   Valid 181200Z - 191200Z

   ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorm potential is low through Tuesday night.

   ...Southwestern US...

   Weak upper low off the southern CA coast is progressing east toward
   the lower CO River Valley. Latest model guidance suggest this
   feature will shift into AZ later this afternoon as 500mb speed max
   translates across northern Mexico into far west TX during the latter
   half of the period. Large-scale forcing for ascent ahead of this
   feature will contribute to mid-level moistening such that weak
   buoyancy is expected to develop within a steep lapse rate
   environment. While forecast soundings suggest shallow, weak
   convection may develop ahead of the short wave, cloud depths should
   generally prove inadequate for lightning probabilities during the
   day1 period.
