   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not expected today.

   ...Discussion...

   Water-vapor imagery depicts a notable short-wave trough over the
   central High Plains late this evening. This feature is forecast to
   translate into the mid MS Valley early in the period then across the
   OH Valley into New England by 10/12z. Weak height falls and
   associated large-scale forcing will spread well north of appreciable
   moisture which is currently suppressed across lower latitudes. For
   this reason thunderstorm activity is not expected ahead of this
   feature. However, a very weak disturbance appears to be located over
   northern Mexico at this time. This feature is forecast to eject
   northeast across LA by 18z remaining low amplitude as it moves
   toward AL into GA during the overnight hours. Weak low-level warm
   advection should also contribute to lift atop the boundary layer
   that should encourage elevated convection. Forecast soundings
   suggest adequate buoyancy for a few flashes of lighting with the
   strongest updrafts.

   Farther northwest across coastal WA/OR, 500mb speed max is forecast
   to approach the Pacific Northwest coast by 18z along with an
   associated weak surface trough. Cold mid-level temperatures and
   steep lapse rates should support scattered convection as onshore
   flow increases with frontal passage. Lightning appears possible with
   the stronger updrafts, mostly offshore or near the coast.
