   Valid 121630Z - 131200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

   ...Synopsis...
   A deep midlevel trough and associated cold air aloft/steep lapse
   rates, as evidenced by the large area of low-topped convection west
   of the WA/OR coasts, will spread slowly inland and southward through
   the outlook period.  Weak buoyancy will be possible close to the
   coast in this flow regime, where isolated lightning flashes will be
   possible through the period with convective cells spreading inland.

   Otherwise, low-level moisture will linger along and south of a
   baroclinic zone drifting into central FL.  Some shallow convection
   is expected along the front and along a separate pre-frontal band
   across southeast FL, but a pronounced stable layer near 700 mb
   suggests that convection deep enough to produce lightning is
   unlikely.
