   UPPER PATTERN TODAY WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY A FLAT RIDGE OVER THE
   WESTERN STATES...AND A DEPARTING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST. 
   RELATIVELY DRY/STABLE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PRECLUDE ORGANIZED
   THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TODAY.  THE ONLY AREA
   WITH A REMOTE CHANCE OF ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKES THIS
   AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF WESTERN MT IN REGION
   OF STEEP LAPSE RATES AND INCREASING UVVS.  HOWEVER...THIS RISK
   APPEARS TOO LOW TO WARRANT A OUTLOOK AREA.
