...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United
States through tonight.

...Synopsis...
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to continue through
the overnight hours along the southern CA coast and across parts of
the south-central U.S. An upper wave evident in water-vapor imagery
along the SoCal coast will gradually shift east/southeast towards
the lower CO River Valley through 12 UTC Monday. Cold temperatures
aloft within the upper trough axis, combined with broad-scale
ascent, will continue to support adequate buoyancy for isolated,
transient thunderstorms. Further east, weak ascent along a diffuse
frontal zone and within the right-entrance of an upper-level jet
will continue to promote isolated to scattered thunderstorms from
the upper TX coast into the lower MS River Valley and parts of
western AL. 00 UTC soundings from SHV and LCH sampled buoyancy that
is sufficient for deep convection (MUCAPE between 100-200 J/kg), but
likely inadequate to pose a robust severe threat.
