...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm potential is low the rest of tonight.

...01z Update...

Upper trough is moving inland along the Pacific Coast early this
evening. A few thunderstorms were noted earlier this afternoon from
southwest OR into northern CA, but this activity has weakened and
updrafts are now struggling to attain heights necessary for
lightning. While scattered weak convection will linger for several
hours, the probability of thunderstorms appears too low to warrant a
categorical risk the rest of the period.
