   Valid 181200Z - 191200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not forecast today or tonight across the
   contiguous United States.

   ...Discussion...
   A mid-level shortwave trough over the Southern Rockies will move
   east into TX during the day.  A gradual moistening of the profile
   will contribute to weak instability over the middle and upper
   coastal plain of TX.  Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible
   late in the day into the overnight beginning initially over central
   TX moving into the coastal plain.  Farther west, low-topped
   convection may yield a couple of lightning flashes near the WA coast
   in the left exit region of a Pacific upper jet.
