...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not currently expected on Wednesday.

...Synopsis and Discussion...
A pair of shortwave troughs are expected within the broadly cyclonic
flow anticipated across the CONUS early Wednesday. The easternmost
shortwave trough is forecast to begin the period over the middle OH
Valley before quickly moving northeastward across the Lower Great
Lakes region and weakening. Warm-air advection ahead of this
shortwave may result in a few isolated thunderstorms along the New
England coast, but the highest thunderstorm chances will remain
offshore. 

An occluded surface low associated with this eastern shortwave will
follow a similar track, with an attendant cold front sweeping
eastward as it does. Stable conditions are expected ahead of this
front along much of the Eastern Seaboard. The only exception from
the Southeast Coast into FL, where modest low-level moisture and
limited buoyancy will remain. A few isolated thunderstorms are
possible on the front as it moves through these areas. 

The westernmost shortwave trough will likely begin the period over
the interior Pacific Northwest before dropping southeastward through
the Great Basin towards the Four Corners. Cold mid-level
temperatures will accompany this system and a few lightning strikes
are possible within any deeper, more persistent updrafts.
However, relatively cold thermodynamic profiles should keep
thunderstorm coverage below 10%.
