Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Monday. ...Synopsis... An upper low will gradually morph into an open wave while ejecting into the Atlantic from the Northeast and another upper trough traverses the Southwest on Monday. Weak surface lee troughing and associated low-level moisture return will continue over the Plains, supporting increased thunderstorm chances. Meanwhile, some cooling aloft and deep-layer ascent will encourage thunderstorm development ahead of the aforementioned upper trough over the Interior West. Nonetheless, the lack of a favorable overlap of buoyancy and shear will inhibit organized severe thunderstorm potential, as also suggested by the latest ML/AI calibrated guidance. ..Squitieri.. 09/26/2026 $$
