Isolated thunderstorms are possible across southeast Florida on Thursday. Severe storms are not expected. ...Synopsis... An upper low over the northeastern US and southern Canada will further amplify Thursday as ridging builds to the west ahead of a weaker shortwave trough over the Pacific. Broad and strong cyclonic flow aloft will overspread the eastern half of the US extending northwestward over the northern Rockies. At the surface, a strong low will occlude over eastern Canada while a cold front moves offshore over the east coast. In the wake of the front, high pressure will intensify as it moves southward into the central US. With surface high pressure and offshore flow expected in the wake of the departing cold front, thunderstorm potential over the US will be limited to far southern FL. Here, isolated thunderstorms are possible ahead of the front Thursday afternoon. However, weak lapse rates and buoyancy should limit the severe threat. Occasional lightning is also possible over portions the eastern Great Lakes owing to warm water temps and cold air advection behind the upper low Thursday and Thursday evening. But, with cold thermodynamic profiles only modest supportive of mixed-phase precipitation, any lightning flashes should be sporadic and tied to deeper and more persistent lake-effect bands. ..Lyons.. 11/25/2025 $$
