Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Monday.
Upper-level ridging will continue across much of the CONUS on Monday. A compact, moderately strong shortwave trough will move into the Pacific Northwest by mid/late afternoon. As the surface high continues to move south and east through the Mid-Atlantic, moisture return will occur in the western/central Gulf Coast regions. Very isolated thunderstorm activity could occur near the Texas Gulf Coast, but this potential should be quite limited given ridging aloft and weak low-level forcing. Within the coastal Northwest, cold temperatures aloft are expected to support isolated, low-topped thunderstorm activity late afternoon into early evening.
