   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Isolated thunderstorms are possible along the Texas Coast Monday,
   but severe thunderstorms are not expected.

   ...Synopsis and Discussion...
   A southern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to begin the period 
   centered over Far West TX before then progressing eastward across
   the TX Hill Country and middle/upper TX Coast throughout the day.
   Surface cyclogenesis is anticipated ahead of this shortwave over the
   lower/middle TX coast Monday morning, with the resulting surface low
   tracking northeastward just off the TX coast during the day. This
   low is then expected to track more easterly Monday night into
   Tuesday morning, staying just off the LA Coast over the
   north-central Gulf of Mexico. This trajectory is expected to keep
   the warm and moist air offshore, minimizing the buoyancy inland.
   Consequently, despite strong forcing for ascent attendant to the
   shortwave trough, thunderstorm coverage will be limited, with only
   isolated thunderstorms are expected over the TX Coast. The greater
   thunderstorm coverage and potential for a few stronger storms is
   currently expected to stay well offshore. 

   Elsewhere, northern-stream upper troughing will remain in place from
   the northern High Plains into much of eastern CONUS, reinforced by a
   series of embedded shortwave troughs. The progression of these
   shortwaves will also help reinforce the dry and stable conditions in
   place across the majority of the central and eastern CONUS.
