   Valid 030100Z - 031200Z

   ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous U. S. the
   remainder of tonight. However, a lightning strike or two cannot be
   ruled out across south Texas.

   ...South Central through South Texas...

   Convection already underway within a weak warm advection regime
   across south TX will persist through much of tonight. RAOB and
   point-forecast sounding data indicate a marginally unstable layer
   between 700 and 500 mb, and further moistening at the base of this
   layer might result in sufficient instability for a few lightning
   strikes. However, at this time it appears most of the developing
   convection will not become deep enough for mixed/ice cloud processes
   necessary for 10% thunderstorm coverage.
