...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected Wednesday.

...Synopsis...
An upper low will be situated over northern Ontario with a broad
area of lower heights across the Canadian Prairies. South of this
low, a broad fetch of moderate to strong high-level flow will extend
from the western US into the Southeast, with a leading wave ejecting
in negative-tilt fashion across the Northeast. With time, upper
ridging will occur along the West Coast.

At the surface, high pressure will be centered over the central to
southern Plains, with a deepening low over Maine, in association
with the upper wave. As a result, northerly winds will exist along
the Gulf Coast, with offshore flow along the East Coast as well. The
end result will be stable conditions across the bulk of the CONUS,
with little if any thunderstorm or lightning potential. While a
flash or two cannot be ruled out ahead of the New England surface
low, any weak elevated instability should remain largely offshore.
