   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few thunderstorms are expected across portions of southern
   California Thursday night.

   ...Southern CA...

   Strong mid-level height falls (150m in 12hr) are forecast to
   spread/develop across southern CA during the latter half of the
   period in response to a strong trough that will move onshore around
   daybreak Friday. Very strong 500mb speed max is expected to
   translate through the base of this approaching trough toward the
   northern Baja Peninsula, with a pronounced exit region of this jet
   forecast across southern CA. Focused low-level convergence/ascent
   ahead of a secondary offshore surface front will contribute to
   scattered convection. Forecast soundings suggest a few hundred J/kg
   SBCAPE is likely to develop within a strong-flow environment. NAM
   11z sounding at SAN exhibits surface-6km shear in excess of 50kt,
   350 J/kg SBCAPE, with sufficient veering to warrant some risk for
   weak low-topped supercells. Low-level shear is forecast to be
   marginal, and instability is likely too meager to warrant a
   severe-hail threat. However, gusty winds may be noted with
   convection that develops after midnight ahead of the approaching
   front.
