Here is a clear satellite for you to watch the storms!

What I see is what looks to be a LLCC around 33.8/72 west moving to the west-northwest. This area is exposed at this time. As for the system off the east coast it is centered around 33/77.5. With another area of interest down near 30/79. This area is looking very interesting.

Yeah, this appears to be strictly CONUS. Pretty nice tool, though.

this system right now is a mid lat system. Pressures are high and not falling in the area. If some models are putting something there later in the week, than that will have to wait.
