   Valid 041300Z - 051200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms will be possible today across western
   Washington.

   ...Synopsis...
   Cold midlevel temperatures and associated steep low-midlevel lapse
   rates will persist near the WA coast today, with an associated
   threat for isolated lightning flashes mainly this morning into early
   afternoon.  Thereafter, warming profiles aloft with rising heights,
   and resultant lowering of equilibrium levels, will reduce the
   potential for convection deep enough to produce lightning. 
   Otherwise, a cold and/or dry continental air mass will preclude
   thunderstorms across the majority of the CONUS.  The only potential
   exceptions will be across the FL Straits and just off the Carolinas,
   but any deep convection/lightning flashes should remain sparse and
   confined to offshore waters.
