...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the U.S. through
tonight.

...Synopsis...
A midlevel shortwave trough will move over New England today, with
some weak/elevated convection possible this morning across eastern
ME.  A trailing front will stall across south FL, potentially
providing a focus for isolated thunderstorm development given
buoyancy associated with low-mid 70s boundary-layer dewpoints south
of the boundary.  Farther west, low-level moisture return will begin
across TX, in response to pressure falls across the southern High
Plains and in advance of a midlevel trough digging southward from
the northern Rockies toward the central Rockies by early Thursday.  

Increasing low-level moisture and strengthening ascent will support
elevated thunderstorm development by early tonight along a cold
front aligned along the I-44 corridor in OK.  Rather modest buoyancy
(MUCAPE generally less than 500 J/kg) and effective bulk shear
(mainly less than 30 kt) both suggest that severe storms with large
hail are unlikely overnight in OK.  MUCAPE could approach 1000 J/kg
late in the period across northwest TX, though storm development in
this area will be more probable after 12z.
