...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe weather is not forecast across the contiguous United States
through tonight.

...Synopsis...
Water-vapor imagery this morning shows an upper trough centered over
the Great Lakes, with this feature forecast to move east into the
Northeast and east of the Mid-Atlantic states by late tonight.
Farther west, a mid-level ridge will reside over the Rockies with an
upper trough over the eastern Pacific approaching the northern
CA/Pacific Northwest coast late. Scant instability may develop and
result in a couple of thunderstorms late tonight near the immediate
northern CA coast as a strong WAA regime impinges on this region.
