Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday. ...Synopsis... Generally zonal flow aloft is expected to continue across the northern CONUS. Upper-level ridging will remain in place across the central/southern CONUS. At the surface, a weakening cold front will be positioned along the Gulf Coast into northern Florida. A secondary, stronger cold front will move southward into the central Plains extending northeastward into the Midwest. Typical diurnally driven thunderstorms are expected in parts of the Florida Peninsula. Towards Friday morning, a very weak disturbance moving northward through the central Gulf may promote additional thunderstorms from southeastern Louisiana into the Florida Panhandle. Some elevated instability is possible near the cold front in northern Missouri as mid-level cooling and modest 850 mb moistening occurs. Given the weak low-level jet and limited moisture, convective development appears unlikely. ..Wendt.. 10/01/2024 $$
