The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across much of the U.S. Wednesday through Wednesday night. ...Discussion... Models indicate that large-scale mid/upper ridging, inland of the Pacific coast at the outset of the period, may slowly expand east of the Great Plains through the Mississippi Valley, while broad downstream troughing is maintained across the Atlantic Seaboard through Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay vicinity. Upstream, an initially significant trough may continue digging toward the Pacific coast, but perhaps not as fast as upstream ridging builds eastward across the mid-latitude Pacific. As the troughing approaches the Pacific coast late in the period, it may begin to split, with one mid-level cold core perhaps digging a bit more sharply toward Oregon and California coastal areas. Spread is evident among the various model output concerning developments across the Pacific Coast vicinity, but it does appear that the mid-level cold core will be preceded inland by a frontal precipitation band with embedded convection late Wednesday evening through Wednesday night. Due to relatively warm mid-levels, thermodynamic profiles within this regime are not expected to support an appreciable risk (10 percent or greater) for convection capable of producing lightning. Better potential may develop beneath the colder (including 500 mb temperatures at or below around -24 C) post-frontal mid-level environment. But, it appears that this may not spread inland until after 12Z Thursday. Otherwise, while gradual surface pressure falls commence to the lee of the Rockies, low-level moisture return on southerly low-level flow off the western Gulf Basin is not forecast to yield appreciable destabilization through at least this period. ..Kerr.. 11/10/2025 $$
