Thunderstorm potential will be limited across the CONUS. Strong
onshore flow and cold temperatures aloft will pose a risk of a few
lightning flashes today and tonight over portions of the WA/OR coast
and parts of northern CA. Low-level warm advection and an
approaching cold front could result in isolated thunderstorms this
afternoon over parts of southern LA/MS, and late tonight over south
TX. No severe storms are anticipated today.
