   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few thunderstorms will be possible across the eastern Florida
   Peninsula, and over parts of the West Coast and northern California.

   ...West Coast...

   Strong upper trough off the Pacific Coast will shift east during the
   period as strong 500mb flow translates toward southern CA, west of
   SBA, by sunrise Tuesday. Northern surface frontal segment will surge
   inland along the OR/northern CA Coast after 18z then move east,
   arcing from central ID-central NV-MRY by 14/12z. Forecast soundings
   suggest SBCAPE on the order of 300 J/kg will likely develop within
   marine influenced near-coastal areas. Strong onshore flow and
   favorable large-scale support suggest offshore convection will
   spread inland with some potential for lightning as mid-level
   temperatures are seasonally cold and surface-6km lapse rates will be
   steep.

   ...FL Peninsula...

   Water-vapor imagery suggests a weak short-wave trough is located
   over LA late this evening. This feature will track southeast toward
   the FL Peninsula later today which should maintain a weak inverted
   surface trough off the FL Atlantic Coast. Scattered weak convection
   is currently noted 50-100mi east of MLB and this boundary should
   focus a few thunderstorms through the period.
