...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected.

...01z Update...

Center of upper low is drifting slowly south along the central CA
coast early this evening. The majority of convection has now shifted
into the Great Basin where isolated thunderstorms are currently
noted, primarily across northern NV into northern UT. This activity
is expected to gradually wane later this evening, driven in large
part due to a stabilizing boundary layer.
