No Thunderstorms Forecast
Summary
Thunderstorms are unlikely on Thursday.
Synopsis and Discussion
The weather pattern will not change much from Wednesday into Thursday, with prominent upper high over the Southwest, northwest flow across the central states, and large-scale troughing just off the East Coast. High pressure from the East into the Gulf of America will preclude any moisture return, with a decided lack of instability over land.
