   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not expected tomorrow or tomorrow night.

   ...Discussion...
   A broad upper trough over the West will accelerate eastward as an
   intense mid-level jet translates through the base of the trough near
   the Lower CO Valley and ejects onto the southern High Plains by 12Z
   Thu. Strong forcing for ascent and steep lower-level lapse rates may
   become coupled with scant buoyancy to yield very isolated
   thunderstorms across parts of the Southwest through tomorrow
   afternoon amid primarily low-topped convection. 

   Farther east, multiple rounds of lower-level warm advection-driven
   convection are expected amid meager elevated buoyancy. The first
   should be ongoing at 12Z tomorrow across parts of north TX and
   southern OK, spreading east-northeast towards the Mid-South, mainly
   with mixed winter precipitation. This warm conveyor regime may
   subside during the day before nocturnally strengthening again
   tomorrow night.

   In the lee of the southern Appalachians, any lingering convection at
   12Z should be in the process of weakening as large-scale ascent
   subsides across the region. Some guidance suggests isolated
   convection may occur near the decaying surface front through the
   day, with overall thunderstorm probabilities appearing marginal.
