   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms are possible across eastern and south
   Florida, as well as along the West Coast and from parts of
   California to the Four Corners region.

   ...Southwest...
   A highly amplified mid/upper trough near the West Coast will shift
   inland as an intense mid-level speed max rotates through the basal
   portion of the trough over southern CA and AZ. Very strong forcing
   for ascent should support multiple shallow convective bands,
   initially across southern CA within a low-level warm-conveyor regime
   and later along a sharpening cold front that will sweep east across
   the CO River Valley. Forecast soundings suggest buoyancy will remain
   scant along the southern CA coast with mid-level lapse rates
   unsupportive of deeper convection for appreciable lightning. From
   the Lower CO Valley to the Four Corners area, strong to severe
   gradient wind gusts are expected both ahead of and behind the
   surging cold front. However, MUCAPE should hold below 100 J/kg and
   this will limit convective contributions to background high wind
   gusts. 

   ...Eastern/south FL...
   Moist easterly low-level flow will persist through the period
   yielding multiple rounds of scattered showers and isolated
   thunderstorms within a weakly unstable air mass. Poor mid-level
   lapse rates and low shear will limit potential for storm-scale
   organization.
