   1123 PM CST Sat Feb 19 2022

   Valid 201200Z - 211200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few flashes of lighting are possible with showers across the
   Pacific Northwest. Isolated thunderstorms are possible Sunday night
   across the lower Mississippi Valley/Arklatex region.

   ...Pacific Northwest...

   Very cold mid-level temperatures will spread across the Pacific
   Northwest along the cyclonic side of a digging jet that will
   translate toward northern CA by the end of the period. With 500mb
   temperatures cooling below -30C, cooling, steepening lapse rates
   will become favorable for weak convection aided by weak buoyancy
   related to marine influences. A few flashes of lightning can not be
   ruled out with the stronger updrafts.

   ...Lower MS Valley/Arklatex...

   Low-latitude short-wave trough will eject across northern Mexico
   toward TX later Sunday. This feature will induce a LLJ over
   southeast TX that will focus into northern LA/southern AR after
   sunset. Moisture advection atop the stable boundary layer should
   contribute to adequate buoyancy for a threat of elevated convection
   during the latter half of the period. Several NAM forecast soundings
   suggest parcels lifted around 800mb would yield in excess of 500
   J/kg MUCAPE, thus isolated thunderstorms are expected within the
   warm advection regime late.
