   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms are possible late afternoon and evening along
   the Washington and northwest Oregon coast, and after 10 pm PST
   across portions of northern/central California.

   ...Discussion...
   No change was made to the previously issued outlook.

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0952 AM CST Sun Nov 26 2017/

   ...WA/northwest OR coast...
   A plume of steep 700-500 mb lapse rates should reach the coast by
   about 23Z in conjunction with an approaching shortwave impulse
   around 47 N/134 W. This will yield thermodynamic profiles supportive
   of potentially patchy/brief thunder. This risk will wane as the
   thermal trough passes east overnight.

   ...Northern/central CA...
   A vigorous shortwave trough around 40 N/135 W will progress into
   northern/central CA early Monday. Strong forcing for ascent coupled
   with cooling mid-level temperatures should aid in scant buoyancy
   developing along and in the wake of an impinging cold front. While
   most convection along this boundary should remain shallow, sporadic
   lightning strikes will be possible as the convective band spreads
   inland and likely decays over the Central Valley towards 12Z.
