SWO
No Thunderstorms Forecast
Summary
Thunderstorms are not expected on Wednesday.
Synopsis and Discussion
A large upper trough will exist over the eastern states, with an upper high prominently situated over the Southwest. High pressure will cover most of the CONUS, with dry offshore flow from the East Coast into the Gulf of America. As such, the pattern will offer little potential for destabilization or thunderstorms. However, relative moisture from the Bahamas into the FL Straits may support a few weak oceanic thunderstorms, most likely just off the FL Peninsula.
