   Valid 040100Z - 041200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms are expected across portions of southern
   California tonight.

   ...Southern CA...

   00z sounding at SAN was strongly capped and stable this evening.
   However, large-scale forcing for ascent should result in moistening
   profiles as lapse rates cool/steepen ahead of approaching upper
   trough. By 09-10z, forecast soundings become buoyant enough for
   surface-based convection along/ahead of the cold front. While SBCAPE
   may only approach 400 J/kg, surface-6km bulk shear of 35+kt and
   steep lapse rates may be enough for gusty winds and small hail with
   the strongest storms.
