   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not expected across the contiguous United
   States today and tonight.

   Only minor changes have been made to the ongoing forecast. 
   Scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and tonight
   along a cold front sagging into east TX and the lower MS Valley. 
   Other isolated thunderstorms are possible beneath a cold upper
   trough over parts of AZ/NM.

   ...Southwest LA Late tonight...
   One small area remains a minor concern for strong storms late
   tonight over parts of southwest LA.  Southerly low-level winds are
   expected to maintain dewpoints in the mid 60s as the surface cold
   front approaches after midnight.  One or two of the 12z CAM
   solutions show a discrete storm or two in this area before 03/12z. 
   However the consensus of guidance suggests that overnight storms in
   this area will be post-frontal, and that the risk of stronger and
   more organized thunderstorms will develop after 12z and farther
   east.  Therefore will maintain less than 5%/2% severe/tornado
   probabilities, but will continue to re-assess the potential with
   later updates.
