   Valid 091630Z - 101200Z

   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WESTERN
   WASHINGTON/FAR NORTHWEST OREGON...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A brief tornado or locally damaging wind gust is possible this
   afternoon, mainly across a portion of western Washington.

   ...Western Washington/northwest Oregon...
   A shortwave trough and related cold front will continue to move
   eastward/inland through the afternoon. Via cloud breaks and a
   trough-associated pocket of -30C 500 mb temperatures, low/mid-level
   lapse rates will steadily steepen this afternoon, with a few hundred
   J/kg SBCAPE expected to be maximized along the Washington Coast.
   This may be sufficient for some semi-stout/sustained low-topped
   thunderstorms, with strong deep-layer southwesterly winds
   potentially supportive of organized clusters and possibly a
   weak/transient supercell or two. A brief tornado and/or convectively
   enhanced damaging wind gust will be possible, particularly in
   near-coastal Washington areas this afternoon.
