11PM Day 1 Convective Outlook for Thursday, January 29. NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
SUMMARY
Thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight.
Synopsis/Discussion
A convectively inactive scenario will persist across the CONUS with virtually nil thunderstorm potential. Longwave trough will persist east of the Rockies with associated cold/continental trajectories prevalent, with upper ridging over the Rockies and Intermountain West. Multiple shortwave troughs will influence the Pacific Northwest, but the potential for lighting-producing convection is likely to remain low even in near-coastal areas given the forecast thermodynamic profiles.
