A severe threat is not expected to develop across the continental U.S. on Tuesday or Tuesday night. ...DISCUSSION... A mid-level ridge is forecast to build over the central Rockies and northern High Plains on Tuesday. At the surface, a post-frontal airmass will likely be located across the upper Mississippi Valley. Along the southern and western periphery of the post-frontal airmass, moderate instability is expected to develop by afternoon from parts of the central Plains eastward into the lower Ohio Valley. Near the instability axis, a convective cluster appears likely over part of Kansas Tuesday afternoon. The storms are not expected to be severe due to weak deep-layer shear and limited large-scale ascent. Isolated thunderstorms may also develop over parts of the mid Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys in the afternoon. These storms are also not expected to be severe for similar reasons. ...Synopsis... ..Broyles.. 08/17/2025 $$
