...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight.

...Discussion...
Large-scale trough amplification will occur over the Midwest/East
through tonight, with expanding surface high pressure across the
Plains and Midwest in the wake of a cold front progressing
south-southeastward toward the Lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf
Coast by late tonight and early Sunday. Preceding the front, weak
warm/moist advection should allow for northeastward-expanding
thunderstorm development across southeast Texas and Louisiana today,
with potential persisting until the frontal passage tonight. 

A low-latitude disturbance crossing the Gulf and a northward
moisture flux ahead of it will contribute to thunderstorm potential
across the Florida Keys/Florida Straits today, and also across the
southern Florida Peninsula tonight. Severe thunderstorms are
unlikely with these scenarios.
