   Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few thunderstorms will be possible across the coastal Pacific
   Northwest through late afternoon.

   ...Pacific Northwest...

   Upper heights will gradually fall across the Pacific Northwest today
   as secondary upper trough approaches coastal WA/OR/northern CA late
   in the period. Very cold temperatures aloft will result in steep
   lower-tropospheric lapse rates such that scattered convection should
   easily develop within onshore maritime air mass. Forecast soundings
   suggest a few hundred J/kg SBCAPE should be adequate for updrafts to
   penetrate levels necessary for lightning. Updrafts should wane after
   sunset as boundary layer cools.
