   Valid 221200Z - 231200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms are possible near the Pacific Coast from
   northern California northward, mainly during the evening and
   overnight.

   ...Pacific Coast...

   Large-scale pattern will not be particularly favorable for deep
   convection capable of generating lightning across the CONUS during
   the day1 period. However, sustained, and notable mid-level height
   falls are expected across the Pacific Northwest ahead of an
   approaching upper trough. Poor lapse rates will not prove
   particularly favorable for weak convection to generate lightning
   within the warm advection zone across this region; but, near-frontal
   convection during the latter half of the period will develop within
   a steeper lapse rate environment. Strongest updrafts should generate
   a few flashes of lightning, especially offshore convection where
   buoyancy will be a bit greater than inland areas. Greatest risk for
   isolated thunderstorms will remain near the coast in proximity to
   marine boundary-layer influences.
