9AM Day 1 Convective Outlook for Monday, January 26. NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
SUMMARY
Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight.
Discussion including South Florida
Longwave trough will remain prevalent east of the Rockies, with some late-day amplification of the upper ridge into the West in advance of an approaching shortwave trough. High pressure and cold/continental trajectories will extensively prevail east of the Rockies, with an exception being ahead of a cold front crossing the Florida Peninsula. While near-frontal convergence will remain weak, and mid-level lapse rates are poor, additional boundary layer warming and deepening convection may be conducive for a few lightning flashes, mainly near parts of the coastal southeast Florida Peninsula through afternoon.
