12AM Day 2 Convective Outlook for Monday, January 26. NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
SUMMARY
Thunderstorms appear unlikely Monday.
Synopsis
A strong upper trough initially centered across the Plains and Great Lakes will move off the East Coast by early Tuesday. A second upper trough over the Canadian Prairies will subsequently move southward and intensify over the northern US as ridging builds over the West. At the surface, a strong cold front will sweep across the central and southern FL Peninsula Monday morning and afternoon. While a thunderstorm or two cannot be ruled out across the FL Atlantic coast, deep-layer ascent will diminish as the primary ascent departs with the offshore trough. This will limit thunderstorm development inland as the expansive Arctic air mass forces the remaining instability offshore.
