   ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms are not forecast across the continental United States
   today or tonight.

   ...Synopsis/Discussion...
   Little or no thunderstorm potential is expected across the CONUS
   today and tonight owing to the prevalence of continental
   trajectories and dry/stable conditions.

   As possible exceptions, a lightning flash or two may occur tonight
   across northeast Texas, Arkansas, and/or northern Louisiana
   coincident with weak elevated buoyancy and increasing warm/moist
   advection. However, any such coverage and potential should remain
   below 10 percent owing to the marginality of the thermodynamic
   environment. Additionally, a few offshore lightning flashes may also
   be possible late tonight off the coast of the Pacific Northwest as
   forcing for ascent and a steepening of lapse rates occurs attendant
   to an approaching shortwave trough.
