   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated lightning flashes will be possible later this afternoon and
   early tonight close to the Texas Big Bend.

   ...Synopsis...
   The large-scale pattern remains largely unchanged from the past few
   days, with a flat ridge over the Great Basin and strong
   west-northwesterly flow from the northern Plains to the Mid
   Atlantic.  A persistent southern stream trough will continue to
   weaken slowly as subtle, ejecting speed maxima translate from
   northern Mexico to TX through early Friday.  Gradual air mass
   modification will continue in a return flow regime across the
   northwest Gulf of Mexico into coastal TX, but negligible forcing for
   ascent and relatively warm temperature profiles in the mid levels do
   not support deep convection/thunderstorms within the returning
   moisture.  Isolated lightning flashes may occur farther west near
   the Rio Grande in the vicinity of the Big Bend late this afternoon
   into early tonight.  However, destabilization will be weak and
   convective inhibition should be slow to weaken, thus keeping
   thunderstorm probabilities low and confined to near the
   international border.
