No Thunderstorms Today or Tonight
No thunderstorms are expected today or tonight across the country. Any isolated lightning that developed overnight near coastal southern New England has moved offshore and will continue to fade as the storm system pulls farther out to sea. Conditions are becoming less favorable for thunderstorm development along the East Coast. In the Pacific Northwest, a few lightning strikes were observed overnight along coastal Washington, but that activity is also winding down. A shift toward more stable air and a building ridge of high pressure will prevent additional thunderstorms from forming. Overall, expect a calm weather pattern with no thunderstorm concerns through tonight.

Critical Fire Weather Threat for South Florida
A dry air mass settling over Florida today behind a cold front will create dangerous fire weather conditions, especially across South Florida. While recent rainfall has helped limit fire danger in northern and central parts of the state, southern areas have remained dry and vegetation is more prone to burning. Afternoon humidity levels will drop to around 20 percent in South Florida, with steady winds of 10 to 15 mph supporting the spread of any fires that start. Elevated to locally critical conditions are possible elsewhere on the peninsula. Elevated fire weather is also expected in the Southern High Plains due to dry fuels, gusty winds, and low humidity. Other areas may see spotty concerns, but conditions are less favorable for widespread fire growth.
