   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   CORRECTED FOR SYNOPSIS GEOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms are expected along the West Coast from Washington to
   northern California through the day Sunday with isolated lighting
   possible in portions of eastern Missouri into Illinois/Indiana
   Sunday evening and Sunday night.

   ...Synopsis...
   A mid-level shortwave trough will be located near the Four Corners
   region at the beginning of the period and will move northeast to the
   Upper Midwest by early Monday morning. A strong lee cyclone is
   anticipated at the beginning of the period. However, this surface
   low is expected to fill as it lifts northeast as the upper-level
   trough lifts quickly northeastward and becomes less amplified. 

   ...Midwest...
   Low 60s dewpoints are expected to advect as far north as southern
   Illinois and southern Indiana by early Monday morning. However,
   despite this moistening warm sector, a stout EML is expected to keep
   the airmass capped, limiting surface based storm development.
   Elevated convection is possible from northern Missouri into Illinois
   and western Indiana as isentropic ascent strengthens Sunday evening.
   850mb trajectories from the western Gulf will meet this zone of
   isentropic ascent Sunday evening which should increase elevated
   instability to the north of the surface front. Instability will
   likely remain too limited for a severe threat from this activity.
