   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms will be possible along the Pacific Coast.

   ...West Coast...
   Quiet convective weather is expected over most of the nation today,
   with the exception of the West Coast.  Strong onshore flow ahead of
   an approaching upper trough will promote isolated thunderstorms in
   coastal areas of WA/OR into northern and central CA.  A few of the
   thunderstorms may spread into the CA central valley this
   afternoon/evening, where small hail may accompany the stronger
   cells.  No organized severe storms are anticipated.

   ...Ohio Valley...
   Isolated thunderstorms have been occurring over the OH valley this
   morning.  This risk of further lightning flashes will diminish
   rapidly early this afternoon as the associated shortwave trough
   moves eastward and away from the region. Will leave a small area of
   10% coverage for a few more hours.
