...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

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

...Synopsis...
A mid- to upper-level low located to the west of Point Conception
along the southern CA coast will move southeastward during the
period to the west of northern Baja California. A mid-level ridge
will influence conditions farther east across the Rockies while a
deep trough resides along the Atlantic coast. Cool/stable
conditions will prevail from the MS Valley eastward to the Atlantic
coast while mostly dry and tranquil weather will occur across the
Lower 48. A few showers and perhaps a couple of deeper convective
towers may result in a few lightning flashes over the higher terrain
east of Point Conception in southern CA.
