SUMMARY

Thunderstorms are not expected across the US today.

Along the northern periphery of an expansive upper ridge encompassing the western half of the CONUS, a low-amplitude shortwave trough will impinge on the northern Rockies during the overnight hours. While the development of shallow buoyancy may promote low-topped convection ahead of the trough, lightning is not expected.
