...Pacific Northwest...
Water vapor imagery shows an upper trough digging toward the WA/OR
coast. Cold temperatures aloft and strong onshore flow will pose a
risk of isolated lightning flashes throughout the forecast period in
this area. More diurnally-driven thunderstorms are possible farther
east over portions of eastern WA/OR and northern ID as the steeper
lapse rates overspread the region.
...Lower MS Valley...
Southerly low-level winds are forecast to strengthen tonight over
the Arklatex region, helping to transport Gulf moisture northward
and slowly destabilize the region. Enhanced warm-advection and lift
may lead to a few elevated thunderstorms after 06z. No severe storms
are forecast.
