Thunderstorm potential is expected to be low on Wednesday. ...Synopsis... An upper level ridge will develop east from the Rockies into the Plains on Wednesday, while a shortwave trough weakens as it moves from TX to over the Gulf. Thunderstorm potential appears low given a generally stable airmass across the eastern two-thirds of the CONUS. Meanwhile, a large-scale upper trough will overspread the western U.S. Cooling aloft and midlevel moistening may be sufficient for a couple of lightning flashes across the Great Basin vicinity as the upper trough impinges on the region, but overall thunderstorm potential is expected to be minimal. ..Leitman.. 02/09/2026 $$
