...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorm potential is expected to be low on Monday.

...Synopsis...

An upper shortwave trough over the central Plains will continue
weakening as it lifts northeast to the Upper MS Valley on Monday.
Meanwhile, a weak upper shortwave impulse will move across the
southern High Plains vicinity and a stronger/deepening upper
cyclone/trough will dig over the Intermountain West. At the surface,
a cold front will develop southward across the central Plains and
Mid-MO Valley. Southerly low-level flow will maintain modest
boundary layer moisture across the southern High Plains into the
KS/NE ahead of the surface front. Instability is expected to remain
weak, and vertical shear will also be weaker than the previous few
days. As a result, severe thunderstorm potential appears limited.
