   Valid 230100Z - 231200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few lightning flashes are possible with near-coastal convection
   tonight. Gusty winds may accompany this activity.

   ...Pacific Northwest...

   Pre frontal band of low-topped convection has developed ahead of the
   upper trough just off the WA Coast. Lightning is very sparse with
   this offshore activity as buoyancy is quite limited. While wind
   fields/shear support organized updrafts, cool boundary-layer
   conditions over land are yielding MUCAPE values generally less than
   100 J/kg, and this is not expected to rise appreciably. Although
   immediate coastal areas may destabilize a bit due to more favorable
   trajectories off the water. Even so, the prospect for organized
   severe wind appears too low to warrant MRGL Risk overnight. Gusty
   winds are the primary risk with the low-topped convection as it
   moves inland over the next several hours.
